It turned out exactly like I wanted it too, and I didn't do one thing for it! My mom did almost the whole thing by herself. She painted the one wall pink, made the picture frame "thing", refinished the chest and nighstand, put together the bed, and put it all where it is in the room! That is a big job! She made me sit down and watch! My dad and husband also did their share with helping put stuff together! Ava's room is my favorite room in my house now, and I just can't wait to put her in it!
This is the picture frame "thing" that my mom made. It's pictures of Ava's cousins, grandparents, and parents in brown frames with brown and pink scrapbook paper for matting and hung with different brown and pink ribbons.
I put this picture up so you could see the bed and bedding! Julie helped me pick out the bedding, and Adam, Julie, Chad, and Karen got it for us as a gift! I am so excited to have it too!
The glider was a gift from my parents, and my cousin Chasidy painted the ABG picture!
This is where we will rock our sweet baby girl! We can't wait to get to use it!
This is the changing table my wonderful husband put together! He was glad to do it too! He just can't wait to change all those diapers. In fact, it's going to be his first experience with diapers....I'll let you know how that goes! My mom painted, finished, and put the ribbon on the letters. Yes, she is very crafty and talented!
My mom also refinished the drawers on the chest! It was a lot of work! The dolls were my Meme's, and my mom and I just thought she would love to have them in Ava's room. My Meme loved her dolls and I'm glad that Ava can have a piece of her. I can't wait to tell her all about her Meme! Those are headbands hanging from the shelf. (I'm kind of addicted....)
This is a close up of a drawer so you can see the cute knobs we found! The drawer is painted pink with a light brown stain over it and the edges are sanded.
I just have to say "Thank you" to my mom for all of her hard work. I never would have been able to do what she did! Also, to Dad and Matt who helped a lot too! I know Matt is glad it's done, so I will relax a little! Now all we need is a baby to make this room complete!
