Allie's Big Girl Room!

We finally finished it! After several weeks of painting, shopping (for deals), decorating, putting together, etc, Allie's big girl room is finished. And I absolutely love it! Welcome to Allie's shabby chic cottage...
View from the door...there are four stripes on the walls so each stripe is pretty big, we used the same color but two stripes are in a flat paint and two are in semi gloss. It's hard to tell in the picture but the result is really cool. (if you click on the picture to make it bigger, you can see the stripes a little better) My wonderful husband (who is not handy at all!) painted the whole room by himself and did a great job. I'm so thankful to him for doing it all since the baby and I prefer to stay away from paint fumes right now :)

I made all of the decorative pillows in Allie's room, here's a close up of three of them

I found these really cool 3D like flowers that are up in each corner

Matt's parents wonderful friends gave Allie this vanity (they have an 'Ali' too who this belonged too, she is in college now)

Cute toy bins I found on clearance at Homegoods, LOVE that store!

Another pillow I made

Allie's dresser. Another set of wonderful friends gave us the dresser, headboard and footboard when we moved into this house. I sanded each piece, painted them white and then distressed them. Thank you so much Bri and John for this furniture, it is EXACTLY what I would have picked out if we had to get some ourselves!

There are a few more things that I am looking for (like a nightstand and some more accessories) but for the most part the room is done. Allie spent her first night in there on Thursday and let me tell you, she has done AMAZING! I'm completely shocked. I know it's still a little early to tell, but two nights and two naps down and not a single tear, no climbing out at all and no waking up early or not going to sleep. It's literally like she's still in her crib. She's always been a wonderful sleeper so I was worried this would really mess her up but there hasn't been a change at all, it's just wonderful! It still makes me a little sad when I walk in that room because I feel like this is such a huge step from the baby stage to the little girl stage, but my little girl is just amazing and I am so thankful for her!
