Audrey's Big Girl Room is Ready and Oh so Cute!

Audrey's big girl room is ready and we LOVE it! Mom and Dad came to town this weekend and mom and I worked on it all day Friday. It is perfect for Audrey. She already goes in there all the time to play. Much more fun than the nursery. She's just about ready to hand that nursery over to her sissy. Mom made the curtains out of a shower curtain we found. Loved the material. It fit perfectly. And at the last minute we found the material for the tie backs and the big buttons. They pulled it all together so well.
We painted the rocker and put a butterfly and flower on it that you can't really see. You will see below that Audrey loves the rocker.

The shelf was also a last minute idea to add some more of the bright red and to display some of our favorite books.

The bedframe isn't actually put together yet. We realized when we started to put it together that the mattress/box springs is too long. We also have a dust ruffle that we haven't put on yet. Love the bedding though. And the little table was lovingly given by Grandpa who now has nowhere to put his coffee.

Gran put these pictures together and they are precious. They are nursery rhymes on canvas, kind of antiqued. LOVE them! Closer picture at the end of the post.

We think we've decided not to do the decal here that you all voted on. sorry about that. :) decided it was too much and ($) too much. :)

The toy box was a gift from Nana last Christmas and we painted it and added flowers and butterflies.

Gran surprised us with the cute picture above the bed. So cute!

And here are a few of Audrey enjoying her rocker and her books.





Audrey and her Daddy having some music time together.
And Nettie too, of course.



And lastly a close-up of the pictures...
The middle girl here in this picture's name is Audrey. Little cutie.

And there you have it, a big girl room for a big girl. :)

Thanks for all of your help Gran. We love it!

Now we just have to hope that Audrey will sleep in the big girl bed when the time comes. We'll see.

Audrey's big girl room is so beautiful! Good job Mommy & Gran! I love how the books are used as art/decoration. Good call on the poster. I hope the transition to the big girl bed is a smooth one. Schafer transitioned without a problem - he was jumping in and out of his crib anyway! ha ha.

Love it! Eric has done really well with the transition. Hope it goes well with Audrey, too. Maybe you can try turning her crib into a toddler bed before transitioning her to the real bed.

I love this room! So cute! Are you planning to move her into the new room after the baby comes? I hope that goes well! I've heard stories from friends about their toddlers freaking out over too much change at once. I'm hoping we move to a bigger house within the next year so that I can move my son into his own "big boy room" well before he has a younger sibling!
