Sug's Crib

We finally have Sug's room complete (one of the only in the house) and I love it. 

I wanted it to be light, calm and airy; without being too girly.  I tried to keep a lot of the larger pieces such as the walls and furniture gender neutral.  Sug may have a brother someday and this mom is too lazy and cheap to redecorate.  I think it turned out fairly nice; without breaking the bank.

Won't you join us for a tour?

The room is actually quite large, so we had plenty of room to keep the guest bed in place.  Which is nice when Grandmas come to visit.

The artwork is a graphic of Little Women, one of my favorite books growing up.  I think I've read it 3 times and could recite the movie by heart.  The gray background of the image is the text of the entire book.  The rocking chair was a gift from James' parents and is where we snuggle every night before bed.

 

I found this dresser on craiglist.  My talented friend Rick refinished the drawers white and I replaced the pulls with white Lucite knobs.  It's one of my favorite pieces in our house; it turned out great.

The art was really expensive - 3 white cheap canvases, a hole punch, Sherwin Williams paint samples and glue. 

The mini-rocker is a custom piece made by my grandpa.  80 years old and he's still keeping busy.  I love that Sug will be able to give this to her kiddos some day.  The bear in the rocker was made by my mom using fabric scrapes from my Grandma Pearlie.

The bedding was made by my mom, after I purchased way too much fabric.  I couldn't make a decision and was running out of time (February was among us).  But I think it turned out perfect and oooo so cute.  She even made the sheets which actually fit better than the store bought ones.

And of course my favorite baby animals photos (Glued and nailed to the wall, I had nightmares of them falling off and breaking over her head.  They aren't coming down without a sledge hammer now.)

James and I made this piece of art right before she arrived.  It's a favorite song of ours and made me real weepy when I was pregnant.

The bookshelf used to be a weird little closet with sliding doors. It's much better served as a place for books, keepsakes and old toys of ours.  James' dad got Sug her first sneakers - I have a feeling they will be bike buddies.

This post took a really long time. 

The End.
