"nubee's" room

over the last few months i have been preparing for the upcoming arrival of our little baby girl. now, our first daughter's room i decorated in pinks and browns. this time around i wanted to do it a little different. the room happened to already be a light purple, so i decided to go with a purple, brown, and green theme. however, i couldn't find any bedding i loved...or if i did, it was the super expensive type. so i decided i would try and make the bedding and decor for the room. mind you, i have never...i repeat, NEVER done anything like this before. i am a major novice when it comes to sewing. but, i am pretty pleased with how everything has and is turning out. i still have a few more things to finish up (like the artwork for the walls), but otherwise, i am pretty much done with the sewing components.

without further ado, here is the room!

voila!




the bumper, dust ruffle (didn't make the sheet); curtain (don't mind the clutter on the sill); pillow in the crib; bird mobile (more below)



bird mobile inspired by an idea i found at homemade by jill. i like my birds a little more squatty, so i altered the pattern a bit. i'm happy with how they turned out.



the blanket on the chair didn't turn out quite like i would have liked, but oh well. it has a green with small brown dot pattern on the opposite of the minky...it's also on the other side of the pillows. oddly, i didn't take a picture of that fabric anywhere. i put some trim matching the bumper fabric and then a satin ribbon like the bumper ties on the base of the lamp shade to tie it in. and then another close up of the fabrics i used. my favorite was the amy butler fabric i used for the dust ruffle, curtain, and blanket trim. and a little picture of the closet in progress. all i did there was add a curtain rod. big whoopie. ;)

now i am just hoping to get some things hung and finish the artwork before it's too late. and i am waiting to do her name art until after she is born. i'd hate to order something and then decide on a different name.

i am so excited to meet my new little girl!!
