My vision almost complete

If you recall my ramblings a few months back, you'll know just how excited I am to have this vision complete!

well almost complete

It began with a paint color. I wanted a sweet warm buttercup yellow.... and I found it! So I put the Robster to work and he painted, a lot.

Then I helped him paint, a lot.

You see there are 20, yes TWENTY shelves in this bedroom. They started off a boring cream/dirty color. I wanted them fresh and new. So we went with classic white. Painting shelves really sucks, but we got the job done and even though they are not perfect, they are just right for me.

I had been making a collection of decor I wanted for that room. I got quite a few birdies at this awesome little store that is only open Thursdays and Saturdays called Real Deals Home Decor . Think a much smaller scale of a Tai Pan, with more uniqueness. Most of the other do-dads were found at the D.I., and I'm still on the hunt for a few more finds.

Then I found bedding, but that bedding didn't work... then I found the bed... but they were out of stock. Twice. :( Then we found the perfect bedding (thanks Mom!) and I found the perfect pillow and it was magic.

Now, of course kids have to have toys, and I would love nothing more than a room to store those toys in, but we get shelves instead.
So.... to avoid the "toy room" look, I had this gal make ooober cute curtains to contain the toys behind!

Genius I tell ya!!!

and as a trade I helped make her a blog, which will be one you will become addicted to as soon as she gains the courage to write.

because she is seriously so funny. Like for reals, my belly has not laughed so hard since she's been gone.

So now that it is 92% complete, I find myself walking down the hall and staring in this new room that I love in every way.

It helps that Taryn loves it just as much. She has been so great with transitioning into a "big girl bed." She actually takes better naps in there as well!
