"Pink Woom!"

The before...















...and after!

So Ryan finished Emerson's room on Monday night, just in time to have the girls over for Bunco. It turned out great as you can see and it's just EXACTLY what I had envisioned. I think Emerson likes it too...

This room was our old guest room and just had a combination of my things and Ryan's things from our rooms in college. The curtains are from the previous owners... Kind of gross.

The walls were "Tiffany" blue when we moved in to this house. This color is actually an improvement, believe it or not. We literally painted this room the day after we moved in.

Emerson is skeptical of our plans...

Little does he know the amount of hours he's about to spend in this room... I haven't seen him smile since.

And we're off. We got the furniture out and Ryan tore up the heinous navy blue carpet. The blue tape on the wall is the guideline for the future chair rail.

Note the nasty ceiling fan. Ryan (like in the nursery) also had to paint all the woodwork in the room. This included 3 doors. I think it took him 3 or 4 coats.

First coat of the pink paints with the roller.

Ryan folded the carpet into the center of the room to use as his work space.

It already looked so much better just with the blinds back up and the new ceiling fan in. Ryan only shocked himself once.
My shoes are a whole other issue. Yes, that closet is full of my shoes. If her feet grow abnormally fast, we can share!

Doors back up, new carpet in.

And here it is. The finished product. The bed and dresser are from my room(s) growing up. They seem so much smaller now!








We'll put her in sometime after Christmas- I think she'll love it! Ryan is available for hire for the right price... :)

Love the room! The little vanity is adorable! My sister gave me a Restoration Hardware Kids catalogue and totally got me in "new room" mode to decorate for a big girl! But I am NOT ready to move her out of her crib:). I am sure you will keep us updated with how it goes!
