A Real Baby?!: Anna's room

I thought I would post some pictures of Anna's nursery...even though she's not a baby anymore, this is what her room has always looked like. Maybe one day she'll enjoy looking back at it, and finally here's a look for all my girlfriends in EA that pored over paint colors and fabric samples with me for months :)

I found a similar idea on the web and changed it around to work for Anna's room. Mark painted her room the pink and blue, and I painted the tree on the wall. It has cream and gold flowers, and ivory and pink rosettes that I made out of linen. I couldn't find the right shade of pink linen, so I dyed some of the ivory with good ol' RIT dye. It was a lot of fun.

One side of her crib is up on risers because she has a little cough right now and it helps :)

Behind Anna's chair is a ballerina poster my sister Anne brought me back from Germany when we were 18. I had it framed for my room in college, and now it hangs in Anna's room!

In one corner of her room, I hung a sweet plate with her 6-week old footprints, a cross stitched prayer someone made for me when I was born (and hung in my nursery), and a shadow box with Anna's hospital bracelet, bassinet name tag, and first little shirt....ohhhh, so sweet!

This little table was in my dad's house when I was little, and went to college with me to my first apartment!

To hold all of Anna's hairbows, Mark made this from an idea I saw on Pinterest. Then I hung one of the garland decorations from her 2nd birthday celebration above it. It's so fun to have a little girl!
