This view is looking in from the hall {technically the foyer...we have a 3 bedroom house with an office. We have a million kids, so the office became a bedroom. Unfortunately it does not have a closet, so you will see what we've done to remedy that problem.}...
And the other side of the room...I cannot take credit for the amazing curtains. I had the idea, but my awesomely talented mom made them!!! They are probably my absolute favorite part of the room!
I struggled for a long time deciding what to put on this wall! I knew what I wanted, but placing it all up there was very overwhelming! My poor bff kept encouraging me...she gave me lots of suggestions, but I just kept avoiding this wall!! But once I finally made my decisions there was no stopping me!! Ha! I made the pennants with leftover material from the curtains...love! The letter B was a gift from my momma the day Breslyn was born...so sweet!
This is a SPECIAL TREASURE....this green box was my great grandmothers. And it holds some priceless possessions....most of which belonged to my great grandmother!!! I cry just thinking about them...a beautiful script letter "L" pin, a pearl necklace, a diamond pin, a few other trinkets and one of her small coin purses. It also holds Breslyn's first paci and very first bracelet.
And probably my second favorite piece in the room...my great grandma's antique dresser {which you can read about here}.
I'm a little bit in LOVE with vintage towels, napkins, cloths...and I just started collecting them!! I believe I am gonna have to search every single antique store I go to from now on!! :))
And here is the solution to being without a closet....a big armoire!! Haha! The large letter B is wrapped in dark purple yarn. And that was a BEATING!! It took forever and I will never do that again!! I do love the way it looks, but still...what a beating! The poufs are from her Pinkalicious birthday party a few weeks ago. I haven't decided to keep them there, hang them from the ceiling or just put them away {for other birthday parties}. Suggestions?
I painted the inside yellow...and love it! It really brightened up the inside...
I personalized the plain white lamp with leftover material from the curtains.
Every girl needs dress-up clothes...and dress-up shoes, and purses, and tiaras, bracelets, wands and scarves!!
And to make sure every outfit, shoe, tiara, scarf and purse are in the perfect place you need a mirror!! And let me tell you, she loves looking at herself!! Hahaha!!
And Miss. B's kitchen...she loves it (so does her little bro Owen!)! It is never this clean...food, plates, cups are always thrown everywhere!! Love the little vintage plates...hoping they never get taken off the wall and played with...hahaha!!
And another view of the curtains!!! They are SUPER heavy...so I will have to replace the curtain rod....which we've actually already done. Well, they were ordered {thanks Grandma!!}, they arrived, we went to put them up and they didn't come with hardware...grr!! So we are on hold for right now! But take my word....they are gorgeous!
Up close view...don't look at the scuffed trim!! Teehee!!
My first attempt at making a chalkboard...and I love it! It's made from an old cabinet door. You can't really tell from the picture but it has a bit of yellow coming through!! And below the chalkboard are two plant holders. I purchased them from Hope Depot, spray painted them and screwed them in the wall...easy peasy. However, I must honestly say although they are super cute, they aren't practical. :( The toys slip through the cracks. But it holds books and bigger toys well. It also displays more vintage cloths!
Ooooo and I am so excited about this piece! This was from an old house in the area. My bff and I have an inside joke about this particular object. She bought some old wooden scraps from a warehouse and the sweet old man that ran it had a bit of an accent...he kept referring to a piece similar to this one as "windermouldin"...she finally translated that to "window molding"!!! Hahaha!! I adore Breslyn's windermouldin!! :)
I so hope you have enjoyed the tour!! Sorry it was jam-packed with pictures!!
a-DOR-able! The curtains are amazing - send Mom to my house, k? Oh, and you and I can NEVER go to Canton together - dangerous.
