Maddie's room is underway!

Before we found out that Baby Hart was a little girl, I was searching the internet for different nursery ideas. I had found bedding that I loved for a girl at Land of Nod, but the problem is that now they say no quilts or bumpers on the cribs. This left just a white eyelit crib skirt for the crib, which doesn't help much in the color department. Since Shawn is gone on a golf weekend I decided to spend the morning searching for a plan. I looked at the quilt again at Land of Nod and thought I could just hang it on the chair and use for decoration, but I just couldn't justify $99 for a useless decoration. Instead I came across this cute throw pillow and decided it would be the inspiration for her room. I'm very indecisive and I didn't want to go with one color or theme type room, instead I just wanted it to be fun. I want to be able to find things as I go and know they will all coordinate. The throw pillow will be used on the rocking chair and I will pull colors from it for my other ideas. I also bought the white eyelit crib skirt. I plan to get eyelit curtains to match and some sort of light blocking curtains as well (thanks Kara).

I found an online promo code for free shipping on the pillow and it is set to arrive in 10 days or so. When it comes in I will head out to the paint store and work on that part (my least favorite decision!).

Here is the inspiration...


Here are the things you can look forward to in her room:
Paint walls
Make bookshelf wall like her cousin Kalia's room
Re-finish my childhood toybox made by Maddie's Papou and make a seat cushion for it.
Hang name letters for little Madelyn
Handmade picture artwork
Frame fun artwork I found on etsy for a gallery wall
Possible magnetic info board
Some sort of closet organization (Shawn is not on board with this yet!)
Curtains
Ceiling fan

Stay tuned for more updates on Maddie's room. :)
