Some Little Changes In Millie's Room

I wanted to share some new additions to Millie's room with you. First off being the alabaster lamp that I found at the Goodwill for $7! Very exciting indeed!

The second new thing in her room are the curtains. I am not a big fan of curtains but the sun kept shinning right into her crib when she was napping and something needed to be done about it. I suddenly remembered that I had bought a small piece of this beautiful fabric over ten years ago in the hopes that I would someday have a little girl. Well the fabric remnant sat patiently in my stack of fabrics all this time and I finally was able to do something with it.

The quilt hanging over the side of the crib is the one that I mentioned buying a couple of weeks ago. The pale blue is the perfect compliment to all the other pale shades in the room and is the same blue as in the curtains, I love when that kind of thing happens!

My sister made the sign on the shelf above the crib, she made it for my shop but I thought it would look cute in Millie's room. I may sell it eventually, but for now I love it in here.

 I just had to share this adorable dress that my sister-in-law sent....too cute! My mother-in-law and sister-in-law are always sending Millie the most adorable clothes, she is always going to be so well dressed thanks to them:)

And while we are on the subject of Millie how about a current picture?:)

Thanks for stopping by and please make sure to stop back on Friday for this months edition of FARMHOUSE FRIDAY!

Baby's Room Part Two

I know some of you must be wondering.....yes we had our baby girl!!! We welcomed Amelia on August 29th! She is healthy and quite the cutie if I do say so myself:)

And I finally found the time to show you the rest of her room!!!

The dresser is a thrift store find that I painted white and added glass knobs to.

I bought this shelf at the Country Living Fair a few years back. It seemed perfect for all of the little things I had been collecting for the nursery. My friend Maria from campbluewall.blogspot.com sent me the adorable vintage baby bottles. They make for the perfect addition to the things that I had picked up here and there, thanks Maria!

I bought this adorable hand made doll house at the flea market at least 10 years ago for $1 in the hopes that I would someday have a little girl. I know that it will be awhile before she can actually play with it but I just couldn't wait to drag it down from the attic, and at 9 months pregnant that is literally what I did:)

My Dad built the trunk the doll house is sitting on for me when I was a little girl. It has been many colors over the years but I painted it "Prairie Sage" by Glidden for now. I actually happened upon the color by accident, it was a $10 clearance can of paint so I thought I would give it a try. I knew I wanted my accent color in this room to be green because I want to be able to switch out the pink things for red. I also knew that I wanted the green to have a 1940's looking feel to it. When I brought the green paint home I was so excited to find that it was the perfect shade.

I also painted a thrift store mirror the same green and hung it above the dresser.

On this side of the room I hung a $10 flea market cupboard to hold the baby powder and ointments. And the adorable vintage baby basket was $5 at the thrift store. I found it on one of those days when I only had $5 to my name and it was marked $10. I was devastated when I saw the price, but then I saw a sign that said "Half Off All Items"! I wanted to do a jig!

I bought the hooks on the antique molding piece at the flea market over the summer. It fits perfectly over the $3 thrift store changing table.

I painted a $1 basket white and hung it here for quick access to diapers.

Another $1 thrift store find that I am really excited about is the quilt on the side of the crib. It is from Pottery Barn and is the perfect light pink and cream colors.

All in all I am quite pleased with the way this room came together and I think it may be the cheapest room redo that I have ever done. Hopefully little Millie will love it too!

I've been relishing every second with my baby girl and would spend my day just staring at her if I could but please know that if you sent me an email in the last month or so I promise I will get back to you soon! I am really getting good at doing everything one handed (this post included) so I hope to go through all my emails and to start visiting other blogs again sometime soon!
