It's such a beautiful space: big and bright, and with the newly painted walls, freshly polished floors and new furniture it just feels so fresh. Full of promise - just like its little occupant.
It's been so much fun decorating this room. Abbey's previous bedroom (which is now being converted into an office) was done when I was pregnant, so it was all very unisex. Buying all these gorgeous things and turning this into a room for a little girl has been fun.
Let me show you around...
 |
| From the doorway. Yes, the room has its own little entranceway! |
 |
| This beautiful embroidery, made for Abbey by Cat of Wouldn't it be Loverly resides in the entrance. |
 |
| As does this gorgeous photo of Abbey and Taylor taken during our shoot with Lou Lou Portraits last year. |
 |
| Another step in reveals... |
 |
| ... this gorgeous height chart from mooo.com.au. |
 |
| Then there is the full-length mirror (from IKEA) and the wardrobe... |
 |
| ... which consists of two lots of shelving (no need for a chest of drawers) and hanging space. |
 |
| Inside the bedroom (Abbey says "Oh wow! A pretty rug!"). |
 |
| And this big window looking out over the front garden... |
 |
| ... adorned by whimsical birds from Paperklip Design... |
 |
| ... and Roman Blinds. |
 |
| Looking back towards the entrance. |
 |
| Tepee made by Steve and I, using a pattern from Childhood 101. |
 |
| My baby's going into a big bed! |
 |
| The toy shelves are from IKEA. |
 |
| A big, bare wall space, to be filled with a specially designed set of wall stickers and revealed... soon! |
What do you think?
Oh so lovely! I wish I had a flair for decorating. When we decorated our firstborn's room it was a horrible pastel green that made the room look like a hospital room.
ReplyDeleteNow we don't even bother, we just let the kids put up their Ben 10 posters and pictures of crocodiles.
OH MEGAN! (yep, caps deserved!) It's gorgeous and I seriously have goosebumps looking at this space you've created for your sweet Abbey. She's a lucky, lucky girl and you can FEEL the love. Beautiful. xx
ReplyDeleteLove it! What a beautiful room, and a great space!
ReplyDeleteI'd be happy to spend hours in there!
Oh! How beautiful! I love it Megan. She is a lucky little lady!
ReplyDeleteCan you adopt me? Ha Seriously, that is a heavenly space for a little girl.
ReplyDeleteIt's perfect. Exactly the kind of room I wouldve imagined for a gorgeous girl like Abbey! Well done, Megan and Steve, it looks great! xx
ReplyDeleteBig windows and lots of cupboards are my dream for every bedroom in the house...one day.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful room...what a lucky little girl is your Abbey! :)

All I kept thinking, while looking at these photos was a) Abbey is a lucky lucky girl and b) you had lots of fun setting up this gorgeous room! Well done, my lovely - I bet it felt wonderful to do this!! xx
ReplyDeleteAwesome - I love it. I'm looking forward to showing you some more of my house too. I hope you are loving it, I'm envious!
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful. I love it. Xxx
ReplyDeleteJust lovely! Every teensy bit!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lucky little Abbey. :)
Gorgeous, what a lovely room for Abbey. xxx
ReplyDeleteso so so so so so lovely!!!!!
ReplyDeleteIt is gorgeous Megan. You have thought of everything! Love the teepee - I will definitely check that link when I move my kids into their new room (she says wondering if it would fit? Hmmm...)
ReplyDeleteTeepee is such a great idea. My eldest loves to hide and play in little nooks - I think he was a burrow dwelling animal in a previous life.
ReplyDeleteAbbey is a lucky little lady. :)
Absolutely gorgeous!! Can I move in! Like you, I decorated Sophie's room when I was pregnant, and we didn't know what we were having. I can't wait till she moves into the bigger room and I can go nuts with girly things! That'll be a while yet though!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure Abbey will have a wonderful time in such a beautiful room! xx
Love it - I especially love the table and chairs in the window. Oh, and the teepee. It's a lovely, light filled room. Well done.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely bedroom you have created! I love the storage, the amazing wardrobe and the table and chairs with their 'view'. I actually purchase the teepee pattern from Childhood 101 myself a few weeks back so it is great to see how someone else's has turned out - I'm yet to make my daughter's yet. Can I ask, is the fabric you used just simple cotton or something heavier?
ReplyDeleteHi Amanda - thanks for the comment! We just used standard cotton, and found it came together pretty easily. Thanks for the comments!
