Holly and Greta's room started out a little rough. We didn't have a crib. I was planning on picking one up from Ikea when we got here, but then Ikea stopped selling cribs. We found one second hand instead for $60. Having the crib in the room makes a big difference. I got rid of the yellow side table. At some point, I'd like to replace their bookshelf, even if it's just with something from Ikea like this. But right now, that's not a priority. I would like to either purchase a moroccan pouf or try my hand at crocheting a big old pouf. I think that could be really cool, however if I decide to make a pouf that'll probably have to wait until after Christmas. I'd love to get a little lamp to put on their dresser and make some fabric baskets to replace the current white drawer dividers that are used to hold socks and tights, etc. We ordered this print and I'm going to hang it above Greta's crib. On the wall above both their beds, I plan on putting up a whole bunch of different prints and photos including this princess and the pea embroidery (once I have it embroidered of course) and this free printable. I'm not in love with Holly's bedding. The color of the walls makes it feel really harsh so I'd like to switch that out and make a couple pillows too. Holly was playing with some spools of thread yesterday and totally inspired me. I'm really excited to get going on that. I think it's going to be really pretty. We'll see if I can get that done before Christmas. I'd also like to make some curtains and a throw pillow or two for the glider. Ha. My goal for the room is: simple, comfortable and personal. Without spending too much. Hopefully I can make it happen!
