We left off a few months ago with Amelia's room looking like this.
She adjusted to her new room just fine...well better than fine. She loved showing it off to everyone. At first she was sleeping in her crib. Pretty quick after moving her in here she was clearly outgrowing her crib. About a month ago we decided to move her up to a twin bed. Luckily for us, this girl handles change really well. She LOVES her new bed and we have not had any issues with the transition. I think she got out of bed once and I asked her to get back in...and she did. Just like that, she has grown up.
We didn't have a bed frame for her twin. We had planned on buying a universal frame until we could find something we liked. We quickly decided we wanted to make one..as we usually do. For the last month Amelia has been sleeping on her mattress on the floor. A little weird but at least she wont fall out right?? Right now her room is looking a little more lived in. We added a rug, art, curtains (homemade by my mom), and some personal touches. Oh and of course we added her bed.
A drawing I did and a frame Amelia painted.
Amelia's Birthday picture.
Her chalkboard wall gets a lot of action. I have also hung up some of her art, pictures, and a print of Amelia Island from Yellow Brick Home. This is one of my favorite spots in the house.
When we decided to build the bed I went straight to Ana White to look for some plans. Ana White is the go to for me because she has plans for nearly everything (for free) from beginner to advanced. Brian is not a beginner but I like to keep things semi-simple. This is the plan that we are going with.
It is coming together perfectly. I am not 100% on what I will do with the finish but I have a couple of ideas. We can be sure that it will be mostly white though. That's a given.
The best part is that the wood (and some work) were a Christmas gift from my parents. We are feeling very blessed and excited!
Happy Thursday!
