So this blog is dedicated to my high school friend - Megan Minkel Schneider - who decided to stop blog stalking me because I stopped posting blogs.
So this one's for you, Megan! :-)
We (almost) finished Ellison's room tonight..just a few things missing -- a lamp for the side table, a curtain/valance for the window, and the adoreable princess piggy bank I saw at Hobby Lobby yesterday and talked myself out of buying for the shelf.
This room started off a lovely beige color and quickly became a catch-all room until last month when we finally started working on it becoming a nursery. Thanks to my DH, it has a fresh paint job and a mural that's girly but not TOO girly. Brendan found a cute chandelier in one of our rent houses a few years ago and we set it aside "just in case" we had a girl. He took it all apart, cleaned it up, spray painted it pink, rewired it and now it's the perfect light for BGH!
He also spray painted the pink shelf and re-assembled all of Jackson's baby furniture and wha-la -- the room is done! 2 months to spare! Hope you like it as much as we do!
The only thing is now Jackson's room looks a little plain. He's next on the list (after we clean the office/new guest room and get our room unpacked and ready for a playpen/cradle). So 3rd on the list...poor kid! I did buy some cabin-y type stuff for his walls but I want to paint before I hang anything else on the walls..
Pics of his room to come in a later blog.
So, back to the subject at hand -- Photo's of Ellie's Room:

Painted tree mural with faux Gerbera Daisies wired into the wall
The outfit is what my niece, McKenzie wore home from the hospital when she was born.
The feather boa wreath I made -- still need to find a way to attach her name in the center. I think we may hang it on our door at the hospital too!
The chandelier Brendan found at a rent house and refurbished.
Big brother Jackson trying out sissy's bed for the last time!
I am honored with the blog dedication. The room looks adorable! I think you need to add a little bird in that tree!:)
