This past weekend, Jeremy and I switched around our furniture to create a "big girl room" for Bella and a "nursery" for brother! We decided to keep the queen size bed that was in the guest room and just move it to Bella's room...with all our family out of town we needed to have a queen for when they come visit! Thankfully, it's pretty low to the ground so I think it will work out just perfectly for a growing toddler! After painting brother's room...Jeremy moved all the baby furniture into the guest room. I just loved the fabrics we used for Bella's nursery so I decided to keep the same fabrics and just add a few items to transform it into a "big girl room." I found the comforter at Target...which seems to match just perfectly! I ordered some extra striped fabric and used fabric from her crib skirt to sew a queen size box pleated skirt. Then, I just whipped up some little throw pillows. I was able to keep the curtain and the quilt from her nursery. Everything seemed to come together just perfectly! Decorating on a budget is much easier when you can sew...that's for sure! =) As you can see, these pictures were taken pretty soon after putting it all together...so we still have a few wrinkles on the comforter and skirt...
Bella loves her new room! She has been full of smiles every time she walks in...
The past few nights, she has slept in the crib in the nursery...but she has done so well crawling up on the bed and sliding off that I think we are just going to get her a bed rail this weekend and see how she does transitioning to the big bed in the next few days! I will have to keep you posted! Two big transitions coming before brother...big girl bed and saying good-bye to paci...praying they are easy transitions for my sweet girl!
Here's the video from Monday morning when she woke up to find her new "big girl room." Precious...just precious! Made me feel like we gave her a million dollars! Just click on the link...

Hey Whitney! This is just precious of sweet Bella. I love how she keeps repeating that she likes it. So rewarding that she enjoys all of your hard work.
