Maggie's Big Kid Room (finally)

So a million years ago I said I would post some photos of Maggie's big kid room and here they are, finally. You can't really tell the paint color well but it's a light apple green. Her bedding has birds all over it and so I made the "art" above the bed to go with it. I made it a few days before Finn was born so I couldn't quite maneuver it the way I needed to, thus the line the birds are standing on is crooked. Maggie's bed is on loan from our friends the Duprees. Before Maggie slept on it, Emme Dupree (age 10) had it, and before Emme slept on it, her mom Tiffany (my age) slept on it, and before Tiffany slept on it it was in a brothel in Texas. So it has a long and colorful past.

Maggie's dresser also has a long history. It belonged to my grandmother and before that it was in my mom and aunt's room when they were children. My mom told me that she was so excited when they bought it as a child that she remembers sketching it in her journal. I thought that was pretty cute. Her toy bin is just from IKEA :)

I LOVE the art you did!! This is so cute. Funny, but we have the same dresser, AND my grandmother in Texas also has it! Ours was passed down from Kevin's mom, who had it when she was little. so pretty!

oh, and I like how the line is not straight across, I was actually even thinking that before I read that it was a mistake.

I know I get to see this all the time but I still love it. I wish I was half as creative as you are. Love you!

I love it that my childhood dresser made it to the big time....being published on the World Wide Web in your blog. I knew it was special when I got it at age 9!!! (The room pictures show off your decorating skills very well)
