Announcing: Sadie's Room

This has taken a lot of time and work, so I apologize for all of the pictures, but I am pretty pleased with how the room turned out.
Here is a before picture (just white walls):
Then we added some green:
Here is the after: We added stripes, a chair rail and some decorations.



I have to add that it was a learning process and it is no where near perfect, but I am glad that we did something new and different, at least to us. At 10 months Sadie finally has a nursery. Better late then never, right?
I don't know if you can really get a feel for the room layout from the pictures (the before picture is as you walk in the room, and most of the other pictures are taken from the opposite direction), but you get the main idea. Thanks so much to Chris for all his hard work, and for the early Christmas present from my mom (the quilt hanger that I put the blanket and dresses on) and Jill, do you recognize the cross stitching on the left? It is the one that says 'some bunny loves you' that you made for me when I was a kid. The other is a little announcement sampler with Sadie's birthday and weight. Someday we hope to get a matching dresser/changing table. It will go where the glider is now, and the glider will go in the corner between the window and the closet (not pictured because it isn't that exciting right now). Someday . . .

That looks so beautiful. I did stripes once and it took a long time. I think I will do thinker stripes next time like yours they look amazing!

That would look great in the little girls room. Now that you have it down will you do the girls room when you come? It is not like you will have anything else to do. It is only 5 more kids that you have now how much trouble can they be.
