Harper's Room...Before and After

Well, after a whirlwind summer, we are finally settling in to our new house.  I am in love.  The wood floors, the millions of windows, the island in the kitchen.  It's all fabulous.

The house really was move in ready, so first on our to-do list was Harper's room.  We passed on all her nursery furniture to my sister who will hopefully be giving me a niece or nephew sometime in the next year or so.  We wanted to let Harper help pick what would go in her new "big girl" room.  We got some paint swatches and let her pick the color, ordered new furniture, found bedding clearance on Target.com and even completed a DIY project I found on Pinterest.  So here is the before and after:

AFTER

Should have turned my flash on.  The room looks pink here.  Also, we need new curtains.

The inspiration came from a pin about gutter shelves.  When I went to buy the gutters, they seemed large and flimsy.  We looked around and found this framing material with a j-channel in it instead.  It worked perfectly.

We still need to get more stuff to hang on her walls.  Joe is going to paint a mural on the wall by her bed, so that will be really cute once he gets a chance to work on it.  It was so fun helping Harper move in to a big girl room.  She loves her little reading corner.  Hopefully we can work on the downstairs decor soon.
