Over the past couple of years Grace’s room has evolved from a neutral nursery to a girly toddler room and now we’re working on revamping the kid’s room(!!!) to make space for our new babe. We’ve been working on transitioning Grace into a toddler bed during the past few months to ensure that she’d be ready to pass her crib down. The crib she has now transitions into a toddler bed, BUT we recently changed our mattress and thought our old one would have better use in the kids room. We thought a larger mattress would work best for those late night feedings when the baby won’t stop crying and the only way to comfort him is to lay him on your chest…all while attempting to not wake dad up because he has to work early the next morning. Plus it doubles as a guest bed :0)
I made this mobile from ornaments I pulled off my moms Christmas tree. She got them from last year’s Target’s post Christmas sale. I saw them on her tree this year asked her if she was willing to part from them given that they would be used towards a great cause. She loved the idea… thanks mom! (I’ll post a tutorial soon)
Here’s a closer look at the sparkly Mr. Walrus
Grace insisted on talking to her little brother who was laying in the crib so patiently during this shoot. 
Just kidding… he wasn’t very patient. He’s a cutie, but requests attention. Immediate attention.
This reading space is one of my favorite spots in our home. It’s where I rocked Grace to sleep when she was a little baby and now where I read to Grace. Plus… she’s memorized this entire book and reads it back to me… which is pretty cute.
Here’s the “toddler” bed. I’ve attempted to turn it into a day-bed but the mattress is huge and there’s no hiding it’s true identity. Grace loves it and we figured that if she happens to fall off the bed, the damage won’t be so bad. The pillows on the bed have been around forever except for the black and white stripped pillow case. Mom sewed both of those for me from an Ikea fabric that I purchased years ago.
I made this banner while I was 38 weeks pregnant. The whole thing took me close to two hours but I really liked the pizzazz the banner added to the room.
The oversized clock has been with us for years (it used to be red) and the deer head was a Marshall’s find during one of our Christmas shopping trips. Win!
Have I mentioned that I’m an aspiring interior designer?? Mediocre at best but I have heart and that counts for something. Right??? Anyway… I’m not so sure how long these two will be in the same bedroom, but for now this will do.
Beautiful!!! I love this space and how you captured it! Great job, you have great taste. I love the “toddler bed”, I think it’s perfect, more space is a really good idea. These photos are beautiful and your children are beautiful – enjoy the new room 🙂
