Girls Room

One of my goals this year is to get all our bedrooms decorated. I know that's not a very noble or spiritual goal or anything, but it's something I like to do! Bedrooms are always the lowest priority for me, so I wanted to spend some time making each bedroom unique and fun. Since baby girl is coming soon I decided to focus on the girls' room. One of the first tasks was fixing our dresser situation. We have a changing table/dresser that was passed down to us from Jeremy's sister when we had Eli and it has been great! We've used it for every baby, but it was time to fix it up and get something else for Anna so we could use the space for the baby's clothes.

We also had an old dresser passed down from Jeremy's mom that Jeremy and I have been using for years as our ONLY dresser. I have no idea how we made that work. I guess with closet space, but we were ready to get something nicer for us and repurpose it for Anna. So we set to work figuring out what to do with the two dressers. I decided to paint them both a light gray and put new knobs on. The changing table didn't have any knobs, so Jeremy drilled some holes for those, and the dresser mostly had drawer pulls, so Jeremy filled some of those holes so we could just do knobs instead. I found some ADORABLE knobs for a great deal on Amazon and I love how cute and girly they are. All in all it cost me less than $40 to completely redo both dressers and wow, what a difference it makes!

Here are the before pictures:

 The whole room! It has been lots of fun. The curtains came with the house, so I just kind of went with the pink theme. I already had the white pictures frames, so I decided to put their initial on there above each of their dressers, and then I got the little wall decals off of Amazon for $10. It was a pretty inexpensive bedroom decorating project and I love it! Anna loves it too. Still everytime she walks in her room, she says, "Ooooh! My pretty room!" It's hilarious. We're excited for this next little girl to come!
 We got rid of the nightstand that was in here and replaced it with the dresser, which makes it so we can fit everything nicely in here! The closet and door are on the wall opposite from the windows.
