Off the list....

We have been able to check another project off our list...now that the large desk that once occupied the corner of Stella's room is gone, we have finished it all up for our little smooch.

The table/chairs and the toybins were actually Stella's birthday present. I just haven't posted it yet because I needed to get the rest of everything finished.

This is the before/after shot of the table. If anyone is interested I can post a tutorial on how to turn this IKEA table and chairs into something a bit more special...complete with soft cushioned seat.


I found these frames at a thrift store...and just added a shiny new coat of paint. I printed off these silhouette images and framed them...done and done.

This took a bit longer...I created this ABC poster (below) from scratch. A few of the images are vintage, but I created the rest. I then printed the poster and I'm really happy with how it turned out. It is formatted perfectly for this IKEA frame. I think I'll make them available for sell in my etsy shop if anyone is interested.


I love the little dutch boy and girl print on the wall...it was my Grandmothers (my mom's mother)...I love having a bit of something that reminds me of her in Stella's room.

This is the opposite corner of Stella's room...we just need to add the curtains and then we will really be done!

I found these adorable antique animals at a local thrift store. I'm hoping to keep adding to the collection because I'm a bit obsessed with them now.

These little bear-bookends were mine when I was a little girl. I added a fresh coat of paint and they found a new home with Stella's books.

She seems to be enjoying the new space! I'm so happy this project is all done! Although the different pieces have been a work in process for some time...it feels so nice to have it all come together.
