Fast forward 5 years...two boys had been in that airplane nursery and we were expecting baby #3. I said from day one it would be a girl. No one believed me since I thought boy #2 was a girl too, heehee. But, our oldest son agreed with me from day one. We were right :). The second I found out we were having a girl I was decorating in my mind. I wanted super girly. I wanted frill and foo foo and lace. I wanted pink and fluff and tulle and roses. My poor husband.
So that wonderful airplane room had to be *gasp* painted. Pink. I made covers for the rocking chair, a cornice, tie backs for the curtains, a lampshade, a bolster pillow. My husband and our neighbor laid new carpet, painted the room pink and white, added a chair rail, replaced the closet doors and considered strangling a bossy pregnant lady (at least I'm pretty sure they wanted to by the look on their faces).
It turned out so beautiful. Here is the before with some spackle-
Here is the after in all its glorious pink-ness-
The canopy over the crib was a pottery barn knockoff made by a friend of mine, love it!!
Gotta love pink!! It is sooo sweet. Thanks for your sweet comment on my door!
