Isla's Room

We finally finished! It's a small room measuring 6x11 feet, but we love how it turned out. Micah was an amazing daddy when he painted the crib, we thought about buying spray paint cans but we used a power paint sprayer instead (saving our fingers, time, and lots and lots of spray paint cans everywhere) We used KILZ primer, low VOC yellow paint, and a water-based sealer on top.

We'll be putting two 11x14 pictures on the back wall when we get her newborn pics taken.




We went to one of our favorite places, Ikea, to get the dresser and armoire. The hardest part was trying to figure out how everything would fit without making it look TOO cramped and cluttered (but that's hard when you're working with 6x11 feet)




But until she moves into her room we have her cradle all set up in our room. Complete with her "womb sounds" bear. Which Micah really doesn't like, he says it sounds like aliens are in our bedroom ready to abduct him.


I'm glad we started on this early on in the pregnancy. My lower back kills whenever I do anything now. Including folding laundry and organizing!

We've made it to 33 weeks so far and still doing great :)

Oh tawni I LOVE LOVE LOVE the room! The crib color is so stinkin cute. Now you can rest for the rest of the pregnancy and not have to worry about a thing!! ;) So proud that you got that done early...my SIL is due weeks before you and she hasn't even set up the crib!! UGGGG!! it drives me crazy! I'm a "set it up early" type of person. :)

I too adore the painted crib and the blue on the walls is so refreshing and soothing. Lucky little Isla to come home to such a cute room!
