Progress in the big girl room!

It's been a battle (with myself) trying to decide whether to leave it blue and touch up rough spots or paint it green.  I thought we had some blue paint left to do touch ups but we didn't.  It worked out well though because upon further inspection, those poor walls were in serious need of repainting.  I decided to go with the green walls that I originally wanted and they look amazing!  The trim in that room looked pretty sad too so I painted it the same antique white as her furniture.

The pink and green ladybug bedding has been ordered...just waiting impatiently for it to arrive!  I'm still looking for drapes, which has not been easy.  I need 4 panels and that can add up BUT Pottery Barn Kids has a great sale on their gingham drapes right now.  When the quilt gets here, I can take it up there to make sure they match.  If that doesn't work out...I think I'm going to make them.  I just haven't found any simple, soft pink drapes anywhere, other than PBK and those are pricey.

Her room is so close to being finished and I'm SO ready to be done with it.  It's been a LOOOOOONG process of finding furniture, clearing out the guest room/office (wow we had a lot of junk in there!), painting the furniture (which I could only do while she napped so that took several days), deciding on colors and bedding and then painting the room.  It's so close now and it looks so good so far!

Here is a little mock up of what the room will look like:

I can't to move her into her new room.  I think she knows it's going to be hers and she's getting excited!
