New rooms

This the first day we have two kids' rooms.

The furniture shuffle that occurred this morning went quickly and well.  Thank you, Uncle Graham, for all your help in getting everything moved.  We really appreciated it!

We contemplated leaving the crib on the low setting so that if the transition to twin bed went horribly wrong, we'd have an out.  But, after asking Madelyn if we should leave the crib on the low setting or put it on the newborn setting, she answered, "Newborn," so that's what we did.  She was a good helper and still seems okay with all the change.

The crib in Little Brother's room.  His room is on the northeast corner of the house so it gets nice sunlight in the afternoon.  We're re-using Madelyn's initial bedding since it's boy bedding, and relatively neutral, anyway.

The lamp is my inspiration piece for the room.  (It's probably the nicest lamp in our entire house, too.)  I'm a sucker for Pottery Barn Kids.

Changing table / dresser moved in as well.  I'll probably need to take the "It's a girl!" pillow off the knob before Little Brother moves in in a month or two.

Madelyn's new bed!  The bedroom furniture was mine growing up but the bedding is all hers.  I'm glad we'll be able to use the furniture for her for now.  I joke that I'm a designer in training but I'm learning as I go.  The sheets match her curtains.  Before bath tonight, we hung up her fairies.  Belinda, Fiona, and Vistica (not pictured here) are hung over her bed....high enough that she'd REALLY have to jump to reach them.



I wasn't able to get very many shots of Madelyn's room in the afternoon.  Her room is on the southwest corner of the house so by the afternoon, the sun isn't as bright.  And, I was having technical difficulties with the camera's flash.  I apologize but will try to get more pictures and post soon.

Definitely feeling more settled.
