moving on, we had to get lila out of the crib and move it into layne's room. he's a heavy sleeper, so the new peanut will sleep in there. layne's very excited to share his room with the baby...which i find endearing. i'm really excited about this goodness, but have yet to finish. soon and very soon...i'm on it. i'll post pics when it's done.
onto lila's room!
i found a bed frame in the trash one day. actually 2 matching metal bedframes. um, who throws this goodness away? silly gooses. the problem is, it's a queen bed. so everyone's like, why does lila get a huge bed? but i say, the bed chose her, we didn't choose the bed. nato says this further shows my tendancy to treat lila like princess. wha-hut everrrrrr.

so i found this bedding goodness including all the pillows in the urban outfitters sale section online. we didn't have to buy a matress so i got to go a little nutty on the bedding. but still, it was all on sale.


here's her rug, because you wanted to see it right?

of course, there is a wall of random. the ABC print is free! and you can print it in any color combo.
brilliant! just printed and framed it.the rest is stuff we already had laying around. the lamp light decals(set of 3) were bought on clearance at joannes for $7.


i made this sign for lila when she was born. it's from the side of an old wagon. the bike was a white elephant gift that we tried to put in my friends cars when they weren't looking. it always made it's way back to our house. and after i painted the seat white, i was like, this is actually cute. so ya. random.

this shelf (below) was in her old room:

just did a little re-do with spray paint and fabric:

and my mother(who used to hang wallpaper in the 80's!) hung the wall paper for me because she is an angel. it's from graham and brown...$70/roll. but well worth the investment for the POP of eye candy.
totally happy with how it turned out. she's a big girl now, ya'll. it's OH-fish.

i know, the pic is a little blurry. use your imagination to de-blurrify.

layne can share a room with the babe and lila can share a room with me. it's perfect. 'cause i love that trashy bed. :)i love the grown up colors too... and um hi i gained 55 lbs with grayson. i was pretty hot. if you are in to beached whales. :)
ReplyDeletei will totally trade lila for her room. yum.
ReplyDeletelove the bedding colors.
yellow and gray and navy? (maybe?) so dreamy.
and that wallpaper? worth every penny. #jeal
Wow! I'm 26 and so jealous of her room. That room is stylin'.
ReplyDeleteThat is the greatest girl room I've ever seen. I can't believe that I am legitimately jealous of a little kid's room.
ReplyDeletebeautiful room!! my 3yr has a double bed cause he moves around so much so im all for little kids in big beds if ya got the room ;)
ReplyDeleteWow, that is GORGEOUS! Would it be weird if I stayed in that room? I love the bedding, great job!
ReplyDeleteLila's room is wonderful! She has a way better room than I do, that's for sure! Great job!!!
ReplyDeletei want a big girl room that looks like that. it's fantastic!!!
ReplyDeleteHer room is adorable!! I love it!! :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE her room! So beautiful! I love the purple, grey and yellow colourings, so pretty! Luck Lila
ReplyDeleteNgaio May x
PS - six weeks! So exciting!! : )
beautiful!
ReplyDeletelove the wall paper! love the big girl-ish-ness.
does she LOVE it?
Just love it!! Beautiful xo
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable big girl room! I especially love her name painted on the old wagon side. So sweet!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the bedding! and that wall, i so want to do it, unfortunately all the walls in our bedrooms are slanted...dang old homes:)
ReplyDeletewow what a cute room! lila is so lucky! :o)
ReplyDeletegoodness...I'm jealous! :) LOVE IT!! :)
ReplyDeleteOH EM GEEEEE!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI swoon, I swoon.
Gorgeous.
(and there is nothing wrong with making your girl the princess:)
This turned out so awesome! She has to have the coolest big girl room around! Love the color choices and the fabulous finds and repurposing you did! Way to rock, Momma!
ReplyDeleteI have bedroom envy! Very creatively & stylishly done :)
ReplyDeleteI found your blog through LifeMadeLovelyMonday - I'm also preggers with #3, due in 7 weeks and have also put on around the 40lb mark. It's awesome... So don't worry you're not alone in this!
All the best for the final stretch before bubba arrives, I shall be watching for the news :)
LOVE IT!!! It is adorable!!! Good job mama!
ReplyDeleteAnd please tell me the matress was not also in the garbage...I mean I won't judge you if it was...well maybe a little.
=) very cute!!
I know the feeling you mentioned with the miscarriage. Struggled with my faith even up to or drive to the hospital! But God is good!
ReplyDeleteGorg. I love the bedding and wallpaper. Glad that bike made its way back to you. And if it makes you feel any better, I gained more than 60 pounds during both pregnancies and lost all but the last 5.
ReplyDeletei love the pillows! especially the lace one! and you just inspired me to use the white shelves that i had thought we so 3 years ago. love the room! :)
ReplyDeleteHOT DANG! I am so inspired by this room, and i never say that. Please come do Ivie's when we move into our house.
ReplyDeleteabout the hair - it's ok....but she decided to part my hair on the other side based on the "levels of my eyes" and my "dominant lower quarter" or some kind of bs like that. i didn't know changing your part was even legal. it's all good, i just need to do some readjusting before i instagram it. not loving pics of myself these days because i am a chunker - 20 lbs at 20 wks. I'm on track for 40-60 again too.
love,
your fellow big mama
Who WOULDNT love that room? Its gorg-e-mous! The ruffles, the colors, the rug, wallpaper, everything! Thanks now Im jealous. She has a better room than I do:)
ReplyDeletexo,
Sarah
Nesting women are a force to be reckoned with. I know because we crafternooned yesterday because of it.
ReplyDeleteThis is adorable! Love the bedding and the wall paper! I didn't get a queen size bed till I got married...lucky Lila!
ReplyDeleteAdorable! Great job! The wallpaper looks awesome!!
ReplyDeleteThat is such a sweet room! I really love the bedding!
ReplyDeleteCould you come decorate my house for me?
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the fun inspiration. We are moving out of our apartment in 4 months and then I will hopefully be able to finally decorate a room for Nora.
I can't wait!
i'm pretty sure i spent the first two years of my marriage removing wallpaper from our house. i will never do that again, but walls like lila's tempt me a bit. and whoever threw away that bed needs a good slap! good find!
ReplyDeleteThis is adorable! I love the wallpaper and the bike :)
ReplyDeleteI was a 40-pounder too. Ugh for people saying to me, "oh! look, it's just in your stomach!" No, no it is not.
Our daughter will also likely what we have because I think she is amazing. I mean, because it's what we already have.
Beautiful! Love all the details! How does Lila like her big girl room?
ReplyDeletewowie! i am in love with all of the fun details. xo
ReplyDeleteyou should've called this post..."the girl who never naps". also, does lila have the biggest room in the house? i think so
ReplyDeletePsh, K-Dub has a full size bed but it I got it when my Grandpa passed away so everyone can just suck it! But she is an only child so noone really cares! Oh and I my sweater pillow pics are posted!
ReplyDeleteWhen you are done making babies you should become an interior designer, just a thought! I would pay you for your creativity...
ReplyDeleteWhen you're finished making babies you should become an interior designer...I would be your first client!
ReplyDeleteLove love love this room!! I'm moving soon and my daughters "big girl room" is SO on my mind! I found you through Live Made Lovely...an I'm now a follower:) Love your raw, honest writting! Such a breath of fresh air to read when someone is keeping it real!
ReplyDeleteso when I buy a house in a few years, you'll be free to come help me decorate right? No? That's weird? :)
ReplyDeleteThis is SO lovely!
OMG, I love this room! I think Lila is one lucky little lady! I fele inspired as I am expecting in 4 months and want the room to be fun, so thanks Jami!
ReplyDeleteadorable! i love it. can you please start looking in the trash for a queen bed frame for leighton? thanks!
ReplyDeleteJami! Lila's room is absolutely fabulous! I am sooo inspired and just think she is one lucky little lady! I am expecting in four months and haven't felt the urge to nest yet, but I am excited to hopefully get a creative nesting bug like you!

simply and completely in love with this room!
ReplyDeletefabulous job in every way.
I love everything you do... it's kind of ridiculous. Lila's big girl you is way cooler than mine, and I just redecorated last May and did a pretty good job. I'm going to have to step it up and add some more fun details. You inspire.

ReplyDeleteWow that is QUITE the grown up room :)
ReplyDeleteAlso, I loove that wallpaper. And also everything else. But especially the wallpaper.
And the nesting & etc.? All in due time, God will give you just the right amount of time/lack of time that you need!
LOVE it! Such a fun, eclectic, room. I'm sure Lila will be very happy in there. :)
ReplyDeletelisten, i'm kinda a snob when it comes to decorating, i know i'm sinful. but i can HONESTLY not until compulsion say, this is so so so so cute! i hope london's room can be that cute when she transitions to big gurl.
ReplyDeleteand 84 comments gurl, whew. this one was hot!!
Wow!!! Her room is absolutely beautiful!!! I love everything about it! And, I don't think you are crazy for stalling on the nursery...I had 2 m/c's before I had my girls & I didn't set up the nurseries until after they were born. Crazy, I know!
