Hadley's "big girl room" kind of got thrown together quickly when we moved here--I was 40 weeks pregnant, it was 115 degrees outside, and we were in the midst of unpacking + putting the rest of the house together. But I love how it turned out! Hadley's bedding + curtains are from the PillowFort line at Target. I thought the little H pillow cover was a frivolous purchase at the time, but it is Hadley's favorite thing about her bed. Her bed is from Ikea, her toy shelf (originally purchased at Target) is from Shelby's old room in MS/TX, and the book shelf (originally purchased at Target) is from Hadley's nursery & we painted it white to match the bed.
We had to get creative with lighting in the bedrooms of this house. Only the master bedroom has overhead lighting--so weird! Hence the multi-colored floor lamp (from Amazon) pictured below in the corner of Hadley's room.
Next up is Shelby's room! Shelby got our old master bedroom furniture when we moved here. We painted the furniture white, and she kept her same bedding/décor from her room in MS/TX. Thankfully, Overstock still carried her curtains so we were able to just order 2 more panels to accommodate the additional windows!
Shelby's gallery wall is pretty much the exact same as it was in her old room in TX. The canvas above her bookshelf is something she made when she moved into her big girl room before Hadley was born. I put letter stickers on the canvas & then she finger painted over them. Once the paint was dry, we pulled the stickers off so the letters were still white. It says "Trust in the Lord with all your heart."
Since Shelby's bedroom is technically the bonus room of the house, there were a couple weird aspects of the room we had to figure out how to handle. Those two windows pictured below overlook the downstairs floor of the house, so we put blinds over them to provide privacy and make it seem more bedroom-ish. The other weird thing was there wasn't a closet, so we purchased the white wardrobe closet below from Ikea to give Shelby a bedroom closet. The one upside to Shelby's room being the bonus room was it already had the wiring for overhead lighting, and we happened to purchase her a fan/overhead light in SA that we moved with us to this house! So that worked out perfectly. :)
At the end of year celebrations at Marvelously Made, they decorate the walls with photo ribbons of each child. Those are Shelby's two ribbons from her two years at MM displayed on the side of her closet as well as her poster they made for her after her final year. The poster reads:
Do you know what you are? You are a marvel. You are unique. In all the years that have passed, there has never been another child like you. Your legs, your arms, your clever fingers, the way you move. You have the capacity for anything. {Pablo Casals}
You write long stories with Ms. Elizabeth.
You enjoy making potions.
You are often singing & making up songs.
You read along with Ms. Jennifer at Gathering Time.
You love painting.
Yes, Shelby, you are Marvelously Made.
It's been about 8 months since Shelby received that poster, and it still tugs at my heartstrings when I think about it. What a blessing that school was to us. How many children are lucky enough to get to go a truly child-honoring school where the teachers love & genuinely get each & every kid? The photo ribbons & poster are such a special keepsake!
Next up is the master bedroom. We completely redid our bedroom when we moved. Our bedroom furniture/décor had been the exact same since we got married in 2007, so we decided we were due for an update! Our dresser + nightstands came from Ikea, and our bed shockingly came from Amazon! I was a little apprehensive about making such a big purchase without seeing it in person, but we absolutely love the bed!
Excuse the cords at the foot of our bed--we're still fully enjoying our electric blanket. :)
You can see a door to the right of our dresser in the picture below--the door is to our balcony that overlooks the pool. You can also see the girls' "Action Jackson" masterpiece above our dresser, which I posted about {HERE} back in October. I love having something we created together hanging in our room, and it perfectly tied in with our color scheme!
Next up is Brady's nursery! Brady was napping while I was snapping pictures of the other bedrooms. When I finished up all of the other photos, I turned on Brady's monitor to see if he was waking up yet so I could take pictures in his room. I was quite taken aback when I turned on the monitor & found him leaning over the edge of his crib!!!! I booked it to his room as quickly as I could, and this was the face that greeted me when I threw open the door:
He was pretty pleased with himself. ;) We'd had it on our to-do list to lower Brady's crib since he had just started sitting up in there, but we hadn't done it quite yet. But pulling up to his knees for the first time & hanging his head over the edge of his crib rails got his crib lowered IMMEDIATELY!
Okay, back to Brady's nursery. :) His furniture & floor lamp (thank goodness we already had that so we didn't have to have another lighting fiasco to figure out!) is the same that we used for the girls from Pottery Barn Kids, and we got him new bedding from PBK. I love the alphabet canvas we have hanging over his changing table. This was a must-have for me. I had a alphabet canvas for the girls hanging over the changing table in their nurseries, and we looked at it while we sang them the ABC's countless times while changing their diapers. The one I ordered for the girl I got on Etsy, but that seller had since closed her shop. Thankfully, my friend Lindsey has a good friend who started painting wooden signs. I messaged her our color scheme, and she came up with the design! I absolutely LOVE how it turned out!!
We were able to reuse the green baskets from Babies R Us on the changing table from the girls' nurseries, but we added a couple new green ones (again, thank goodness for retailers that keep items in stock year after year!!!) along with the striped PillowFort baskets & curtains from Target.
And one more look at this crazy baby thinking he can pull up his own right after turning 7 months old--who does he think he is?!?! He sure is cute though! :)
And lastly, the kids' bathroom upstairs. We hang the memory verses the girls learn in church on the twine strung across their mirror.
I'll be back with the last installment of our House Tour soon! :)
