Home Sweet Home II

I guess there are going to be three parts to this tour of my home...some days you just don't feel like taking photos!

Today, I didn't feel like picking up the screened in porch OR taking photos of it, so we'll skip that part today.

However, here I have the kid's rooms!!

First, Emalyn's room (the mirror on top of the bookshelf is actually pink, though it looks orange):
You may have noticed from the living room photo, there is a set of french doors. On the other side of those doors, is Emmy's room. We chose to keep them and not build them out, as a family that is downsizing may prefer to have it a den, or piano room, or some other recreational type room. There is a closet to the right of the french doors...but you never know what people want to do themselves.
Personally, I love those doors and feel like they add a good amount of character to an otherwise typical condo.

I have to talk about some of my favorite things in this room...the fabrics!

The pillow fabric (color theme for the room as well) was actually one big pillow from Home Goods for $20. I cut it in two, attached some backing and sewed some inserts. Viola!

And the chair...I had so much fun seeing that chair come together. (My neighbor was actually getting rid of it, so I took it off her hands!)
This "painting" is actually a canvas I painted orange, then pressed on vinyl images (like the ones that are so popular to put on the wall, right now.) I just LOVE how it turned out.
Liam's room:
His nursery was obviously Emalyn's. Classic Pooh theme. I debated back and forth about changing out the area rug, but we love it so much (and spent so much on it), I just can't do it.

It's actually hilarious how much I have protected this rug from sick kids...when I think of it, I just shake my head at myself. But I'd rather take care of it and have it last a long time (which it should) than have it smell or fall apart from stomach bile!! :)

More to come...again!
