Brenna's New "Big Girl" Room

Well, I guess it's official. No more bottles, diapers, pacifiers, or cribs. Brenna's not our baby girl anymore, she's our big girl! And getting bigger by the minutes (at least it feels that way, it's like she grows an inch a week!) So, after much deliberation we converted her crib to a full sized bed. Which meant, time to decorate!

Decorating her new room was almost as much fun as decorating her play room! Of course, when given a choice, Brenna wanted her room to be pink. I considered painting, which I would love to do, but since we don't really think we'll be here for more than a few years, I wanted to keep things neutral. One day I'll have a house that I can paint every room the color that I want. Until then, neutral always helps the resale! So with a pink pallet, I went off in search of the key element, the bed. I narrowed it down to 3 choices, which I emailed to my Mom and best friend. My mom chose #1, Jodi chose #2, therefore I bought #3 (ha! it just turned out that way.....) After mixing and matching, I think the final product came out pretty good. Since we didn't paint, I made an attempt to accent one wall with a border, which I thought helped break things up alittle.

Just as a reminder, here's the "Before" pictures of Brenna's nursery.

And now for the "After" pictures of Brenna's new Big Girl room!

Brenna seems to like it and made the transition with no problems. She snoozed in her new bed all night the first night!
