Isla's room!!

I've been meaning to post pictures of Isla's room for eight months now. Eight months. What is wrong with me?! I'm in love with her room and can't believe I've put off sharing pictures of it! So here it is!! 

Here's a panoramic shot of her room (she's sitting in her crib too!) Notice that there are no curtains on the window. I love curtains. I feel like they add to a room and just make any room look better. But my husband is in the military. I don't know how many houses we will live in or how big the windows will be or how many windows we'll have so I hate to get curtains that fit our current windows but won't fit any other windows. Sounds a little silly but that's how I feel. The only windows in my house with curtains are the windows in the living room. They don't even fit the windows, I had to turn them sideways, cut them, and sew them up to make them fit. I don't want to have to do that for every house we live in! 

Anyways...

I'm super proud of this wall arrangement! haha I used scraps of fabric that my mom sent me and scraps that I had at home. I got the hoops at Hobby Lobby. I also found the letters there and used Mod Podge to adhere scrapbook paper to them. Now that I'm looking at the picture I can see that the letters are a little crooked. I hung them up while 35 weeks pregnant--giant belly in the way of doing anything...I think it's ok that they're a little crooked! haha I'll fix them later! 

The mobile was Caden's :) so was the mesh crib bumper! 

Her sheets. I adore them.

Her bed skirt looks like a tiny ballerina's skirt. I love it so much! 

I love the sunshine picture. The bins on Caden's old changing table hold extra blankets, adorable shoes that might never fit her little chubby feet, and various baby items. I wrapped plain old bins in fabric to make them pretty! Nathaniel got Isla the Minnie Mouse when she was four months old. Mimi and Papa got her the Ariel at Disneyland! 

This dresser was my dad's when he was a kid and then it was mine when I was little. Caden uses a dresser that came with mine and Nathaniel's bedroom set but Isla uses my old one. I'm glad it's going to good use! The bear was made by Nathaniel at Build A Bear when Isla was two months old. The pink bin holds all her hair bows and then there's the essential humidifier. 

She needs more hair bows!! :) 

Nathaniel painted Caden and Isla shelves for their rooms. Caden's is red, to match his car themed room (cars, trucks, trains, airplanes) and Isla's is pink, to match all that girliness happening in there. At my baby shower my friend had all these adorable jars sitting on the tables and I took a few home. Soooo cute! I added the fake flowers. 

I framed Disney princess pictures from an old calendar and hung them up in her room. I LOVE them. Only problem: the glare is so bad on those frames. That's why this picture isn't very good. I can't get too close or else all you see is me in the reflection. Makes me a little sad. Starting at the top left and going clockwise: Cinderella and Prince Charming; Beauty and the Beast; Aurora and Prince Phillip; and Ariel and Prince Eric. Yes, I know all of their names. No, I am not ashamed. (Supposedly Prince Charming's name is Florian and the Beast's name is Adam. However, these little tidbits aren't included in the original movies soooo...don't know what to believe about that! haha)

This is on Isla's door. Anyone recognize this? :) 

I always said that if I had a little girl I would do her room on Strawberry Shortcake. The old Strawberry Shortcake. Not the new, super cartoony Strawberry Shortcake. I obviously changed my mind and went for a super girly and flowery theme but included my childhood dream. This hoop hangs on the wall by her closet. Speaking of which...

The boxes are full of clothes that she doesn't fit in. The basket has clothes that don't fit her yet but don't fit in the dresser. She outgrew the swing and bouncy seat. I'm about to bring the giraffe toy out because she's just about ready for it! Her old car seat is in there too. We have basically zero storage space in this house and there's no garage so everything gets crammed into tiny closets.

Most of her clothes are in the dresser but a few things are hanging up. 

I made these dividers out of scrapbook paper. I've already put away newborn through 6-9 months dividers :( she's growing way too fast! 

So that's Isla's room! As usual, pictures don't do it justice but I love her room. If I had it my way, the room I share with Nathaniel would look just like hers. Instead we have camouflage sheets.
