This post is obviously long overdue, but I couldn't let any more time go by without posting pictures of this precious room.
We are so very lucky to have such wonderful people in our lives who contributed to this room. Josh's parents purchased our crib, and my parents purchased our dresser. The recliner is my dad's favorite chair that he is so kindly letting us borrow while we live here. We just added the slipcover to make it match. The nightstand was a $10 DI item that we refinished, and the shelves were from a craft store that we just spray painted. I also painted the different frames throughout the room. The owls were a fun project I did while I was pregnant. They are covered with the same fabrics that are in all of the bedding pieces. I made the rug - it turned out cute, but if I would have known it would take about 15 hours total to make, I probably would have just bought one. However, it did keep me busy during downtime when we were waiting for miss Stella to get here. Mostly though, we owe a lot of thanks to my mom. She made all of the bedding, the pillow, the two quilts, and the runner on the dresser. She put countless hours of work into this room, and even went through the pain and torture of creating her own pattern based on a pottery barn quilt (since we didn't want to spend that much money, and ours turned out much cuter.)

Before Stella was born and once this room was complete, Josh and I would often go sit in this room and imagine our new baby girl and the way our lives would change. We didn't know it then, but we would soon be given this sweet angel who we love more than we ever could have dreamed.
I love this room.
But even more, I love the baby who sleeps in it.
