Sophia’s “Big-Girl” Room Mood Board

June 24, 2010

So we close on our house on thursday and are renting back from our buyers for 2 weeks before we move into our new house! So besides packing up the house i’ve been trying to develop a concept for each room so that when we move in we have some sort of game plan and can get things “done” before the baby arrives 4 weeks later! (if i actually last!) 


i’ve been having tons of contractions. more painful than with sophia and i can usually time them!! ::panic mode::  the other day… every time i stood up i would have one so i forced myself to just sit…hardest thing i could do! but i did finally get around to going through some junk drawers. definitely don’t want to move trash with us. 

here’s what i’ve come up with so far for Sophia’s room in the new house. i’ll keep you posted on the updates and share all the fun diy projects we do in her space!

    That’s going to be dreamy and adorable. I think you should stick with the chandelier light. It’s so cute, girly and whimsical which all say “big girl” to me!

    Looks like it’s going to be a lovely space for your little girl!

    {Love “Ballet Slipper” – I’m actually planning on painting a few pieces of furniture in that shade in the next week.}

    natalie! this is adorable. I’m sure she is just going to LOVE it. when i was little my mom would let me pick fresh flowers (from either the grocery store or wild ones.. we live on 8 acres) so i’d have a new bouquet each week. i thought it was the coolest thing ever :) and its a great memory. also, i’d stick with the chandelier too.

    side note: i love your signature. was it designed with your blog design or seperately? :) thanks!!

    I love the color scheme! That’s pretty much the exact color scheme of my baby’s room!

    When did your contractions start with your first? I’m due in 6 days and am still without any labor signs…

    Good luck with your move. Her room is going to turn out AWESOME. My favorite inspiration photo is the one with the two green nightstands and purple bed in front of the window. Super cute.
