Lady Evelyn's Room

Oh, the brown trim!  This was a shot of Evelyn's room before we moved in.  We were excited for her to just have her own room because we sold our old house when she was 3 weeks old and she'd been sharing a bedroom with us in our rental until we bought this house when she was 7 months old.  For our sake and her sake, she needed her own space!  Not a big room, but we have 4 bedrooms, so there are definitely no complaints here.  It has one window and I felt that it should stay a light color.  So I painted the trim (white of course), painted the walls light gray (Universal Gray by Glidden), added a valance.

Getting ready for painting trim and walls.  Had to do these stages quickly because the thought of Evelyn camping out in our room in a pack n play took me back to those rough nights in our apartment when we shared a room!



Making the valance.  Can't be too difficult, right?  I can't sew, but I can staple the heck out of anything!
 
 
After!












 

 Love it!
