Still pulling Ellie's room together...








My grandfather built this solid cherry bed and bedside tables for my mom when she was a little girl. When I was a little girl, my sister's and I slept in it. Now my daughters will sleep in it. My mom made 1/3 of the bedskirt and is going to mail the rest of it to me when she finishes it. Mom also gave me her dressing table/vanity. I'm going to paint the top and have someone make a skirt for it eventually. The chair I put with the table was Keith's grandma's chair (Nana). I covered it in a green polka dot print and with the leftover material, I matted 2 pictures and hung them on the wall. The little white and green pillow on the bed says... "Once upon a time". How fitting for this little princess room. When we have company, this will serve as our guest room. I wanted Ellie's room to be a little more sophisticated so I won't have to change it as she gets older. Eventually, I'll move Emma upstairs and the downstairs bedroom will be the guest room.

Visit with the Grimm's. We finally got to meet Annie! What a doll!



























Visit with Grama and Poppy!
