Rearranging Rooms

Milla passed down her pastel nursery decor and went a little more bold and funky. Again, with both of the girls rooms we were working around blue carpet and basement ceiling tiles...but we were happy about how the way things turned out.
This is Milla's Room:


She loves saying that her room looks like the SUNSHINE!! She will point to anything yellow and say "Sunshine"!! We found the chair at a local antique shop by us for $38 and had it recovered by our favorite upholstery man--(I have mentioned him before...he is awesome...so sweet and kind... and very reasonable. Scottie Abercrombie....770-271-1392) He covered the chair and made 3 throw pillows....found the fabric at a neat site called http://www.tonicliving.com/



Brandon worked a miracle on this dresser--it was old, brown, and worn out...but, he sanded it, painted it yellow, and used circular-wooden-white knobs. He also restored the mirror by cleaning, sanding and painting it---his parents had used it in his nursery as a baby!! We covered a lampshade with some leftover fabric and Brandon hung it from the ceiling like a chandelier.
Pretty picture of a Dahlia to give the room a POP of hot pink!!! For some reason it was hard to find a simple white, wooden frame that wasn't really expensive. A lot of frames are made of plastic now. We went to Good Will and found this frame--took the picture out and Brandon painted it white...just what we wanted for $5.99!

Fruits of the Spirit


This part of Milla's room stayed the same!!
Her is Faith's Room (right next door to Milla's):


Brandon went out in the canoe and looked on the shore of the lake to find this cool piece of drift wood...he then painted it white and hung it with fishing wire--Pretty! Since Milla is still sleeping in her crib--my friend from work Denise so kindly let us borrow her crib that is exactly the same as the one we have!!


The rocker that Grandma Dunnington passed down to us (she used it to rock me!!)....(also covered by Scottie Abercrombie--2 years ago)
