Molly's nursery

Finally.....a few pictures of Molly's room.  I have always loved pink, but after it was all done I wondered if maybe I should have toned the pink down a little!  Painting the room was just about the first thing we did, before I added everything else.....which happened to also be pink.  But now I love it.....it is probably my very favorite room in the house!  The color is Rosy Outlook by Sherwin Williams.  I like how it's got some substance but doesn't look like Pepto Bismol.

I bought the crib from a friend who was moving out of state and selling all of her kids' baby stuff.  We used a white crib for the boys that I was planning on using again, but my friend didn't charge me very much and I just couldn't pass it up.....I loved that it was so girly and sweet!  For the wall hangings, I just took the glass out of the frames, and I bought sheets of wrapping paper at the Paper Source.  All of the frames are a little taller than 12 inches, so I couldn't use 12X12 scrapbooking paper (my first idea).  Paper Source sells these sheets of wrapping paper for $3 or $4 per sheet (each sheet measures probably 2 feet by 3 feet).  Very expensive if you're using it to wrap a gift, but cheap if you're using it to decorate! 

I found this dresser and hutch on Craigslist.  And the blue polka dotted paper is another sheet from Paper Source.....I bought a bunch of them that day, not knowing what in the world I was going to do with them or which ones I'd end up using.    I just wrapped it around a piece of cardboard (one of the sides of a giant diaper box).  I love how it stands out a little and is just something other than pink and green.

Oops....I still hadn't filled that little green frame with a picture when I took this.   Oh well.  If I wait to take another picture of it, then I'm sure this post will really never get done!

The chair!  We originally had Drew's old glider in this spot, and I went searching on Craigslist one day a few months ago for a new glider for Drew's room (we had first bought a horribly uncomfortable rocking chair to replace his glider, but we just couldn't stand sitting in it anymore).  Anyway, I found this pink chair instead.  And the people selling it happened to live across the street from some friends (about 2 miles from our house).  It was meant to be!  I just love this thing.....it rocks back and forth and swivels around.  The boys love playing on it too.  See what I mean about adding pink to pink to more pink?

And two adorable blankets given to us by friends:

Changing table next to the closet (which I hardly ever use.....we bought this when Grant was born and we had a one-story house.  There is no way I'd bring Molly upstairs to her room just to change her diaper. Does anyone do this?).
