Haven's New Room

Haven moved upstairs last weekend into her new room. She loves her room and we are so glad. We have a cute white toddler bed that will move in there as soon as she(we) is ready. We noticed that lots of her existing stuff had polka dots, so we decided that should be the theme for now. I free handed 5 different colors of polka dots around the room and they turned out pretty cute. The original plan was to paint the whole room the lightest green color, but once I put the colors on the wall the existing beige didn't look so bad. Our inspiration pieces were her growth chart that we brought up from the nursery and the Eric Carle quilt my mom made for Haven. We added white blinds, book shelves, painted the drawers and toy box we already had, and added some accents. The chalkboard was in my room when I was little. The drawers(cabinet thingy) is actually from my great grandparent's house. Here is a picture of my great-grandpaw McCall sitting beside the piece in the 50s. I had it in my room growing up for a while.


The frame with hairbows came from my grandparent's house and my mom had it for years. I took a few years ago and I think it finally found the perfect spot in Haven's room for her bows and pins from our travel. We have bought the pins(buttons) or have been given them as we have traveled with her over the past 2 years. She has one from the Cabot cheese factory and even Yellowstone. I can't wait to see how her collection of 10 or so now will grow over the years.
