Project Grace's Room

I have been having a lot of fun the past couple of weeks thinking about what our baby's room is going to look like. If you know me, you know I like to decorate with bold colors and due to the small size of our house decided to keep the baby's room along those same lines. Her room will be seen by everyone who walks in our house and I didn't want a princess room. So I started looking around for bedding sets. To see one that I really like and what the room looked like a month ago you can refer to a previous post. Anyway, I decided it is not worth the money to get a crib set when I want to make curtains and a bed skirt on my own, I don't want to use a bumper and the quilt isn't practical. So for all the money the only thing I would use would be a crib sheet. Not worth it. I did end up registering for accessories from Target that are part of the set I like and picked fabrics and made a few homemade decorations to go with it. So the set I like inspired what the room will look like.

As far as furniture in the room goes we are keeping the couch and bookshelf that are already in there. My dad is making us a crib (I can't wait until that is done) and we are going to purchase a dresser. I'll probably make a few pillow covers for the couch out of curtain fabric. Finally, we are planning on moving the TV out of the room.

Here is the picture frame I made to go with the jewelry box I made about a week ago. Eventually, I want to have lots of animal, letter and number stuff in the room so the decorations are also educational.

The curtains will cover the whole window and be laid out like this picture with about the same proportions of each type of fabric.

Here is a close up of the fabrics. Pretty much anything red, blue, limish green, yellow, or brown will go with these colors. We held up about 25 different fabrics to these fabrics and it all looked great. It should make it so nothing clashes too much in the room.

Here is the bookshelf with bins and room for toys, books, and other random stuff babies need.

That's all I have for now. I'll keep you faithful readers updated as the room gets more and more put together. For the next several weeks the baby's room will be a sewing room as I not only bought fabric for her room but have fabric for a few other projects non baby related as well. So don't expect many updates soon:)
