Avery's Room

I love it!
I have hesitated to post about it because I have been unable to capture the color of it perfectly due to lighting. But, you can trust me that it is the exact dusty rose color I desired.
 I knew I was going shabby chic all the way for her room! 

This bench, found in a thrift shop, was the piece that the entire room ended up being designed around.Because the bench had very distinct colors going on and her room was already painted in a bold color (Revival Rose by Dunn Edwards) I knew I needed to go neutral with the rest of the room. Two trips to an antique shop, a couple of purchases on Etsy and a handful of online purchases and this is what I got. 


Her bedding is white eyelet. 
The dust ruffle has two layers one in the eyelet 
and one in a white flowy organza.

It makes me very happy. I love sitting in there with her, praying for her and dreaming about her little life.

happy 1/2 birthday

WOW! Half a year has gone by and Avery is 6 months old!
She is fantastic. Long and lean. She giggles, sits up, goes in circles, wrinkles her nose, explores, loves her brother, daddy and mommy. She eats well, sleeps great and adjusts to new surrounding easily. 
She has won the hearts of her preschool teachers and has them wrapped around her little finger. 
Her brother is her favorite entertainment. He can make her laugh and laugh and laugh some more! She also LOVES a baby minnie mouse we got her on our trip to Disneyland last winter. 
We love her deeply and thank God daily for the blessing of our little butterfly.
