Looking back at old e-mail drafts (where I file my notes and thoughts), I found the plans for moving Zach into his new room, and for decorating Olivia-to-Be's room. The original notes were posted in Feb 2007. Here's the follow-up: Notes from a year later:
* I ended up getting two dark brown window valences from Target. I glued on pink flowers, and one valence went above the window; the other became a bedskirt for the crib, since only one side shows.
* The light-blocking beige curtains don't really block light, but they look okay.
* I painted a canvas of pink flowers on a heart-shaped tree branch.
* In theory, the floral night light on the dresser is a cute addition. Since it only cost $10 at Hobby Lobby, I got nervous that it wasn't safe enough to be left on all night. So, mostly it looks cute.
* We switched out the framed nursery rhymes for more "girly" rhymes: Little Bo Peep replaced Little Boy Blue, but Jack and Jill remain over the changing table.
* We did get the Shabby Chic rug for the floor.
* Cute butterfly mobile from Pottery Barn Kids hangs above the crib.
* Big flowers from Pottery Barn Kids hang above the changing table.
* Pink and brown "things" sit on the shelves above the rocking chair: a vase, a cute card, a bird from Theresa.
* Now, in the book rack, the Olivia books dominate the shelves. We have the first book, Forms a Band, and Helps with Christmas. If you haven't seen them, you must check them out!
All was inspired by the colors on the Boppy cover. So much for the thought that Zach's neutral stars and gingham could be reused!
