And then this is the back: ( I absolutely LOVE the flower pattern that the quilter did for me!!)
Claire loves it, of course :) (Yeah, her PJ's aren't buttoned up yet...we have power struggles when it comes to getting dressed!)
And then here's her room!!! Remember from a post a million years ago, how I needed her nursery to match this painting?? (click here if you don't remember) (Hence the french toile and the strange baby nursery colors?) Well, now it does!
This is the south wall. I painted her room a cream color, added the red stripe there in the corner, and then freehand painted a flourish up the wall.
Then, on the opposite wall, I painted another stripe kitty corner to the first one, and painted a flourish to match, but this time going down the wall. Jordan recovered this "DI special" glider and painted it (a million years ago...before Claire was born). We then put up the pictures and the fabric flowers.
In the middle of the pictures is a framed mirror in which I etched her name. It turned out fabulous! (Jordan's idea :)
And, struggling to figure out what to put above and below that framed mirror, I finally decided to make some fabric flowers after seeing some at Material Girls. They were really easy, and it helps the quilt and bedskirt all tie together!

I love it! I wish I had an ounce of your creativity and craftiness. It looks great and I love that it's not too babyish. Very chic!
Oh, by the way, you probably don't even know who I am. I was friends with Jordan in high school and my husband's cousin, Jay, is married to Heather who I gather is your sister? We don't really ever see them, but I check out her blog once in a while. Small world. Anyway, I found your blog through Facebook and just had to comment on this gorgeous baby room and let you know that Claire is absolutely adorable!
love love love it! you are so creative. i'm dead serious when i say i want you to decorate mt house!
Wow. Amazing. Being a stay-at-home mom you have a lot of time on your hands:)
It is gorgeous. My winnie the pooh room pales in comparison, but I have never really been that creative. There are so many neat details you have in there, and now you'll remember it forever!
I love it!!!!! And I totally might copy you if I have a girl... and no one will know unless they read this or I tell them :) so don't worry, you'll get the credit either way. And when you come to decorate Becca's house you can do mine too- I just live down the street!
SOoooooooOOOO CUTE!!
I love it, you did a great job. I can't wait until I have my own house to do that with!! I need a cute little girl too!!!
Love it! I'm glad we have been getting to know eachother better these last couple of weeks. Too bad I'm moving next week. LAME! We'll have to keep in touch!
WOW this looks great! Almost as good as a diet coke with chocolate!
newie! so well worth the wait! it is darling! i love the flowers and quilt, sooooo cute!!!! I am so impressed. I am sad I can't do a nursery for this baby since I have two kids occupying the other rooms. Oh well, I guess by the 3rd I should not stress so much.
