HC's Big Girl Room Transformation

Our former home office has now become Hannah Claire's big girl room. It has been a very gradual process. We cleaned out the room last year when we had our big yard sale but we have been in no rush to move her upstairs. Well, with Wyatt on the way we had a huge reason to get the new room ready. We ordered some furniture and decided to pink up the room while HC was in Scottsboro one weekend in February. We caught her response on camera once she returned. She was very excited!

She even got to help pull the blue painters tape. She was a huge help!

The room stayed like this for a while until the furniture finally came in. It was delivered while HC was at school so we were able to see her reaction when she got home.

Naturally any child's first response should be to check out the drawers.

She then tried out the bed.

We had ordered some bedding for Hannah Claire but it took a little longer to come in. She started sleeping upstairs before it ever arrived and has done a fantastic job! The day the new bedding arrived I was on cloud nine. Of course when HC came in she was looking for her "pink bed". The pink bed would be the pink blanket from Target she had been using. I wanted to cry since I had stressed and spent more than the $30 the pink blanket cost on this beautiful bedding and she couldn't have cared less. Once she realized the pink blanket was underneath the new bedding she was very excited.

We have gradually added other things to the room. It is done for now. We still need some stuff on the walls but I am in no rush. I will just get things as I find them. Here are some of the complete for now pictures.

HC's bookshelf that Daddy painted.

The second bureau (the first was damaged and we had to wait for several extra weeks on this one).

Toy storage that Daddy painted for HC's room.

I love Hannah Claire's bathroom. It is so functional and cute. We have her measuring stick from her nursery.

All little girls need their hair bows handy.

Where the princess gets ready each morning.

I love her shower curtain! We found this at Target.com. Once I got it in our friend Melissa at www.boutiqueme.net monogrammed it for us. It turned out super cute!

I also got a little crafty and painted this hook from HC's nursery. It was a light baby pink with polka-dots but didn't go with the new look. It actually turned out pretty good, even if I do say so myself.

It was so much fun getting this ready for Hannah Claire and she really does enjoy playing and sleeping in her room. That is all a mommy can ask for.
