Baby Room

Well, we are past due now. I feel like part one of the pending birth story is due, but that will be another post. I keep walking past Shim's room, wondering when I will know if I am putting a little boy or girl in that crib. We are anxiously waiting, but knowing how stubborn Kent and I are, it is no wonder our baby is still enjoying that warm place in my belly.

Since I can't present Shim yet, I can at least show off Shim's space. For years I have loved Winnie-the-Pooh, not the Disney version, but the original version by A.A. Milne. That beloved Pooh and his friends have a special place in my heart. When we moved into our home in April I knew exactly where Shim's room would be, it would be the room that overlooked the Heron reserve we live on. It looks like we live in the forest, sort of like Pooh bears 100 Akre woods. This became my inspiration. I didn't want to tell people that the room was going to be inspired by Pooh as I knew I would get SO much stuff, and I already had enough. Plus I am a classic Pooh girl only. I decided that I wanted to make it look like the forest that Pooh and his friends live in. I wanted clouds on the ceiling, a forest on the walls and the rug I wanted to find needed to look like grass. It took some time to gather everything, but I am so pleased with how it turned out. It is just pure happiness.



















Kent and I found a woman on Craigslist who came to the house and painted the clouds, tree and characters. I just love them. I originally only wanted Pooh, the tree and the clouds, but Kent thought that Pooh needed his friends so they are sort of hidden around the room. I love the chair that Kent picked out as it is functional, comfortable and cool looking at the same time.

Now all we need is to have a baby (-:
