House Update: Baby Applesauce's Room

On Sunday we decided to FINALLY finish up Applesauce's room.  I haven't posted anything about what we've been doing so I have a lot to catch up on.  

Let's go back to where we started... all the way back to the day when we bought our house (two years ago this fall).  

 So this is what our house looked like when we bought it.  Ugh, that's a LOT of white paint. :-)  You can see railing of the stairs extends to the open area at the top of the stairs.  We decided we needed an extra bedroom upstairs so we closed that part in.

 This is how it used to look from the open area looking toward our bedroom.  (Look at how little Tommy was- 10 months).

 So back in APRIL, we started construction.  Well not WE but the people we hired.  Frame is up!

 Drywall too!

Now the paint! It really fits in well in the house, like there was always supposed to be a bedroom there. Wonderfully perfect.  

 So now it's a baby's room! We hope Applesauce likes it!

 Curtains from Target... because we don't know that other stores exist.  The trusty ol' boppy is from when Tommy was little.  She does have two new pink stuffed toys waiting for her in her crib that will be ALL HERS.  No hand-me-downs there!

We moved over all of Tommy's baby furniture.  Tommy got a new set.  We'll have to show you that in a future post.

 I made the pennant banner from different ideas on Pinterest.

 I found a couple of posters also on Pinterest that I totally copied and plan to hang on the wall somewhere.  For now they are sitting on the dresser.  You can see the Star piggy bank that a friend of mine got for Tommy.  We already had a blue pig piggy bank for him so now we can use the star for Applesauce.
Also I got a little hat rack when I was shopping on Saturday for all the headbands and hats that Applesauce will wear.  Whee!

This is the new view when you go to exit the room.  The closet is on the right.  I hope Applesauce can handle having a small closet for awhile.  

Another hand-me-down that worked out almost too perfectly is this calendar.  We received two calendars at Tommy's baby shower(s).  Again, we used the blue one (just like the piggy bank) and the yellow and purple one will be used for Applesauce! Nice! Crazy how well it matches.  I did NOT do that on purpose either. 

The star hanger is something I picked up at a resale shop while shopping on Saturday.  

Hope the baby likes Wi-Fi! 

So the final touch is that we have to move the Wi-Fi and router out of the baby's room and into a more open space.  As much as it really adds to the decor of the baby room, I will be so excited to get it out of there! :-)  

So that's what we've done so far.  We'll have only a few minor updates from here on out but we wanted to get all the big stuff done now.  Only 6.5 weeks to go!  Getting excited!
