Inspired!

FINALLY I am inspired to do Molly's room. The chair was what did it for me! I love it so much, and I finally feel like the room needs to be a NEW room, not just Emma's old room with all her old stuff. The chair set the color palate (which is one I have secretly dreamed of doing) which is brightly colored and whimsical with lots of contrasting patterns for baby to be fascinated by. The repurposed fabric is working out perfectly. All I need to do is actually sew it, or rather, let my mom sew it. And I need to bring some of my furniture into this century. I had a few pieces that I had been saving that just didn't work in any of the other rooms. Well, they will work in THIS room, because I am allowed to be daring and whimsical in a baby's room. Who knows, maybe if hubby likes the room, he will trust me to brach out more in other areas of our home. I had a mirror that went ontop of the dresser that we gave away. The mirror itself was in good shape, and I know mirrors that large are expensive, so I didn't wanna give that up. Also the frame it was in, was beautiful.... just not for the mirror. I disassembled it and realized that the frame goes exactly with the baby furniture! I am painting it.... guess what color... WHITE! I am so predictable. I'm putting the frame up and making a 3D art piece out of it. It should be pretty cool when it's done. I'm also taking the old drawers that came out of the dresser and taking the fronts off to make a "Molly" plaque. I'm painting Emmas rocking chair with a more modern monogram E AND Im making strings of silhouette birds in different colors to tie the color palate together.

ALL that from one chair. I just love inspiration pieces! And the best part is... My hubby cant be mad at me for spending money because I don't need to spend a dime. Although I do need a lamp shade for the lamp that landed in that room and also I don't have any baskets to put under the changing table, so it looks very messy and cluttered right now... UGH cluttered is a four letter word. I hate looking at STUFF. Anyways that's my plan. I'll put up pictures showing the steps in all the DIY projects so if you like them, you can do them too!
