My Little Girl's Room

*If you are visiting from the Bragfest, this is one of my very firsts posts and I thought it would be fun to share it again!*

"A little Girl's room should look like a little girl's room!"

This is what Amy over at Playing Sublimely said when she featured her daughters' darling room. In my humble opinion, truer words were never spoken! You can visit her blog Playing Sublimely to view the pictures but please, come back over here when you are done. Her blog, with her absolutely gorgeous home and thoughtful insights into life and faith, will draw you in and I may never see you again!

When you do return I want to Welcome you to
 MY daughter's room...

When we first toured our home, my husband innocently asked, "Which child gets the room with the window seat"? I looked at him like he was crazy and said, "ummm...our GIRL of course!"

Doesn't every girl wish she had a window seat? I know I did when I was a little girl! I knew that it would be the place where I could get lost in the world of Anne of Green Gables and dream of Raspberry Cordial and boys named Gilbert Blythe. Wasn't he dreamy?

Here's a closer look...

I made all of the window treatments and almost all of the pillows using this beautiful Yellow Cameo Toile fabric.

$80 worth of fabric went a LONG way!

This is the window creation I showed you a couple of days ago. I am loving how sweet it looks and Lauren only took the shutters off the wall 1 time!

And this is probably one of my favorite discoveries...

Did you know that you could use a window valance as a dust ruffle? I didn't either until I found this one and realized that it would be a perfect fit! A little bit of velcro and another ruffle on top and we were good to go!

 

 This beautiful dresser belonged to my mom and was in her room when she was a little girl herself! It has survived a fire, storage, rough teenagers and then 2 babies when I used it as a changing table. My mom has the rest of the set which Lauren will get when she is a little older.

Here are some details...

I L-O-V-E Love old books and will stack them anywhere I can! These belonged to my grandmother who so graciously passed down many of her treasures to us.

This darling bird lamp was the first thing I purchased when I began decorating Lauren's room. It is so sweet and it was a great jumping off point for the color pallette.

 

The rug was another great TJ Maxx find and it ties everything in beautifully. I love the touch of brown anchoring the room.

 

Rustic $5 frames and leftover fabric provides that extra French Country touch to the room.

The picture is a scene from Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice and was a gift from my sister. The little shelf holds 2 baby bonnets that belonged to my grandmothers. Are you seeing a trend here folks? I love Heirlooms!

Here's a closer look...

The hooks of the shelf are actually keys.

 And that baby cup?

 Well, that belonged to my Great-Grandmother who was born in 1897! The thimbles are also from a family collection.

These darling little pictures hung in my nursery as a baby and I could not wait to have them in my own little girl's room!

These baby gowns belonged to my grandmothers. I think it adds another little Southern touch to the room, don't you? Here is a closer look at one of them...

The wall color is one we have used throughout most of the house and it is my favorite shade of soft, buttery yellow. Simply adding some ribbon can take frames up a notch in their cute factor!

And, last but not least, it simply wouldn't be a Southern Girl's room, without her very own Sterling Silver baby cup!

Thank you for coming on this little tour with me! I look forward to showing you more of my home in the weeks to come!
