The Rooms

With my mom's help, I was able to get the kids' rooms (pretty much) finished!

Caroline's old room, became Miles's room. Caroline moved into the room next door. I was worried she might be confused by this, but she didn't miss a beat!

Caroline would love to give you the tour of her new room :)

She graciously gave her old crib to her baby brother, and she is sleeping in the new one.

This bed was mine when I was a little girl! It has a canopy, too, but we are waiting until she is a little bit older before we put that on. Since she hasn't graduated to the big bed yet, I am using it as our changing area (as you can see in the pic)

Rather than buy her a dresser, I got this little cube thing from Target. We have one in our playroom, too. Love it!

Here is Baby Miles's room (so far).

It still feels a little bare, so I hope to add a few more little decor items here and there.

I decided to fore go the cute puffy bumpers and quilt altogether this time. We ended up taking Caroline's bumpers off after only a couple of months, and exchanging them for the breathable mesh ones. Although they are not as cute, I have decided that practicality wins with baby #2 :)
The letters spelling out his name are a whole story of their own. I decided I would buy the unfinished letter from Michael's and paint them myself. I chose red (which in hind sight was random, and a big mistake) I was also determined to hang them with ribbon, since that's what I did for Caroline's. I wanted them to look cute! Anyway, in the end, they looked ridiculous. The red was too bright, and didn't match anything, and the ribbon looked girly. So, my mom was generous enough to spring for the prefinished letters from Pottery Barn :) Thanks Mimi!

These prints are vintage Baylor Football Program covers from the 40's, 50's, and 60's. I found them in a calendar at Whole Foods (of all places?). They were the inspiration for our football themed room.
Found this lamp 50% off at Hobby Lobby, and thought it was perfect!
I sure hope Miles likes football... ;)
