MTV Cribs - Preschool Edition!

Katie has been in a big girl bed for a while now, but her room has been a work in progress. I think I finally have it finished...for now! I'll take you a tour and for documentation purposes, I'm detailing a lot of what's what...Just so I can remember down the road!

Here's the view from the door...Curtains and wall color "recycled" from her nursery. I purposely tried to find stuff so I could keep those the same. The bed, dresser, and night stand are from my first apartment my sophomore year in college.
 

And now a view from a corner...The green chair in the far corner was her present from Santa this past Christmas. She likes to read in it and hide behind it and she knows it came from Santa.
 

The Owl Bench! I love it. It is from Kirkland's and was a Christmas present to me from Grandma Jones! Curious George hangs out here all the time. I covered the bench with a pillow sham because her quilt set accidentally came with 3. I didn't have another pillow so I improvised.
 

This yellow bench and cubbie set was painted by Doug. It holds some of our go-to toys. On top is a blanket my dad had made for me shortly after Katie was born. It's a t-shirt quilt with poems that I wrote in 8th grade.
 

This piece is actually a dining room buffet but I've used it as her changing table. Now it holds some clothes and diapers and wipes. The monogram decal is one of my favorite things in the room!
 

This dresser holds most of her clothes. On the side of the dresser are her bows. Yes, I know that is a crazy amount of bows. They were a dollar each so don't judge me quite as harshly.
 

The Organic Bloom hand and footprint frames. Still can't decide how I like the way they turned out, but I love the frames and love the colors!
 

And finally the canvas. The. Canvas. One of my best friends, Jessica, made this for me. She is uber-talented and previously made one for Katie's nursery too. The scripture is from Proverbs 31, a passage I have always loved. After seeing something similar with this scripture on another website, I personalized and tweaked it a bit in hopes that Katie will feel worthy as a child of God in her heart. She IS worth far more than rubies.

Love, love her room! It's beautiful. I love the bench and all of the personal touches. I'm still not finished with Caroline or Lucy's rooms. I want to finalize both of them while I'm on maternity leave. Caroline also has personal artwork that will be decorating her room though.

I came back to see if you answered my question only to find out it never posted my comment. hmph.

LOVE her room. I'm so inspired. so much, in fact, that I'd like you to do the boys rooms too. Where did you get the decals of her initials. I needs me some of those.
