Then and Now: Averie's Room Edition

We have been super busy at our house trying to get everything guest ready for Thanksgiving and I am happy to report that a TON of work has been completed! All the big stuff at least, which makes the place livable, which makes me pretty excited. The smaller stuff on our to-do lists can wait until we've got a little more cash to throw around. I am probably the most proud of Averie's room... let's check it out!

 
Here's her closet BEFORE
 
 
Here is her closet in PROGRESS. We still have to add a bi-fold door, and I have a little basket next to her closet to put all the extra hangers in... I'm thinking we may need to add a 3rd shelf... This girl has a TON of clothes.
 
 
Here is her main wall BEFORE
 
 
 
And her main wall AFTER! I am so proud of my bright stripe! I love that it ties in with her original bedding from her first room, and I love how her crib pops out against the grey walls! This is my favorite view of her room.
 

Here is the corner of windows BEFORE
 
The corner wall in PROGRESS! I still need to make custom curtains for her room and add some more artwork around her name. Her monthy picture bear loves all the space to chill.
 
Here is the only uninterrupted wall in her room...
 
 
 Here it is AFTER! I only classify this as after because the things on these shelves are forever moving.
 
Here's a close up of her nook:
She's got all her hair accessories (organized into hats and bows of course!), Dr Seuss books (my fave) a piggy bank bear/swear jar I made her, more blankets from loved ones, hygiene items, a muffin I made her so Mason can be a part of her room, and a gorgeous lamp that went with her original bedding. Of course we have Harbor the cat modeling how well the changing table works.
 
 The window wall from another angle BEFORE
 
The window AFTER! These things will also change out as time goes on, but I love all her little nooks. These are mostly gifts from Averie's loved ones...
 
Here's a close up of her nook shelf:
 
A picture frame, princess books, a customized piggy bank, Minnie ears, a lemur, tiny uggs, blankets from some special ladies, and TONS of hand me down books from her daddy's childhood. So much love and history on one shelf!
 
I'm pretty much obsessed, and I never thought I could embrace pink! Her room is so fun, I can be found in there re-arranging and playing around at any given time. I wish I could just design kids rooms for a living, that would be the best!
