Savanna's room - my favorite room in the house!!

Happy baby loves her room! :)

The view when you enter her room. I didn't get a good pic of the rug, but you can see the corner of it here - it goes PERFECTLY with the room - found it at home depot!

The view looking at the changing table

The turtle behind the changing table - notice the amazing detail! I LOVE IT! Notice how amazingly real the grass looks, too.

One of the 3 large flowers on the walls.

The view over her crib.

The view looking at the window (we will eventually have a ceiling fan, but until then the stand up one works....). My mom made the quilt hanging on the back of the rocking chair. I found the rocking chair at walmart!

The PERFECT table! I couldn't pass it up - found it at www.companykids.com The vase and flowers are from Savanna's Aunt Angie - goes perfect with the room!

Kris' pile of stuff he still has yet to hang. he he!

Happy frog by the rocking chair - again, notice the amazing detail!

Well, since we bought this house nearly 5 years ago I have decorated one room... Joey's! The plain walls were definately beginning to get to me, so when I found out I was pregnant again, I got all excited about doing another nursery!! Then to find out it was a girl I got pictures of pink and floofy in my head! I couldn't wait! So the plans started... and got more and more advanced! After contacting a painter, he stood us up. Hmmm - strike one! So I called him back, and he never returned my call. SO we figured we would try Kris' cousin - he has a painting business. I really didn't want to go with family cause that always adds another level of business vs. personal, but I figured we'd try it. Well we made an appointment with him and go figure - he stood us up, too! I called him the next day and he apologized profusely - it really wasn't his fault, but I told him I had someone else in mind that I knew since Kris' cousin was so busy. He understood and told me he'd be there if the other person didn't work out.

Well the other guy is a guy who has 2 horses and he boards at the same barn I keep Olivia. He said he paints on the side and showed me a picture of a BEAUTIFUL mural he did. I made an appointment with him and he showed up! A big plus in his direction! I told him what I wanted to do, and he said it's totally doable. The more he painted the more talented I found out he was!! He was amazing!! You've got to check out the close ups of the pictures he painted! I told him I wanted green and pink stripes on the bottom, a chair rail 3 feet up, and light purple on the top with a boarder around the chair rail of grass with some turtles and/or frogs mixed in and a few large daisys on the wall. I was picturing like stick frogs/turtles and just big puffy looking daisys. I had no clue how lifelike he would make everything! I SWEAR I will NEVER re-paint this room! It's just too amazing! And he barely charged anything at all - I was amazed at how cheap it was!

Also, Kris put in the pergo floor and the chair-rail all by himself! I was so impressed. I was nervous when he said he would do the floor himself, but he got it done in one day and my jaw dropped when I saw it! He did such an amazing job! All in all we got an amazing room - yea it cost some money, but I love it! And I'm sure Savanna will grow to appreciate it! My next big project in this house will be to re-do our drab living room.........
