Fit For A Princess

Almost eight months ago we began laying plans for decorating Ava's bedroom. The three people that read my blog know quite well that Ava is our one-year-old grand-daughter. Decorating the upstairs bedrooms has been such fun - making plans, selecting fabrics and paint colors, and putting final touches - all of which reflect the unique personalities of the kids.

Ava's room is an explosion of pink, lime green, and all things girlie. After two boys I was ready to decorate for a little girl. It couldn't have been accomplished without an incredible team of talented professionals: Denise Timmins (designer/decorator), Susie Spencer (seamstress), Mike Shepard (faux painter), Carl Dann (painter), Wayne Nored (built-in bookcase), AAA Upholstery (chair), and many more.

With the decorating nearly complete, here are a few sneak peeks...

Every princess needs a vanity for primping






I hope as Ava grows she comes to realize how very loved she is. Although her heart and home is with Mom, Dad and her brothers, Ava always has a special place to call her own when she comes to visit her Mimi and Bumpa :)

Oh MY! It turned out so beautiful. The perfect place for a perfect princess. Ava is such a lucky little girl to have you as her Mimi.

I want to live there! This reminds me so much of the pink and white room I shared with my sister. It's still my favorite color!

Can I sleep over too? I'm sure Ava wouldn't mind sharing that large bed with her mommy:) Thank you so much for everything that you and Bumpa do for me, Jason and our babies.

It's absolutely breathtaking. Every detail is perfect. Makes me want to be a little girl again and have a room just like that.
