Sisters’ Room Makeover with The Land of Nod | Part 1

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Today I’m sharing some of the BEFORE images from Zoe + Baby Girl No. 2’s recent room makeover and details on my collaboration with The Land of Nod! We’ve been living in our little early 20th century, 1,100 square foot farmhouse for just over a year now. We’re nestled in the center of the small town of Purcellville, Virginia and we just love calling this place our home!

Since moving in last October, we’ve slowly but surely been working on making our house a home. Some new pieces, some DIY creations, lots of found treasures. The process has been incredibly rewarding; I had only ever “decorated” my own bedroom or a dorm room before. For awhile now, I’ve felt content with our downstairs. It’s cozy and full (one day we’ll repaint, but for now, the color is bearable). Our upstairs, however, has been sorely neglected…mostly because company is never up there, and it’s been the thing I’ve had to let go of. Upstairs is the home of Zoe’s tiny little bedroom, our bedroom, the guest room, and a full bath. This past summer our guest room was made presentable – we bought a bed, a rug, and a side table, and I hung a big empty picture frame on the wall – when my brother-in-law stayed with us a few months. But that’s pretty much the sum of what’s been done with the second floor. Zoe was still sleeping in her honey-colored crib (snagged at the thrift store), and there were no decorations or even toys in her room. She really only slept in there.

With baby number 2’s impending arrival (my due date is December 20), a few months ago I was feeling particularly motivated to get the girls’ room in tip-top shape. I wanted the girls to have a place that was their own…a place in which they could create, imagine, and play for years to come! So, I reached out to one of my favorite kids’ stores – The Land of Nod – about including some of their products in the sisters’ new room! They jumped at the opportunity, Sisters’ Room Makeover was born, and the planning began! I pinned tons of images, and continued to collect treasures – mostly vintage – for their room. After things slowed down for me in early December, I invited my mom to come help with the makeover! I knew that at 8 months pregnant and with an 18-month-old toddling about, I would need the help! She was a lifesaver and a huge blessing! Thanks mom!

Their bedroom is approximately 72 square feet (which makes it sound bigger than it is – it’s about 8′ x 9′). It’s tiny, and perfect for my two littles (one of whom will be sleeping with us for several months….once she finally decides to join us in the outside world). I knew I wanted to keep things simple, bright, and not too girly. And that’s just what we did. With a few coats of paint, some furniture, decorations for the wall, and a collection of our favorite toys, their room is finished and we’re ready for baby to join us! The rest of the details, including all the AFTER images, will be on the blog tomorrow!

P.S. Please forgive the quality of these photos; I’m still learning how to turn on my camera, so taking these photos was a challenge. ha!
