Papillon's Room

Did you want to see Papillon's Room?


I thought you might.


Here is the official blog tour.

I will refrain from saying which parts are my favorite, because pretty much I love everything in the room. So consider it all my favorite. Starting with her book nook.

A well stocked bookshelf for a not-yet-born little girl, if I do say so myself. Complete with many of the classics like Kippers Toy Box (of course), Madeline, Frog and Toad, If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, Curious George, Splat the Cat, Dick and Jane, and many many more.

This is the view as you come into the room. Note the wonderful glider rocker (a yardsale find) waiting to be reupholstered (tis super comfy despite the slightly dated fabric), the "Moses Basket" (aka amazingly portable bassinet type thing), the baby swing (another yardsale find) and the jungle animals around the window.

Also note the rather loud window AC unit which I anticipate Papillon will get so used to hearing that she will have trouble sleeping in the relative silence of anywhere else. Its like teaching your kid to fall asleep to a certain CD of lullabies; then they can't sleep without said lullabies. Only in this case, the lullabies are much more mechanical sounding. Oh well.

To the left as you walk in, is the front window / changing table stand (another yardsale find) fully stocked with diapers, wipes, burp clothes, blankets and more, with an alligator overhead, just for fun.

Then their is the armoire (a yardsale freebie, if you recall), fully (and I mean super-fully) stocked with baby clothes. Dresses, jackets, onsies, socks, hats, and everything else. Papillon has a ridiculous amount of clothes. It all fit perfectly in the wardrobe a week or so ago...then more clothes came in. You will note the recent additions sitting on top of the armoire. I figure this is the only time in her life all her clothes will be clean at once; so I just need her to get here and get some dirty so they will all look like they fit in the drawers again.

From inside the room, you can turn around to view the beautifulness of the jungle animals on the doors. Though jungle animals tends to be more of a boy-theme, who can resist the cuteness of monkey wall appliques? Not me. So Papillon's room is perhaps the first ever purple-jungle themed nursery.

Coming full circle (note the book nook on the left) we have her crib. Jungle sheets, jungle mobile, monkey wall applique watching over her....

...now we just need Papillon and the room will be complete.
