Big Girl Room

As I mentioned before, we just moved into our new house (at least for the time being). And I'm slowly but surely getting things put together. Cora's room is mostly done aside from some projects I want to do to it.

I have to say, she has a huge room with some great characteristics. Which is great! That way I can keep all her toys in there and she still has plenty of room. And there can even be room for a sibling...in the future. :)

She also has a new big girl bed and a matching dresser. I am soo blessed that she loves her new bed and sleeps in it all night long. I was a little nervous about her falling out of it since it's so high off the ground compared to her toddler bed, but she has yet to do that, and she usually stays on the one side of the bed. Anyways, here are pictures of her new room. :)


I want to get longer curtains in a different colors. And the table was something I found in the closet here. It was rusted and black, so I spray painted it ivory.

There's a little nook that I'm keeping her toys, but make it a reading nook at some point.

I also want to put something above her bed, not sure what just yet. So for now there's a purple butterfly.


I just love this dresser too!

Home Sweet Home

The seasons are changing and I'm not just talking about spring time. We are FINALLY getting settled down in a new house. After the move back from Colorado, I have just been exhausted. Not just physically, but mentally. It's hard to just relax and not think about where we'll be in a year. Cause we just might be moving again! The house we're in is temporary, for at least a year. And the house we own we're renting out and can hopefully sell it and get it out of our hair. And then maybe we can buy a new house in a more permanent place after that. We'll see, things keep changing on us! So, I'm trying really hard to think of this place as home, if only for a little while.

It's a cute house that is older and could use some updating, but I love the character of it. I want to make it comfortable and appealing to us without spending lots of money. It is a rental after all but the landlord is super easy going with improvements we want to do. So I'll probably do a little painting and plant some flowers. Once I get everything put in it's place, and boxes broken down, I'll post some pictures of the new place. :)

In the meantime, here's a couple pics of my little cutie enjoying a nice spring afternoon in the backyard.
