Annie's Room

"Oh Hello!  Come on in!  I am sorry I didn't see you I was just beautifying....well, come on, come in!"

Okay, I can't make it through the whole post that way so I am changing back to me :)

   When I was pregnant with Annie I didn't know if I was having a girl or a boy so my husband painted one room pink & one room blue.  I really wanted the girl's room pink & green so he just painted the closet bright green & we took off from there...but there is no way I am showing you the closet. :)

   So, our big green splash is this dresser, which my parents got at an auction for 10 dollars & I painted it pink & then green & then sanded it like crazy!!!

Auntie Cake made the butterfly mobile above it! 

 It comes in pretty handy to be her sister :)

And she made the candy garland which graces the mirror.

   Apparently, I have no discernment in how many things you can hang on the ceiling.  The chandelier was a cheap brass one from Home Depot (20 bucks) that I attacked with spray paint & Christmas decorations.

   The curtains that I loved didn't come in a bright enough green so this is when I bought my sewing machine.  It is amazing how much you appreciate things when you make them!  I actually made her bed spread & many of the pillows too.  If you knew me...you would be VERY surprised I pulled it off.

I mean VERY surprised :)

Behind Annie's door is her Secret Butterfly Garden. (Dollar Tree)  Shhhh...don't tell anyone :)

   Her Aunt Tricia gave out green donkey shoes to her wedding party when she got married & it was the perfect color to match Annie's room, so even though we don't believe in luck, we love to remember that fun day.

Now this side is a bit of a mess, but a girl has to stash her STUFF somewhere.

So what does a 5 year old girl stash?

Money in her ballerina pig,

...little glass animals, and High School Musical junk everywhere!

I just love these pictures from her first birthday :)

And her shell jar will get one more shell on our trip to

Orange Beach, Alabama this summer.

And any girl who has an Auntie Cake...has a bunny.

Again, I couldn't resist hanging more...who could?!  I mean once you see these poms all over...you NEED them!

I got her vanity at a garage sale for just 8 dollars! 

Wel,l I hope you enjoyed your visit!  And remember...when you are giving tours...swing by and invite me!!!  Please!!!

Thanks for coming!
