Mission Accomplished!

After many trips to Joann's Fabrics in Nashville, late nights behind the sewing machine and much time spent figuring out our power drill, I have officially completed Emmy's Nursery (well, mostly)!! I still have her crib quilt to make--that'll be a project for next week; and I still need to hang the mirror over her dresser, but I need my hubby's big muscles for that one. Otherwise, I would say this mission is accomplished! Below are some pictures that I just took before the sun set:


View from the doorway.


A big shout-out to my new friends at Joann's Fabrics--they hooked me up with these beautiful fabrics at 40% off!


I opted for pillows which we can use for her toddler bed since crib bumpers are a SIDS risk.


Curtains were a first for me (as were the pillows)...They were actually really easy to make so long as I measured properly :-P!


Where I am sure we will spent many, many hours cuddling. :-)


The ruffled pink pillow that started all of the madness :-P.




My friend, Lindsey, lovingly hand-painted the letters over Emmy's closet door!
