I know most everyone that reads this uses Google Reader and I don't think Claire's post ended up there this time when it was actually finished. It was accidentally posted a month or two ago and went to Reader then, so I have a feeling it didn't put it there again.
If you missed it, then here it is:

Claire's New Room
I started this post almost 2 months ago. We were making great headway in Claire's room for a couple weeks and then it just turned into a storage unit again and absolutely no work was able to happen. Finally, tonight, I was able to get back in there, do some organizing, putting things away in the dresser and hang a few items on the wall. It is all coming together! I am so excited!
I decided that I wanted to have the bedding made because I did not find one that I just loved. There were parts to many but I was not able to buy just the parts, so instead I went to JoAnn's and found a pattern. I did make some modifications to it though. I found 3 fabrics on Fabric.com, 2 at Hobby Lobby and 1 at JoAnn's. My mom was able to do all the sewing for me. Thanks Mom!
I really hope Claire is a fan of bright colors because as you can tell her Mommy is a big fan!
The Old Guest Room...Is Now Claire's New Room!
It went from this...
Check out the before of the dresser in the corner. Brent's mom found that for him when he was moving to Houston for only $5!!! And it is heavy, solid wood, just needed some TLC. Thanks Dena!

Overview
The Wall Makeover
The Dresser
(See above for original look.) A little primer and a little paint can dress anything up.
Please forgive the color. It is not showing up right in the picture. It is called something Red Wine, so in person it looks more cranberry.
The Updated Pulls (Spray paint has been a HUGE friend of mine during this makeover.)
Finished Product
The Bookshelf
Before
Of course, I forgot to take a before picture. This shelf was mine as a girl and my parents bought it down from Tulsa for Claire to use in her room. It was solid white, but I thought it needed a little touch of color.
After
Bedding
(Crib skirt not shown here since it is already on the crib.)
Close-up of Bumper
Close-up of Favorite Sheet (this one is from PB Kids...matched perfectly...couldn't resist)
Close-up of Quilt Side 1
Close-up of Quilt Side 2 (my favorite side)
All Assembled in Crib
Curtains
The shears are from my college days and have been just hanging in my closet since then waiting for a place to be hung again. I am excited to use them again for Claire's room.
