Casa de Delaney

Now that Delaney is 3 months old, perhaps it's time to finally show her fans pictures of her room. Here goes...

Here's Delaney's bedding that I made--her quilt and bumper. Very sophisticated and not too frilly. Delaney seems to enjoy the view.

See how the curtains match the bumper? Yeah, I planned that. The rocking chair belonged to my mother-in-law and was used to rock my cranky husband to sleep when he was just a little peanut. Now it is used to rock his equally cranky peanut to sleep. Aww...

Yeah, this isn't the greatest shot, buy you get the picture. The changing table has a sweet story to it--the dresser was my great uncle's and was refinished for me many years back by a family friend. It didn't have the right feel to it for Delaney's room, so Steve stripped it down and refinished it once again. The top portion of the table was created by Steve's dad and stained to match. Those Dunlap men are quite handy. The fun little paper mobiles were created by an etsy artist and Miss Delaney loves to stare up at them. 

Nothing too exciting here--a diaper stacker, pretty hooks to hang baby carriers and whatnot, and lots of books. Delaney will love to read--she really has no choice in the matter. We've already started by clapping out syllables (I haven't taught in a few months and I have the itch already!) and have a nightly bedtime story. 

Yet another picture of Delaney's pretty crib with her mobile and wooden name. I decoupaged the letters and I think they look lovely. The vintage Beatrix Potter prints were purchased 3 years ago at an estate sale and I finally got to put them to use. I'm very happy with how they look in the room.

Yes it is hard work. Sorry about the upset baby...have you heard of the "Happiest Baby on the Block?" If you haven't seen it before you should rent the DVD from the library. We love it and it has been very helpful for calming Aubrey. She hardly cries!

Lovely room. I like that it is a place she can grow into instead of out of. Very grown up. Of course Corey loves the Orange.
