Karlee's Room Make Over

I am really bad at getting myself to decorate where I live, and usually don't rush into anything. We have lived in our townhome for Oh... almost 10 months now, and the only things that I have on our walls is our clock, and our magnet board in our kitchen. Its not that I don't find enjoyment in decorating, its just that I usually don't decorate until I have all the items that I want to use all together. I know that probably sounds dumb, and a pretty darn lame excuse. So to my rescue my sister Kaye came down for Karlee's sealing and is staying a couple of weeks down here in the lower 48 (thats what everyone in Alaska says). So she came and stayed a couple days on her way down to my parents home. My sister has a vinyl lettering business (Simple Sayings Vinyl Lettering) that she runs out of her home. It was so fun to run some ideas by her, even more exciting to see what she was able to come up with. While she was here we jumped right into decorating Karlee's room. Karlee's room really hasn't come together other than the beautiful cherry wood crib, and adorable crib set. And since we are just renting our townhome, painting is not an option, so vinyl seemed to be the best answer. We put a border of pink vinyl flowers around the top of Karlee's room, with a large vinyl "K" right above the crib. It turned out so perfectly. I love it!!!

It is now officially my favorite room. Now we just need to find a cheap dresser so we can get all her clothes off the floor. So Karlee's room is actually coming together quite nicely. Now I can't wait until my sister comes back for a little longer stay in a couple of weeks. She is so crafty. I am sure that we will get a few projects done while she is here. So here are a couple pictures of Karlee's room.


Ya don't even notice that the walls are sterile white. Love it!!!

Too cute! She was here doing wonders at my house this morning;) Maybe she could drag you to some great yard sales for a dresser...she always hits the gold mine! Check out craigslist too, a little pain and new knobs can do wonders!

So girly! Check Craigslist for a dresser. I have been getting all of my furniture on there lately. It is a bargain hunter's dream.
