I haven't done much decorating yet, but I did finish Clara's room. She has never had a girl room so I had a lot of fun creating the perfect girl room. Clara loooves butterflies so she had to have butterflies and it had to be pink. I made a lot of the things for her room. I had so much fun. I wish I would have taken before pictures of all the things before we changed them.
The bed use to be a light wood color and we painted it white and the stairs were wiggles stairs and i painted them green and i painted the night stand's knob fuchsia.
My friend Amy gave me this idea to put fabric in these needle point rings.
I made this butterfly mobile which was a nightmare. It costs $115 at pottery barn so i thought I would just make one to save $, but it was sooooo hard that I could see why it was $115. And it is hard to see here but the butterflies on the wall I cut out of contact paper which was $5.
I made this butterfly lampshade out of hard felt and leftover ruffles from the ruffle shirts I use to make.
And I bought a huge sham that went with the bedding and I cut it up and made a smaller pillow and added these butterflies out of hard felt.
And I really wish I took a before picture of this because it was an old white washed mirror that was very out of style and I bought a wood butterfly at Michael's for $1 and glued it in the middle and painted the whole thing green. so it looks like one piece. So now I can check off Clara's room because it is done, yay!!!

Dying at Reid crutching super fast. Poor boy. That was so sweet of Clara to share her eggs.

I forgot to say that Clara's room is EXTRA cute. I love that butterfly mobile, even though it was your nemesis.
Also, Max loves Elmo too. I should have done an Elmo party, but Ella had one when she turned two. Cute cake you made.
