Happy Birthday Isabele!

Here are some pictures of Isabele's new room. This was her main birthday present. We managed to keep her out for all the decorating. She had only seen the bed frame and the dresser, nothing else.

In the far corner in this first pictures is a vanity I made for her out of an old steamer trunk lid. The hinges completely failed on a trunk that Brian's Grandma Damico gave to me. So, I repurposed it into a vanity. I collected (and am still hunting down a few more) pictures of myself and Isabele's grandmothers, great grandmothers and great, great grandmothers. I decoupaged them onto the inside of the trunk. Brian hung the trunk from the joists. The height is adjustable (since she won't always be 3).



Here's her spot for hanging clothes and the window. Fabric is draped randomly to make it a little softer in appearance. If it gets too cold, then I'll make "drapes" for the walls for winter - but one way or another - lots of options to change the way her room looks over time.

A little desk I found for $25.00 at a resale shop in town. Just perfect for her. I added some Christmas ornament balls in pink, purple and green - just to make it look pretty. This is the first she has had a room all to herself and I wanted it to be welcoming and a fun place to be.

The red lines at the bottom of the pictures are LED ropelights - great nightlight!
