Turns out that black and white items aren't as easy to find. So I blame that (and you know the constant exhaustion that is pregnancy) for this room taking an age to finish.
We started with the Jenny Lind bed which I was fortunate enough to find used but in the wrong color. I was worried painting it might be a bad idea but I'm so glad I did. It looks so much better and more graphic in black!
The biggest dilemma were window treatments. I searched for months to find something that would work but nothing quite fit the bill. I finally admitted I was never going to find what I had wanted off a rack and turned to Tonic Living for something custom. As usual they were so helpful and created something beautiful. The drapes are blackout (key if I ever want to sleep past dawn!) lined and made of a lovely linen. Custom are definitely a splurge but so worth it! I don't know what took me so long to make that decision but here we are.
I also had the hardest time with bed linens but I sort of gave up the ghost on that one mixing a polkadot comforter and a grey + white ruffle quilt set to get close enough.
So this side of the room is done. I just have to work on the other side (ha! You thought this was finished? Nope!) before the impeding August deadline and I'll be golden.
I won't move Aggie in until the room is finished but she loves coming in here to play. Hopefully that will make the big girl room transition easier when the time comes.
