Hazel's Big Girl Room

/

Back when I was nesting (preparing for a new baby by giving my old baby a brand new bedroom), I met one of the greatest loves of my life. PAINT!!!

Not just any old paint, American Paint Company - Chalk and Mineral base paint. I cannot tell you how easy it is to use, it's safe for a kids bedroom, and it gives the best distressed look to old furniture. Basically, I became so obsessed with this paint, if things weren't nailed down they were likely going to find themselves with a shiny new coat of paint. It was bad. Good thing I was really pregnant at the time and eventually my energy fizzled out. I could only do so much.

 

Here are some of the items that were subjected to my nesting obsession:

1. Toddler swing - bought for 5$ at antique shop

room

 

Picture frame - 20$ at antique shop

Wooden plaques - 24$

Old hutch - 50$ at yard sale

Here's how they ended up in Hazel's room...

Ok...I didn't paint this mirror. I bought it at an antique shop just like that. Hazel loves to sit in front of it and talk, read, and dance.

I decided to hang her Christening gown instead of leave it in the closet.
