where the green grass grows

When I was posting my pictures from yesterday's post, I ran across a few other pictures that I had taken of my youngest sister's baby's room. These pictures are worth posting.

The window treatments were easy to sew and relatively inexpensive. They are stationery - she has roller shades underneath them that uses daily. If you can sew a straight line, these are for you! They are simply one straight panel sewn with lining (Imagine a pillowcase). I actually left one end open (just like a pillowcase) and put the open end around the board that they are attached to). The ties are simply 3 inch wide satin ribbon. The bows were made separately (nothing fancy, just a bow like you're tying your shoe laces), then attached with a safety pin. Oh - the other great thing about these window treatments is this: since they are for decoration only, you can cheat on the amount of fabric that you use. In other words, if we took the bows off and let the fabric hang, it wouldn't cover the length of the window. So we were able to use less fabric than needed.

I think her whole room turned out darling!

(The other picture is of my older sister's little boy's room - it is a lodge theme and she has all of his cowboy boots arranged in order- from smallest to biggest - on his shelf. It is my FAVORITE thing in her house! I love it!)

Enjoy!

I can't believe I forgot to mention baby Lucy! Isn't she getting big?? She was dressed in "sherbert" in honor of her brother's ice cream birthday! Too sweet! (Landon told his mom, "I wish Lucy had been born a little after my birthday so she wouldn't get all the attention at my birthday party." Bless him!)
