Second Star to the Right...

....And straight on til Morning!

I love how Baby Roo-Bug's nursery turned out! 

A special thanks to my mom, sister and dear friend who helped to make it a enchanting room! That when I had the vision of patterned stripes on the wall...they didn't totally want to kill me....lets just say the boys are never allowed to repaint the room! Even with the added extra day and a half of work...it completed the room  making it a truly magical nursery! So Mom, Auntie A, My Doc, and Friend C....Thank you! 

I got these wonderful lights at our local thrift shop for just $2 each. Then with my hubby's help we printed these silhouettes,  and I carefully cut out the shapes. They turned out so stupendous! 

Another thrift store find by my mom, we painted it white, added the black back round  and I had some Peter Pan stickers!

My treasure find on craigslist, the crib for free! Got the bedding at a consignment store, new mattress, and a little polish to the wood, with some deep cleaning...turned out wonderfully!
 I don't have a better picture, but in the far corner there is a dresser we refurbished too, that was my great grandma's. We painted it white, took out the drawers... since they were broken beyond repair...put in particle board, painted that the dark blue to match the stripes, added baskets and voila, its perfect!! (I'll get a picture of it soon)
More on the wonderful stripes! The Darling's nursery is pink with wide and narrow stripes...well we didn't want to do pink. We went back and forth on green or blue, and once Roo was born and a boy...blue just seemed right. My mom picked out the paint, my MIL provided the funds for the paint and the combo was glorious! My mom with the aid of my sister and myself were able to make my vision a reality. 

More refurbishment here... the little toy chest I got on craigslist, with a little elbow grease cleaning and white paint on the top makes it look brand new! I was happy it has a slow release catch so no smashed fingers.
My $10 recliner chair, that has lovely pink and brown retro 70s strips. although I loved the pattern, my hubby and mom did not...and since it didn't match so well, my mom found this wonderful white twin bed blanket in her closest that works as a great slip cover!
The cubby, was another great find! Free from a neighbor, we repainted its BRIGHT blueness into a soft white, and thanks to the $1 bin at Target I got the fabric bins to complete it.
The white curtain I labored over...not making just finding. We got it at Walmart, and we had found with Bear that blackout curtains really work for nap times, but white blackout? It can be done! So I used a liner and then a window scarf  to accent it to make it more ethereal. :)

These pictures I bought years ago at Disneyland cause I loved how they looked, one was a matted print, and the other two are note cards, so I got frames at Wally World. I'm probably the only person who can go shopping in their own home for  decorations...which is just what I did. I got so excited when I realized how many little items I had to complete the nursery. I feel these prints really did bring it all together.
I went back and forth a few times on ideas for the room, from Mickey Mouse (when Bear was going to be moved there) to Small World...if you saw the pink chair you'd understand how that theme started....I really wanted it to be a room as special as Bears turned out (Seen here http://hisartistaj.blogspot.com/2011/05/deep-in-hundred-acre-woods.html) Its been such a room of comfort with its magical enchanting theme. I wanted the same for Baby Roo.
 I'm so glad I went back to the Neverland theme, it is indeed enchanting.

We have a couple more details to add...maybe I'll get those done and pictured in an updated blog later...even not "finished" we LOVE this room!

I just love this room!
