It's Coming Up Roses

In the past few weeks, we've been re-decorating Abigail's room, and we're finally getting down to some of the finishing touches. I can't wait to share photos of the entire project, but I can only show you this latest bit of it right now. 

Monday night I set out to create my own version of a lamp I adore in the Pottery Barn Kids catalog. I just love that catalog and store. I lust after everything in every catalog cover to cover.) But, I think their prices are exorbitantly outrageous, hence why I set out to create my own version of the lamp. I picked up a lamp at IKEA, so you know that was Swedish design but within my budget. And, I grabbed all the pink rosebuds the Dollar Tree had to offer, plugged in my hot glue gun and went to work.

In just an hour or two, I had an adorable lamp for one of Abigail's nightstand. 

Daniel is giving it less than a month before either Abigail or Cooper destroys it, but I've threatened them both with their lives so I'm hoping they fear me.

TOO CUTE! ISN'T IT NICE TO USE THEIR CATALOG FOR INSPIRATION AND THEN DO IT YOURSELF?! YOU DID GREAT!

Very cute. I'm hoping to get some time to do Ally's like this. And of course Ashlee will have to have one too. But that will be last.
