Cayman's Room

Cayman's bedroom was the first room in our house that I painted after we moved in. I had been thinking about my baby's nursery long before I was even pregnant. I was full of ideas and very eager to get started. I had been hit by the "nesting" bug for a long time and it felt great to finally make a space of our own!

I love the way Cayman's room turned out!

If I had to choose my favorite part of Cayman's room, it would be her crib quilt and bumper. It's from Pottery Barn that I found on Ebay. I immediately fell in love with it. The seller's "Buy It Now" price was more than I could afford nor willing to pay for such an item no matter how beautiful it is! The seller and I negotiated back and forth for about a week and finally the seller worked her price down to my comfort zone and I bought it!

Also on Ebay, I found these watercolor paintings a very talented lady does to match the Pottery Barn's quilts (seller: lorilynnayres). These flowers are a replica of the ones found on the crib quilt I bought.


We did not have enough money in our budget to update the green carpeting in Cayman's room. My solution to that was this rug. I found it online and fell in love! But again, came across the same issue as the crib quilt...it was too expensive. But before I gave up hope, I called a carpet outlet store that is near one of Cayman's doctor's offices. My parents have always had great luck finding quality flooring there for a fraction of the cost. So I called the outlet store, gave them the name and designer of this rug and asked if they could order it for me. It was and it was $150 cheaper than the online price plus without having to pay the shipping cost. What a deal! Now the outdated green carpeting doesn't bother me nearly as bad!

I painted the dresser and trunk knobs pink, just to add a little extra girly touch!


This quote is so fitting, wouldn't you say?
The white vinyl letters were not showing up well over top of the light yellow walls, so I bought a poster frame and a piece of foam board. I painted the foam board pink (the same pink as the dresser knobs), and then stuck the quote to the foam board. I cut the board down to the size of the frame. Whaala!

This sentimental decor was a gift from two ladies Mike works with, Janet and Beth. For Cayman's birthday, they gave her money and requested it be put towards something girly and fun for her room. This beautiful framed wall quote hangs on Cayman's wall because of those two generous ladies. "Thank you Janet and Beth!"

That is one very useful bookcase.

Just a little bit of extra storage to keep the organized me happy.

I love those little tiny hands and feet. These were Cayman's prints when she was just a few days old.
