My PB + J

A facelift has been made.

So forever ago, well, maybe like four months ago I got a little birdie in my ear telling me that I needed to  zush up Payton’s room for her upcoming first birthday. Of course, being the activator that I am, I went out right away to Lowe’s and picked up the paint that matched her bedding perfectly. I coerced my Dad to come down and help with the paint and chair rail and voila! We had a happier, brighter room for our soon-to-be toddler. I have always loved her bedding, and as many of you might remember I had my eye on it when I was barely seven-weeks preggo with my little love. I also had an old friend, Danielle, decoupage some new letters since I had to forego my “Payton” vinyl decal that I loved so much. The room really is a happier place, not only for me but for Payton. It is such a big girl room, I keep imagining it with a bed instead of crib and without the changing table. When she does eventually move into a bed we will have to find bedding that matches the “jalapeno jelly” and “butter yellow” paint, maybe she will get something with pink, but then again, my girl is not a pink kind of girl.

Here are a few pics of before and after.

Before – 
A few weeks before her arrival 
After – 
One week after her first birthday

I added some vinyl damask bird decals I found at Home Goods on the wall to the left. Payton loves birds and when she saw them there on that first morning she was so ecstatic, saying, “bird, bird, birdie, ma-ma, bird!”. ahhh! It melts my heart I tell you.  

When I was around 7 months preggo I decided one day I would paint a tree, I am not a painter, and was never really in love with this tree, but it meant something. It killed me watching my Dad roll over it with paint. 

After – 
The picture of Payton at 5.5 months was always on that wall, but in January I found some gorgeous hand cut prints from Elsita on Etsy and bought three for her room, one of which I gave away as a gift and a larger 8×10 for our room. 
Other room details:

The wall above her changing table. Her footprint at one-month-old and her 5 month picture along with her cousins. 

The letters Danielle Hankins made me with a three day notice. Love this girl. 

Her bows, if you can actually believe it, I have about 10-15 that are floating around between the car, handbags and kitchen counter that are missing. It’s a sick obsession, luckily, I am making them now! 

The wall by her closet, I want this to be a “watch me grow” wall, but I can’t figure out what to do since the chair rail is in the way. 
This side table, is actually my Grandmother’s and the reason why I cannot get rid of it. It actually houses her sewing machine, it’s pretty cool, doesn’t match but it was Grandma’s. Danielle made the cube and Grandma Toni sent the Mickey. Of course we had to have the matching Crane humdifier when she caught her cold.  
and last but not least all of her headbands. I told you I have a problem! Payton does a have a Vizio Television from Aunt Kathy and Uncle Al which sits to the right of these headbands. 
Well, nothing special but it has been a post I have had saved as a draft for a while now.

    It is all beautiful, Melissa! I will say though, your tree was really amazing and I am sad you had to paint over it.
