Making Amelie's Room Pretty

Hubby and I have been busy putting the finishing touches on Amelie's room.  A few posts ago I gave a sneak preview of Amelie's room.

The new bed has been there a while now and all that was needed was the finishing decorating touches.  It is now finished!

The butterfly mobile I whined about in a recent post is now complete!  It turns out it wasn't such a task after-all.  It just took some time and patience.

 Whilst I was putting the finishing touches on the mobile hubby got busy assembling and hanging some neat bookshelves to finish off Amelie's little reading corner.  The bookshelves are not an original idea by any means but seeing them finished I am still impressed with whoever came up with this idea.

The brick feature wall next to Amelie's bed was the perfect backdrop for her beautiful prints.

Lastly Mr Owl welcomes every visitor to Amelie's room.

Prints - these are by Art Candy although I think she has had a name change which I can't for the life of me remember.  If anyone knows please let me know and I'll link up.

I should have purchased a ready assembled kit. Sigh!

One day I'll finish this pretty butterfly mobile.

52 Weeks of Grateful - Nature

Amelie and her cousin Ossie have had a ball hanging at their Nan's house.  It is a wonderland of greenery including the BEST cubby house.

Amelie and Ossie have had so much fun exploring the garden.

With Family

Amelie and I have headed west for the week to stay at my Mum's house.

You really can't beat it.

The sun is shining and the spa is so very inviting.






Wish you were here!

Cubby House Cuteness

We've been talking about buying Amelie a cubby house for a while.  It was going to be a Christmas present and then we decided to wait until she was a year older.

That was until we found an adorable cubby house on line.  Well I should say it was hubby who found it and surprised me when I got home saying not only had he found the perfect cubby house for Amelie but he'd placed a back order.  It is currently sold out and not surprisingly given how gorgeous it is!

While we wait for its arrival we'll busy ourselves pouring over paint swatches choosing the perfect scheme to paint it.

We're wanting to paint our real house exterior so this might just be a good opportunity to test our colour choices out in a smaller scale.  Whatever colours we choose I think a pink door will be a must!

Do your kids have a cubby house to play in?
