"Big Girl" Room

Since our baby girl has turned into a big girl in what seems like the blink of an eye - and with baby on the way - we decided it was time to create a new room and space for Miss Madeline.  Though she doesn't have much interest in sleeping in there just yet, she enjoys playing in the room and sitting on her "big bed."

Here are some pictures of the - almost - finished product (we still have some pictures and toys that are still hanging in her nursery for now).  The bed was mine when I was a little girl and her dresser has been in my family for generations.  My Irish ancestor, Richard Hill (who was married to Nancy McNeel) made this dresser for his daughter when she married in 1780.  It has been passed down through generations on Vie's side of the family since then - to Lindsay McNeel and on to her Madeline McNeel.  Very special!
