Brinley's Nursery

I have finally completed Brinley's nursery!! I have been so anxious to get it done. In our old apartment we had two bedrooms, but the second was filled with Chris' desk, our guest bed, and everything else we didn't have room for. Because of that, having a nursery there was a no go. I was pretty sad about not getting to do all the fun decorating. But in our new home, Brinley got her own room and the decorating began. 
This dresser has quite the history. Chris' Grandpa Keller made this for Chris' Uncle Roger when he was born. There is a slice in the dresser from when one of the boys received a real tool set for Christmas and took their saw to it haha. Not only that but on the inside of the drawers Chris' mom and Uncle Roland had written Tamara +her crush from middle school as well as Roland's. There is just so many memories that go along with dresser, I just had to keep it.
So here is the before:
 
 
Here is the after (idea from Pinterest of course):
 
 
I must say, I love it. I am pretty impressed that I actually pulled it off, since I have no artistic ability what so ever!
Here are the very cheap frames I spray painted and that are collaged above her dresser:

 
I must point out the adorable rocking chair in the corner. I bought that at the DI for $5! Score!!!
 

After seeing all the adorable trees on pinterest, I had to have one in her room. I thought it would fit perfectly with the touch of owls that are in her room. So of course, my mom being oh so talented drew and painted this amazing tree! I love it and it just ties the room together.
 

 
 
 
And of course I had to post a few pictures of the beautiful girl this room belongs too!!
