Lilia's New Room Sneak Peak

We have been busy with our last BIG pre-baby project. Lilia's new big girl room. We would really like to have it set up and finished at least a month (hopefully a little more) before new baby comes. Lilia will probably still sleep in the nursery, but we will need to move the bulk of her clothes and toys to make room for the little lady. Also, we really want her to have a sense of space that is all her own before her world gets rocked.

Re-designing a room from minimal guest room to little girl's room is a much bigger project than I expected. Maybe that is because I am obsessed with making every detail special and fun. Anyway here is a very small view into what we are working on. The walls will be a very light green called Seafoam. The colors will be yellow, turquoise with hints of orange and pink.
Here are some of the fabrics so far. The yellow is her bedspread, the blue are the curtains, and the yellow with pink flowers is the fabric for the window seat. (making that today) Then I have several pillows (picked out, but still need to purchase) to fill the seat as well.
We have primed the walls from blue to white and bought the dresser and bookcase from Craigslist. They will be primed today. The drawers are from the dresser (circa 1920's and not in this pic) and the bookcase sits on that cabinet on the right. Very cute. I think we will paint the dresser and side table white (already purchased some fun knobs from Anthropologie) and the bookcase turquoise.
