welcome to ava's room

My daughter's room is one of the only ones in our house that is (nearly) complete, so I've decided to share a few photos. I'd love to hear any and all opinions. Welcome to Ava's room:
I chose bedding from Pottery Barn Kids (on clearance I might add) that would work for future children we might have, so no babydoll pink. My favorite part are the letters. I love letters and numbers as a motif. Hanging on the wire right now are cards from all our baby showers. When she gets older, we plan to use it for her artwork.


My dad built this dollhouse bookcase for Ava as a Christmas gift. It was based on the one available from Pottery Barn Kids, but I of course love ours much more -- and it's handcrafted! I added a little upholstered stool, some cushions, a light from Ikea and instant reading nook!
Above the changing table I hung two Hold Everything CD shelves (from the Pottery Barn outlet) to hold diapers and other supplies. The changing table, dresser, and crib came in a set from Walmart. I wasn't sure what the quality would be (we ordered online), but I've been pleasantly surprised. I didn't want to spend a fortune on furniture we'd only use until she outgrew it.
The artwork is all homemade and the dollhouse is one my mom and I made together when I was about 11.
All in all, I'm pretty pleased with how it has turned out. Although, she's seven months old and I'm already thinking of ways to change it as she gets older.
