My husband comes from a large family, he was the last of
his parent's eight children. As you can imagine, the family
gatherings can be quite large with spouses and children of
all these eight brothers and sisters. From the beginning,
when we first started dating, I was drawn to his sister
Ann and her husband Tim. I admired her right away, she
was artistic, a great cook, and the kind of person you would
want to get to know. Her sense of humor always kept us laughing.
Her husband Tim is just as special and I have grown to love
them both over the years.
Tim and Ann have always had a special place in our
lives, and we have so many memories of happy times
over the years. When their oldest son and his wife
announced that they were expecting a child, we were
just as excited as they were. I wanted to do something
special for them to welcome this new little one.
After consulting with Julie about her ideas for the
nursery and much time spent on Pinterest, she came
up with a soft gray color scheme with a chevron
and a polka dot pattern. She gave me liberty to use
them as I wished . . . so the creating began.
The crib is a white convertible crib and was
the perfect shade of white to accent the
gray and white fabrics. I used the
Premier chevron print on the bed skirt,
placing the polka dot inside the pleats.
The bumpers were polka dot on the
outside and chevron on the inside with
an accent of a white with gray circles on
the bias trim and ties.
The window treatment was open/close panels on
a traverse rod. The chevron was used with a 3" band
of the dot. The pleated valance was the dot with accent
chevron covered buttons. The white bead board is
a wonderful warm touch to this adorable room.
Dan and Julie are so excited about the arrival of the baby
sometime in early April. He/she will have a beautiful
room to enjoy. I am so thankful I was able to be a
part of this past weekend and to be able to use my gifts.
I am blessed to be a part of this wonderful family.
