Bathroom finished (almost) . . . I must post piccies!

We have just finished redoing baby girl’s bathroom.  Honestly . . . . I HATE yellow in general, but something about a little girl and yellow seems so sweet to me.  Anyway, the Hubs suggested a yellow wall so that it would be a bright, happy place.  I hunted for weeks for just the perfect bathroom ensemble.  Finally settled on a turtle theme.  After spending 6 hours and visiting 5 different stores I got everything I needed except for the soap dispenser and bath rug which I ordered.  They finally came in!  I put the finishing touches on this morning except for some wall art.  I think what I want to do is take pictures around Hoan Kiem Lake in Hanoi and the Turtle Pagoda for the walls and we’ll do photoshop them when we ever get to VN.  The yellow, however, turned out to be POW! Yellow instead of Buttah Yellow. . . . OY!   It will certainly wake a girl up in the morning.  Piccies to follow as soon as my camera batteries are charged up!

Sleep . . . Dream . . . Imagine-MyMy’s Nursery!

Her nursery is about 90% finished . . . . please to enjoy . . . . (sorry . . . .pic heavy!)

View from the door

View immediately to the left as you walk through the door.  Those are two of my Madame Alexander dolls in her baby doll crib.  The one on the left has to go to the doll hospital before MyMy gets home.

Continuing on with the panoramic view of the room . . . .

That is the diaper stacker on the closet door knob.  I need to get hooks to hang that on as I am going to use it as a hamper.  As a stacker, it is essentially worthless.  I also am trying to figure out what to put on the wall above the changing area. 

I painted this shelf one of the pink colors on the wall.  See the bunny Nana got her?

This is the doll that Aunt Deana got her for Christmas

This is her hairbow collection.  Clearly, I am going to have to extend the ribbons . . . .

This is her Kitty hairbow

and her elephant hairbow

And I just liked this pail so I am using it as a trash can.  Daddy thought it was too small for dirty diapers.  D’oh!  We shall tour the diaper genie section of the baby store soon . .. . . .Her Zebra from Grandma keeps it company. 

This is a quilt that my precious friends from all over North America made when I got pregnant the first time.  Aren’t they the sweetest people ever created??????  I have it in the crib for now, but I may figure out a better way to display it later.  Perhaps I’ll put it over the changing station.

The famous Bubble Wall again!

This shot looks so warm and comforting . . . .. . .

And her snazzy shagadelic area rug!!!  It is made of satin shag fabric!  And mommy’s fresh pedi!

And finally . . . . her lamb Lovey.
