Making our house a home: Anna's "big girl" room

For some reason pregnancy nesting means major room overalls in my brain ... we completed a total re-do of our study (nothing like painting at 28 weeks pregnant!) before we got down and dirty with furnishing and decorating Anna's "big girl" room.  Not unlike a couple of years ago when we decided to update one our guest rooms (now Anna's room) before completing the nursery.  The nursery will remain unchanged and neutral (click here and here for pictures), but we knew Anna needed a space that was bright and airy, girly and with plenty of pastels!  We had hoped to use the existing furniture, but ultimately just didn't feel that she (or we!) we were ready for her to be in a bed of any sort at 20 months old.  We lucked out and found a great deal on a convertible crib, dresser and bookshelf at a local children's store and this set-up gives us all peace of mind, and will grow with her through the years.  Overall, I love how this room turned out!  We've left plenty of room for Anna to make it her own as she grows, but in the meantime it's the perfect space for a sweet and adorable little girl!  Links are posted below because I really loved some of the products and vendors and think you might too.
