I remember coming to visit and changing Caleb in there. sniff! sniff! Nursing here, too. :) Didn't Caleb take a nap in his crib? ohhh!!! and now he's starting 1st grade!!!Christiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15096199001463192355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4829223433007649672.post-89400375116097653782009-07-09T17:34:32.590-04:002009-07-09T17:34:32.590-04:00Hey girl!

As always, you're my first stop! <br /><br />I'm a doors person because I want to be able to hide the fact that I'm not always on top of my game in the laundry/organizing dept. Since you don't have that personal weakness like I do, I think you could definitely leave the doors off. It totally opens up the space! If you do put the doors back on, I would definitely paint them white. I think you'll be surprised how little wear and tear.<br /><br />I like the curtain idea, actually. You could buy pretty white curtains that have an eyelet design like the bedskirt. How pretty would that be? And then you can be flexible with how much of the closet to show or not show.<br /><br />Good luck! I've been redecorating as well! I'll post sometime!Aliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14286911362296016524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4829223433007649672.post-9937176883141742122009-07-01T12:46:27.484-04:002009-07-01T12:46:27.484-04:00The room does look great.

Can it really be that long ago? Wow.<br /><br />I vote for painting the closet doors too. I think the curtain idea is a great one, but if you are selling, I say stick with the doors (of course keep in mind that I have no decorating skills whatsoever so feel free to ignore this all together!). : )Wherever HE Leads We'll Gohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15042627234253638468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4829223433007649672.post-13825653211923469222009-07-01T10:01:19.125-04:002009-07-01T10:01:19.125-04:00Wow!!

I would probably paint the closet doors, even though it will be a pain. I can't wait to see it in person and all the other decorating you have planned!Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08851714454350484299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4829223433007649672.post-404411427701931602009-07-01T09:15:55.515-04:002009-07-01T09:15:55.515-04:00Wow! The room looks great! All of your hard work...Wow! The room looks great! All of your hard work really shows! And, you have some great ideas yet to come: bedskirt/ sham, rugs, wall items...<br /><br />Unless you have another idea for the dresser, I would add a basket and change the color of the pad. Once you paint the dresser white, you might want to think about a gingham liner in a basket, with the pad matching the gingham. <br /><br />As for the closet...I absolutely love the organization! Hooray! I am making a mental note for the future! My opinion, you probably need some doors (especially if you're thinking about selling). So, I think Kat's ideas were very helpful. Either paint to match the trim or go for a curtain. Don't know about the size, but a shower curtain might even work? <br /><br />Have fun! Excited to hear what you decide! <br /><br />I have to say, Will's room was adorable! It brought back memories! :)Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10895108064130276919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4829223433007649672.post-80455248681549507392009-06-30T16:34:29.752-04:002009-06-30T16:34:29.752-04:00Hmmm....
My first thought: a basket for the changi...Hmmm....<br />My first thought: a basket for the changing table stuff would be great and would certainly add to the cottage-y feel of the room. <br />Second thought: if you want to paint the doors to the closet, it will really open up the room with the bright color. All you have to do is a little extra work (sand the finish so the paint sticks, and prime with a base paint). By doing that the paint is less likely to peel off. OR a nice set of curtains could create a "door" without really closing off the space. I have seen that done on some design shows and it generally turns out really well.<br />The room looks so great already! I can't wait to see the rest of the decorating and how well everything will come together in the end.Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02776575620560393191noreply@blogger.com
