Show Us Where You Live Friday!

This week is children's rooms and/or nurseries!! YAY!!!
Enjoy the tour and let me know if you stopped by!!!

You are going to have to bear with me cause I have a lot of pictures to post. I can't help it...I do have 3 kids!

Abigail (6 months), Samuel (6 years), and Ellie Kate (2 years)

Also, we have been doing a bit of rearranging in regards to these rooms and about a week ago, my oldest 2 started sharing a room. So, I'm not exactly thrilled with their room cause I had to merge 2 rooms (that didn't match at all) together. Anywhoo...it's still cute and they love sharing it. So without further ado...

Samuel and Ellie Kate's Room

Samuel's bed


Ellie Kate's dresser with a painting I made for her
the dresser was my grandparents and it's really cool!


Glider that some friends gave us so we could keep the comfy chair in the nursery


another cool piece of furniture from my grandparents and fun shelves (bathroom to the left and out into the hallway to the right)


Close up of the shelves with some special things


The CHOSEN picture was given to me at Samuel's shower before we adopted him and the plate has 1 Samuel 1:27 which is what he is named after...much like Hannah, I wept and waited a long time for my special boy and gift from God! You might also see some Ukrainian nesting dolls that we got in Ukraine while we were there finding Samuel.

Ellie Kate's shelf holds the picture frame I made her, a painting that was given to her, and a beautiful engraved silver cup from her grandmother (Jeff's mom). Inside the cup is a silver spoon that was given to me from my fertility clinic after I got pregnant with her from IVF!

Now, Miss Abigail's room

Poor thing got all of Ellie Kate's hand me downs (she better get used to it I guess). I did do some new paintings for her though. Now, she originally had the brown curtains that are now hanging in the older kids room so I had to just put these pink ones (I already had them) that don't match up until I can get some more brown ones. It really looked much better with the brown curtains.

I LOVE this pink dresser! We had an old dresser down in our basement and when I was preggo with EK, I painted it pink and put the glass knobs on it. It is one of my favorite pieces of furniture...as it was really ugly before and now it's just beautiful!


Changing table and another painting I did
it's driving me crazy that the baskets are crooked:)

Okay! Hope you enjoyed the tours!!! That was a lot of pictures!!!

Hang in there...I'm not finished! I have to post the original nurseries.

This was Samuel's room right before we left for Ukraine. I had SO MUCH FUN coming up with his room...I had been waiting a LONG time to do it! It's a smaller picture because it was ions ago on my 5 megapixel piece of crap camera (ha)!

And here is my favorite part of Ellie Kate's nursery (this was her room when we lived in Athens, GA). I wanted to do the dots again at this house, but just didn't have the energy when we moved last summer.
