The Girls Room

Since Maya and Norah are so close in age I thought it would be good for them to share a room.  In some ways it may help with the transition for Norah, like she may not feel so alone because Maya will be in the same room as her, and she also gets a big girl bed just like Maya.  In others ways it could be a challenge, I can picture the girls up late giggling together, or one crying in the middle of the night and waking the other up, we will just have to get used to it!

It was kind of sad taking down all of Maya's baby stuff.  I mean, this was our first baby room, and it was filled with memories, so it was hard taking it all down.....

Maya & Norah's room

The beds we bought are actually bunk beds, but because of the girls age, we thought it would be safer to have them as single twin beds for now.  I got the Owl/Nature bed set from target, super cute (all of Norah's bedding came as a gift)!  I tried to incorporate the same colors that were already in Maya's room, pink and brown and just add a few more colors.  I made the "Maya" name on the wall, and "Norah" was actually made by Carrisa.  I took it from Norah's room in California.  I thought it would be so special for her to have something in her new room her mommy made.

I did keep a few things the same, like this sign

and these picture frames.  I just changed the photos inside.

My friend Celine made these super cute pillows!  Don't you just love them!?!?

It was fun putting the room together, we are excited for Norah to enjoy it.  Maya already is!
