"BIG GIRL" Room!

We know we are a little late getting this going (less than 8 weeks until "Gem" arrives), but we are finally getting around to putting together Clara's "Big Girl" bedroom. Our sweet little girl is SO excited about her new space. We have tried to let her have as much input as possible - having her help to select her bedding, paint colors (always insisting on pink and adding green because she knows it is Daddy's favorite color), and some essential accessories (lamp, night light and rug). Mommy has been a little picky with the furniture selection and has insisted on particular moldings and our sweet Daddy has been hard at work making my vision come to life.
Grandpa Murray came over and spent a full day helping Kevin get the molding up and getting all the furniture upstairs. We all REALLY appreciate his help!

Scout is thrilled to see this room that we have been discussing with her for weeks FINALLY come about. Now that the bed is assembled and has a mattress, she will often bring books into her new space, climb up into the bed and read away. It is so sweet!Currently Scout is still sleeping downstairs in the nursery, in her crib. Having only climbed out once (which really scared her) we have enjoyed this sense of security. While her excitement about the new room is high, we are still a little skeptical about how the transition will go. With railings, will she do okay in a big bed? And how will it be to have her upstairs?
I'll be sure to post photos of the completed room and provide updates about how the transition goes!
