........................................
i'm not sure where to even begin talking about this space -- as i mentioned in my last post, it's been a year in the making and i just couldn't be happier with how it has turned out. aside from that, i'll just leave it open to you all and if there are any questions about sources, how tos, etc. i'll do my best to answer them :) thanks so much for looking!
02.05.11 eta: holy wow! i didn't expect such an awesome response! firstly, thank you! and secondly, i'm working on some answers for everyone over the next couple of days here. thanks for your patience. xox.
02.08.11 eta: and it's up -- a little faq can be found here! i think i've answered all of the questions but let me know if there are any others! i'm hoping to do up a tutorial for the ruffle balls sometime within the next week :)
and... a big huge gigantic THANK YOU to everyone who read my first monthly personal post and took the time to leave a comment! i am now much much less afraid of this personal blogging thing, and maybe even a bit excited about it! i also now have a whole bunch of ideas for things to talk about so thank you for that too. feel free to leave any other suggestions or questions in the comments as i hope to get to them all eventually! have a great weekend. xox, andrea.
love it!

I am IN LOVE with this room. We recently bought a house and I've been thinking about what I want to do for our two year old girl's room (not to mention the nursery for our soon-to-arrive baby girl). I had assumed I would do a white bed, but now I'm questioning that after seeing how cool the black looks in Lila's room. Darling!
I'm wondering how you made the poof balls... I've made something similar out of tissue paper, but looks like you used fabric?
Lovely, lovely, lovely!

I LOVE IT!!!! (i hate capital letters, but this totally deserved it!!!)... its funny cause i see a lot of similar items we have for our baby girls room, they definitely end up having the nicest room in the house! it really is amazing andrea! a lot of love and detail! perfect!
(p.s. can i steal the grey paint color you used.... i have found a dark i love, but not a light yet... :D)

I love this so much! I was wondering what and/or how the ribbons are attached! Did you make the fabric balls? Love your style!!
Posted by: Andrea Johnson | February 04, 2011 at 02:13 PM

Oh my goodness! I want a little girl just so I can make a room like this! I have 2 boys and have no idea what to do with there rooms!!! Or my own room for that matter. My master bedroom feels like a dorm room, its sad. Anyways how did you hang all the ribbon above her bed? And how did you make the little flower puffs by her closet? and also the little flag hanging thing by the chair? I am in love with that room!! Great job ;)
Posted by: Julie Hawryluk | February 04, 2011 at 02:23 PM
This is all kinds of adorable!! I seriously love it, Andrea.
I love how you hung things down at her level too, like by that amazing little chair. And her little dress up corner with the mirror? looove! What's the paint colour you used, it's a really great gray!
SO impressed. Lila must love it :)
Posted by: Christine | February 04, 2011 at 02:24 PM

YOU are blessed with such an amazing gift! Keep celebrating it! :)

Gorgeous! You are just all around fabulous! I love it! Especially the framed artwork and the little dress-up corner. Too cute! The colors are so fun yet relaxing.
Posted by: Laura | February 04, 2011 at 04:40 PM
WOW that is by far the coolest room I think I've ever seen. :) That is amazing!!!! I do have a question though? How did you have the ribbon attached on the wall, and the poms or the balls whatever you wanna call them, how did you do them!? Thanks Thanks!!! :)
Posted by: Chelsea | February 04, 2011 at 05:30 PM
i don't know how they packed so much talent in such a small package. your awesomeness to height ratio is surely one of the highest in the world. I am at a disadvantage, having not enough of one and too much of the other.
Would be cool to see a source listing for these decorating posts (ie floating shelves: Ikea Lack, chair: ??)
Being the only male here, do my questions get more attention? affirmative action and all.
Posted by: Evan | February 04, 2011 at 06:44 PM
Her room is so ridiculously amazing. I love it!
Posted by: Allison Waken | February 04, 2011 at 08:13 PM

Hi Andrea - I think you did an awesome job on your girl's room! how do you make the ribbon ruffle balls (how to, amount of materials, etc.)? I am in the midst of gathering DIY decor ideas for our baby's nursery - would love to make a boy version of what you did!
Posted by: Miranda | February 06, 2011 at 05:23 PM
