I finally finished the baby's gallery wall above her changing table.
I had a vision of what I wanted, but she came into the world before I had a chance to complete it.
She loves to stare at it when I'm changing her, and many of the items have a special meaning or story attached.
My best friend gave me these tiny shutters because she knows I love miniature things, but they have been sitting off to the side for quite a while, since I wasn't sure how to use them.
I decided to create shelves with them.
Nel made this hot air balloon for my bridal shower.
Mom and my mother-in-law bought this pretty rosary and stuffed bunny at the gift shop when Francesca was born.
My friend has a sign business, and she made this lovely handmade sign for us. Her signs are creative and affordable, and she can do custom orders. You can find her work here: Marilyn Avenue Sign Co.
These L-o-v-e blocks were in my bedroom when I was a little girl, and now I'm passing them on to my little girl.
My colleague made this piece. We coached an elementary girls' running club last spring, and this is inspired by an activity that promoted self-love.
Lastly, I just love unicorns, and the headpiece is from my wedding reception.
I hope you've enjoyed a sneak peak into one of my home projects. I'm learning to accept that things are just going to take longer now, even if it's months longer than anticipated!
Our little Red Rose Alley baby says Hi. ;-)

She is beyond pretty and adorable ,i just loved her so much .

may you see more happiness with your child in each step of life darling!
OH she is ADORABLE!! Yes, things WILL take longer but as a mom to three grown children (a 29-year old and twins who are 26) it is SO worth it. I sometimes look back at things I made or did when they were little and think, "How on earth did I do that??" but you just DO. And you're young lol. LOVE how all of these things have such meaning and a story behind them that you'll be able to share as time goes on.
Oh Jess, Francesca is so adorable! You have created a DARLING space for her...I love the soft pinks and everything you put together...
LOVE the sweet shutter shelves!
Such a cute baby!! I love her wonderful smile.

What a special room so full with love! The rosey pink is such a soft and peaceful color, and Francesca is such a pretty name!

Blessings and love to all!
