My baby girl is going to be 18 months old this week! And along with that came a few changes in her bedroom. I've felt during the last few weeks that her room still felt like a baby's room, and she wasn't a baby anymore. Being on holidays from work at the moment, I took the opportunity to do some shopping and rearranging to transform her bedroom into an oasis for a toddler girl.
The first thing to do was to dismantle the crib and assemble her new toddler bed. We purchased the vintage looking Minnen bed from IKEA. I love that it (and the mattress) is extendable to three different lengths, so it can grow with her. We currently have it at the shortest length, which is as long as a crib but as wide as a twin bed. Some new toddler bedding from Target completed the look.
We also bought another IKEA Trofast toy storage unit. This one doubles as her night table and has a nice surface for playing and displaying her pretty toys. She also chose the cute owl lamp from IKEA.
We kept the Hemnes (also IKEA) chest of drawers and change pad as we are still using diapers...she's not
that grown up yet!
I took the armchair, lamp and side table out of the room to make more space for her to sit and read and play with her toys. She is such an avid reader and loves taking books off her shelves to sit in the rocking chair or on her bed and read.
And that's her new room! It's the tiniest room in the house, so we'll see how long she's happy in a small space, but I love that it's updated now to suit her growing needs.
