Charlotte's Web

As we wrote before, we had a LOT of help getting Charlotte's room whipped into shape (though there are some finishing details left to be completed) from my parents and Grandpa Chuck. Here are some photos of the room to give you an idea of our progress.


Alicia from across the street painted us this sign before we even knew we were having a girl (but had already picked out the name, obviously!). Alicia's instincts were correct!


Here's the crib my parents bought for her, along with the crib sheets from Grandpa Chuck. The bed does convert to a double bed, but we probably won't use it as such since we have Corey's old twin bed and the matching one we found at the antique store in Rochester.


I absolutely love the glider and practice gliding in it often. The color of the fabric we chose was named "ginger", and I tried to tie it into the room with some of the fabric in the valances.


The Michigan State mobile (a gift from Corey's cousins, Erin and Katie) plays the MSU fight song in such a pretty way that it really does sound just like a lullaby. If Charlotte's first words are "Sparty" and "East Lansing", I won't be surprised.


The moon light Corey found is set on a dimmer so we can turn it on very low for late-night feedings. It's probably my favorite part of the room and really adds a lot of character.

Anyone think we need to put up a little spiderweb in the corner with "Some Pig" spelled out in it? Maybe for Halloween...
