 So it's not quite a finished product, but I figured it was close enough to post pictures of Ellie's big girl room.  The two walls above her bed are a little busy but I think I like them.  

Here is a close-up of one of the four pictures hanging above her wall.  Ellie and I made a bunch of pictures of butterflies and flowers using her hand prints and foot prints (there is one butterfly that has my hand prints as well).  I think it turned out cute and Ellie seems to be proud of the fact that her hands are worthy of being framed.

A close-up of the bed with the "Luke Father" butterfly pillow and a pillow that Grandma made when Ellie was born.  I really like the quilt I ended up getting.  Note the picture of Ellie and her best friend on the nightstand.  

Here is the room looking the other direction, complete with more butterflies, a chalkboard, and garden stuff on the shelf.  Ellie likes her new bookshelf and how she can pick out her books every night.

Here is a close-up of the butterflies on the wall.  I tried to make them look like they were flying out of the water can.  I think it goes without saying that Ellie's room has more stuff on her walls than I've ever put up in a single room before, but I suppose whatever goes up can also come down.

And finally, the least finished part of the room.  Now would be a good time for me to list the things I'm still hoping to do to the room:
1.  Picket fence headboard
2.  Curtains
3.  Framing pieces of lace that Ellie's great grandma made
4.  Cross stitch with a girl looking at a butterfly on a branch of flowers
5.  Growth chart on her door or door frame
6.  Toddler rocking chair
So, other than it being brighter than you probably imagined... what do you think?
