I had so much fun decorating Claire's room! It took me awhile to decide what colors and how I wanted to decorate it, but once I found this bedding I knew what I wanted to do!
We have both a twin bed and a crib in the room because Claire will be sleeping in the crib, but we already had the bed all set-up so we decided just to leave it in her room. That way if I have to sleep with her for awhile when she comes home I'll be able to do that comfortably. :)
This is the view from the doorway. (this room used to be Cooper's room)
I put the polka dots on the wall-it's actually just white contact paper! I used my cricut machine to cut them out, and then used a grid on the wall with yarn in order to get the polka dots straight.
Laura made me this banner, it says: "You did not grow under my heart but in it." It's a common adoption phrase that I love!
This is a little shelf over her bed-the little Chinese doll is actually my mom's from when she was 10!
I had to put my little bow-hanger on the blog-it's so fun having bows in the house!!
This is the wall with the bedroom door and closet door. I have now changed out the knobs on the dresser to little pink glass knobs.
The center picture is a picture of China that my sister ordered for me. It has a heart on it where Claire is from, and then it says her name and birthdate. I love it! Then on the bottom left little plaque is a card that says "I love you" in Chinese. The bottom right plaque has a card on it with Claire's Chinese "year" animal-she was born in the year of the rabbit. I'm going to put photos of our family together on the rest of the plaques.
This is the wall opposite her crib.
We put these shelves way high up on the wall to put all of our stuffed animals kind of out of the way.
It's hard to see but the sign says "you are my sunshine." I love that song! :)
This is her little play corner. We have a little kitchen for her and then a little cradle-it was my play cradle when I was little. We'll put all of her little doll stuff back here.
So that's it! Very soon Claire will be here to enjoy it all!!!

The room turned out adorable. I cannot wait for you to get her. I am beyond excited for all of you. Soon she will be part of our family and my kids are excited to meet their new cousin.
Oh Jessica ~ I love her room
And so neat - we have already bought paint to do polka dots on one wall of our lil bits room too (in coral and light pink) and the room is already painted a light aqua blue ;) (great minds thinking alike) ;)
I love all the special little touches and keepsakes ;)
Ps - I LOVE your new blog banner!!!
Love Claire's room!! Beautiful :) I can't wait to meet her, praying for your safe travels very soon! Oh, and BTW, my blue bonnet pics I take each year at the JC Penney headquarters off legacy in Plano!
Wow Jessica! Her room turned out so beautifully!!! Love the color scheme and many details that pull it together. Made with love for sure. I'm sure she will enjoy waking up in her new room very soon. Safe travels, my friend! Can't wait to meet Claire in person.
Unbelievable! Out of a magazine for sure! And like Gretchen said, made with so much love. All the personal details really make it so beautiful and touching. You are a professional designer, you know!
Just a perfect room for a lucky little girl! Won't she be the princess with her two brothers at her beck and call!?!?
Many, many happy adventures and memories already stacking up for your family!
Hugs!!
