Toy chest and dresser knobs

I finally got around to stenciling the toy chest. This was Paul's toy chest when he was a boy and we refurbished it.

The stenciling was the final step in the process. It matches her dresser.

After weeks of searching my mom and I found knobs for the dresser. We had seen several types at Lowe's, Home Depot, etc but the knobs we liked were $5 a piece. I just could not justify spending $50 on knobs so I had resigned to using the plain white ones that came on the dresser. After a last ditch effort while shopping at target we found these great knobs:

Believe it or not it was a package of 8 for $15. What a bargain!! We wound up using the white one's on the bottom drawer so it would not take away from the stenciling.

I am not sure how often I will update this blog but check back periodically to see what else we come up with in Avery's World.

Cute pj's, cradle bedding, and daddy's shirt

Okay folks, here we go with the first display of items in Avery's World.


I saw these pajamas on another blog several weeks ago. I immediately went to Gymboree so that I could get a pair because I thought they were so cute.

The bones glow in the dark!!

My mom recently finished the a bedding set for the doll cradle that is in Avery's room.

It is a mini version of Avery's bedding.

In case you don't remember what Avery's bedding looks like here it is:

It was all sewn by my mom.

While at Gymboree getting the pj's, I found this shirt and had to have it too.

The picture is a little hard to read, but the shirt says "Daddy's Girl"

More to come....
