(at night, the light makes it peach.....it's really....ahem.......pink!)
I am amazed when I walk into this nursery - just like Dahlia's room - a hush comes over it. It's like there are fairies (or angels) silently flapping their wings so as not to disturb the peace of the forthcoming event. A new baby!
It's a tiny room really. We built it into a corner of the loft (which is a third floor we added on just before we got Dahlia). It was to be mostly a creative space (about 600 sq. ft.) for our music equipement and my art studio with a huge 10 foot cathedral skylight.
A tiny room calls for tiny rockers. One for mama and baby, one for big sister!
This little bunny says that sweet prayer when you pinch it's leg. "Now I lay me down to sleep........". Dahlia has a similar one she got from her Godmother (my beloved Tash) - and we listen everynight as the last thing just before our final kiss.
Soon, my darling, very soon you will be home Milana.....at last.

It was to be mostly a creative space (about 600 sq. ft.) for our music equipement and my art studio with a huge 10 foot cathedral skylight. Well, my art studio is now shoved into one corner (I still get good light), the music equipement is all behind closet doors and the loft has now surrendered itself to Dahlia's playroom (and soon to be Milana's too).
So we built a tiny bedroom so Milana will have a space of her own because I think it's so important that we all have a place where we can close the door and call our own - even if she hops into Dahlia's or Mommy's and Daddy's bed from time to time.
Sweet face!

Hi, I'm Wanda. I am a happy woman, wife to Danny for...oh....lots a years and finally Mom to THE most adorable little girl from Hunan, China - Dahlia. And now we have been blessed again with another daughter, Milana, from Zhejiang, China. (The 2 best things I've ever done!)
We live in the Montreal area. After a loooonnngg wait for Dahlia's little sister Milana (pronounced - Mee-lana, like banana), we finally brought her home in August 2009. Dahlia came to us in Nov 2004 (at 20 months of age)and a year later we began the application for another baby - at the time the waiting period was around 8 months. Almost 4 years later (say what!?!)we, at last, brought Milana home.
This began as the story of our journey to bring Milana home and life with her big sister, Dahlia. It now continues as we live as a family of four!

It is just beautiful Wanda!!!! It looks peaceful, sweet and full of love... and I just had to laugh when I saw the adorable little clothing there. It looks like she will be perfectly coordinated with her big sister :) I can't wait to see pictures of her peacefully sleeping in that beautiful bed. It really won't be long now, I am so looking forward to following along with you!
Oh Wanda..... That is a room which dreams are meant for! It is majestic, peaceful and so exquisitely beautiful! All of the special, loving touches you have put into making this room so incredible is so heart-warming. And the rockers.... well the rockers are the sweetest, fluffiest icing on the cake! It really looks so peaceful and inviting and brimming with love. Milana will settle in like she is sleeping in the clouds. Heavenly!
You did a great job! And fast! You can do anything when time is short and the goal is one that makes your heart sing.
Keep smilin!
How exciting to think that in just a few weeks Milana will be sleeping in that beautiful crib in her own little paradise!
Wanda, I'm almost(almost) without words. And that is rare :) ; this is without a doubt one of the most beautiful and enchanting spaces I have ever seen. So much love, care and inspiration have gone into its making and Milana will feel cherished in this sweet pea room.
The wee rocking chair next to yours is beyond precious and how special both of your girls will feel....together at last!
I believe our tastes are similiar as I did Lauren's nursery with touches of vintage, shabby chic and always feminine. Its a dream room for a sweet baby girl who is a dream come true!
Just days away now....until your happily ever after.
Hugs, Lisa

It's a lovely room and you have done well with a small space. We wouldn't have known it was small until you mentioned it. You have a wonderful eye for decor.
