What is up with all the dots???

All the colored dots that I put in the banner bar for little Miss Scarlet's blog page are the same basic colors of round dots that we used in her nursery.

Ginger & her best friend Amy (Aunt Amy below) found some brown fabric with a pattern of colored circles/dots in a store in St. Louis. This fabric along with a matching one of similar colored long rectangles was to be for the crib bumper pads and crib skirt.

It was from this same dot pattern, that we based the design of the entire nursery on. And let me tell you, that little undertaking is quite a story into itself! Perhaps in a future blog post we'll show the "construction photos" and go into the long, over-the-top account of not only painting the room walls, but also painting 50,000 wooden circles of varying sizes BY HAND - and then attaching them to the walls. Of course to be fair, NO Shockley home improvement project is EVER easy or short (for those in the know - recall the "Waterfall" spectacle).

Long story short, the nursery turned out great. Or as G & Aunt Amy would say - "SUPER CUTE"! (Which Daddy is proud to say is fitting of our super cute little girl.) Even our next door neighbor's 8 year old daughter verified it as so and asked her mom if they could re-do her room the same way!

Here's the end result of Miss Scarlet's room:
