Riley's Palace

Riley plays hard and sleeps hard...take a peak in the room that she does both! Since we weren't in our house before Riley was born, we didn't complete this room until she was about six months old. It all worked out perfectly, becasue she didn't really need her own room until she was sleeping her in crib, which started at about six months.

Cody installed all of the paneling and baseboard, we had a company come in and design a closet that would grow with her...everything is adjustable, I painted the room in a dull rose pink and chocolate brown. Riley also has her own tree with birds, and branches as well.

Every night we rock Riley to sleep on the wicker rocker with a blanket and bottle...once we put her into her crib, she tucks her legs under her, sticks her butt in the air and snuggles with her bunnie and falls alseep without a peep (well, most of the time).

We have a light with a timer that turns on every morning at 7:oo am...Riley is learning that we will not get her out of her bed until that light turns on. This also works great on the weekends when we want to sleep in some...we just set the timer to a later time (shhh...don't tell Riley!).

Welcome to Riley's Room..."Poop Happens" quite a bit in this room so beware!

(PS I totally stole this idea from Jen...the photographer that took Riley's 6 mo pics :))





Riley's teak chair with homemade pillow (thanks Granny Annie!)

A cross that we picked up while I was 4 months pregnant after leaving Grandpa Riley's funeral in upstate New York...

Riley's favorite bunny to sleep with laying on the bedding that became the template for her room design...

We have called Riley "monkey" ever since she was in my belly...this hangs above her door...

The birds hanging above her play area...we say hi to these birds evey morning and Riley loves it...she gets so excited to say hi to them and wave her hands. Now when we ask her where the birdies are, she always look up in the sky pointing for them.
