Small Spaces :: Making Room for Baby Part One

I posted this picture of this sweet little pillow asking you to guess where it was going.

{My sister won by the way on Instagram!}

I also told you I would show you how the corner of our bedroom changed.

This is just the first in a little series we are calling::

SMALL SPACES :: MAKING ROOM FOR BABY

Two reasons for this title.

There are now 6 of us in a 1300 sq. ft. home that was already full of furniture!

And, when it is time for these babies to leave our home

I want baby items to be packed away easily and quickly

to make the transition back to our family of 4 a little easier...

while waiting for the next call for another baby.

The pillow is for our mini crib that now resides in the corner of our bedroom!

Here is the BEFORE and AFTER.....

I have to say the AFTER makes me smile way more than the BEFORE....

even though I adored that burlap chair.

{yes, there is actually a baby sleeping in there in this pic!}

I was so excited to see this new line of portable mini cribs 

and was even more excited when I found it cheaper on Walmart.com than Target!

It looks like a little modern dream of a crib

 but actually folds up flat and fits under a bed when not in use.

It uses play yard crib sheets...same as a pop up crib.

I spent hours scouring the internet looking for the right artwork to put above the crib.

When I saw this piece by be true Image Design

I knew it was the perfect saying for our sweet foster babies

and Christy was so generous to donate it towards our Fostering Love sponsor swap.

Because that is all they need right now....LOVE!
