Welcome to Camp + Asher's room! This room was such a labor of love ;) It was our former office, and acutally the day we accepted Camp's referral I was painting it to turn it into a prayer room! But it was just too fiting that the room I spent many nights on my knees in prayer for our kiddos become their room. The rug (in the pics of C+A) was something I picked out along before we knew who C+A were. I thought maybe it was "too girly" for Camp but when Asher came along I knew it was perfect. Since they share a room, I love that the color palet on the walls & their bedding is totally gender nuteral. Grey & yellow. Their bedding is the same fabric but just switched up a bit to make it look different and our color scheme really carries all the way through. The baby shower's colors were grey & yellow (post here) and a lot of the decor in their room was from the shower - my bestie Jenna made the cute name banners, the pom's hung from the celing are from the shower too.
Most everything else in their room has a story to tell and that's what makes me love it so much. The number balls on the book shelf are from Ethiopia. Alison brought them that cute grey + yellow bowl from Rwanda. Beth painted the beautiful girl in the corner. Camp's mobile is from my first time to Rwanda. The pillows on the chair are from the t-shirts we made for them while we were fundraising them home. And really the list goes on of beautiful things my friends painted/made/brought home them with love! Their room is a sanctuary [well, except while they are screaming while they are supposed to be napping....] and I love every detail!
I had never thought about making the fundraiser shirts into pillows - I'm totally stealing that idea!!
