Let's be honest, before our children can speak for themselves, the way the dress them, the way we decorate the nursery before they arrive and the birthday parties we throw are more for us than they are for them. However, I still think is important and I always make sure Elia has fun and enjoys the process just as much as I do specially when I'm working on a new project. Also, Elia is almost 1 and a half years old and because I'm not going to hold my breath until somebody figures out how to slow time, I'm now accepting that's just a fact of life and might as well enjoy the ride. Having fun and making every transition of her life exciting for my little one and our family makes it easier to get over the emotions of watching her grow so fast! Redecorating her room was so much fun! Even tough Elia can't say "Mom I want the neon fuchsia polka dot wallpaper", I wanted her room to represent her in some way. At 16 months, this little lady already has a big personality and that is sweet, bright and expressive. Because I didn't know who my baby was before she was born, when I was pregnant and nesting, I decided to go with neutral and soothing colors for the nursery, gold, beige, brown and very few accents of soft pink tones. As Elia keeps growing and I'm getting to know her, I have been making changes here and there but I knew I wanted to change the theme of her bedroom from soft to bright colors and include some Peruvian accents. As you may know, I was born in Peru and I want to make sure Elia is raised knowing that she is a beautiful mix of Spanish, Peruvian, German and Norwegian roots. Llamas have been trendy for the last couple of years so it was super convenient and easy to find beautiful decorations for her room just about everywhere. My family also spent Christmas with us and my mom had gotten Elia a beautiful Peruvian doll and poncho which now are part of her room decor. I also redid her canopy tent. I gently took all the flowers off the canopy and replaced them with little pom poms I purchased on Amazon. I also pained her toy chest white which created a nice contrast with the Peruvian blanket where her "babies" as she calls her stuffed animals, now sit. You can see the original canopy and wood toy chest here! I have to say the piece I love the most is the "Chismosas" painting. It belonged to my grandmother who recently passed away. I was so lucky to travel to Peru last year and say good bye, I was also lucky that my daughter met her when she was 6 months old and for that I feel truly blessed. When we were at her house, I saw this painting in her dining room and I remember I always liked it. After she passed away, my dad flew back to Madison and surprised me with the painting. I could not have found a better place for it and now Elia has a little piece of her great grandmother in her room.

Te felicito por tu buen gusto en la decoración cuando tu pequeña era una bebe y ahora con los cambios y sobre todo que dentro de la decoracion pongas detalles de tus raices hispanas y europeas es muy lindo. Nuevamente mis felicitaciones.
