All of the important elements for Justice's room are complete. The furniture, bedding and curtains are ready and waiting. From the start I've been picking up inexpensive accessories for her room as I've been out and about. She already had some of her own. Plus an impressive menagerie of stuffed monkeys. So I didn't want to clutter things up too much.
To start with I went shopping through my late grandmother's garage. It's where nearly the entire family throws their cast offs. I found a pretty basket with flowers that matches our color palette. Also, a little wooden shelf.

One day Justice and I took a trip to The Dollar Tree for inspiration. I love looking around there, keeping an open mind and then repurposing things I find. We got a cute silver look tray, three candle holders and three votive holders.

| These will be used near her desk to hold tacks and clips |
Another great source for cute things is the $1 section at Target. Where I found very cute office supplies and a little tin to use as a pencil holder.

Nana had a frame on hand that is all wood and unfinished. On painting day, I added it to the pile of things to be painted. Then later embellished it with some monkey buttons I found and a flower that Nana crocheted to go with the lamp shade. I also covered a button with one of the fabrics. Then finished it off with a picture of little Justice.
