The Monkey Princess Room














I FINALLY got Addy's new room finished! She has been in the master with us since we brought her home at 9 months. She was hooked up to so many things overnight that it was much easier to tend to alarms and problems if she was close. We only have 4 bedrooms and there was no way we were putting the boys back together, they are too different! Jake graciously gave up his room so his little sister could now have a room of her own! He is moved downstairs into an area of the basement. It's not a room but he definitely has his own space and he loves it! The pix aren't very good, the lighting was not right but I wanted to post pix before I forgot! Addy's baby stuff was princess so I wanted to keep that. We decided on a Princess theme since my dad always called me his Princess and I knew if he were still living Addy would take on that roll! Addy also LOVES monkeys! She signs monkey all of the time and it was one of the first animals that she could recognize in books and pictures. Ironically she now signs "monkey" when she wants to watch Alvin and the Chipmunks but close enough huh? So she now has a purple monkey/princess room that is too cute for words!

Her Bed:

Her shelf with things from her birth family and other princess things


My parents gave Jarika this rocking chair when she turned a year old. She thought Addy would enjoy it! The monkey on it was a present from our friend Loriell and the tiara was made by Addy and one of her nurses, Kim! The pillow is covered in a monkey/princess fabric that matches her valance.


Addy's dresser with her monkey princess piggy bank, stuffed animal, princess lamp and an adorable personalized canvas! The knobs are pink and purple and have monkeys on them with glittery tails :)




This is Addy's changing table with her mirror above it. She LOVES her mirror!



Her sock monkey with an outfit that matches her pillowcase and valance.


Her name with monkey princesses blowing bubbles. They even have tiaras on but they are hard to see. I may have to spice them up a bit!
Her Legacy of an Adopted Child poem.

Random monkey princesses around her room.

I actually made most of the decorations. I found some on Ebay but they were either monkeys or princesses but I just asked the people if they were willing to try a monkey princess and they agreed! That's how I got the canvas and her name! The knobs were given a little bling too, the tiaras didn't look right but the glitter is really cute in person!

Cammie it's perfect! My Sophia saw it and said she would love that room, only with frogs!
Are you busy? LOL

Addy must just love it.
