Porter's Room

                                                             Welcome to Porter's Room!

I got the alphabet wall idea from my new addiction, Pinterest.  At my baby shower everyone was assigned a letter to bring.  They could either make or buy the letter.  Let me tell you I have quite a crafty group of family and friends!!!  The majority of the letters were made. They all means so much because family and friends took the time and effort to make something special for Porter's room.

I need to give a special thank you to Mandy and Anne for coming up to help me put the room together the weekend before Porter was born.  They did an amazing job hanging the letters!!!!  I can't thank Mandy and Anne enough for all of their help!!!!!!!!!


This is a dresser that has been in Carl's family for years.  Carl and I started the painting process Sunday March 11.  Our plan was for Carl to finish the dresser Monday night.  Little did we know that Monday night we would be in the hospital.  Carl's dad finished the dresser for us.  Thanks Grandpa!


We have been collecting the vintage UT calendars for a couple of years.  Each month is a different program cover from the 50s and 60s.  We said years ago when we got the first calendar that this would be a great thing to put in a baby's room.  We selected 6 of the program covers to put in his room. 



This lamp was made by Carl's mom when he was a little boy.  She made the football player to look like Carl.  It is too cute!!!!



The rocking horse is from Pappy and Kelly.  It neighs and wiggles it's tail.  Porter isn't ready yet to ride it but the dogs have been very interested in it!

The sock monkey and train were Carl's when he was little.  It means a lot that we are able to share with Porter things from Carl's childhood. 



This is the wall by Porter's closet.  These are all from sweet friends.
