This may be baby number 4, but it is the first time I have ever decorated a nursery and I had so much fun!! It was honestly my stress reliever the last couple of months before Darcy's arrival. I didn't want to spend a lot of money, and I have really been wanting to de-clutter so for the most part I was able to remake and re-use stuff I already had around. I loved the look of a lot of tree decals I was seeing on pinterest, but they are kind of pricey (most running about $100), so I contemplated just using white contact paper and doing a simple sillouette until I came across a wood grain contact paper at the dollar store. I bought one roll and just free-handed the trunk. Then I made tissue paper flowers and attached them. I' m quite happy with the way it turned out. The vase and frames I already had and just spray painted coral and cream. I already had the flowers in my stash and just had to arrange them. I covered cardboard orange boxes with coral contact paper to keep diapers, burp cloths, etc in on the shelves. The Winnie-the-Pooh bookends are mine from when I was younger and I made a changing pad out of a foam mattress cover that Derek and a friend had mostly pulled apart. I made the cover from leftover fabric my mom used in making my nursing cover.
My mom made the crib set and Raggedy Ann and Andy. Jeff's mom made the quilt which was given to us when we got married. I made the poms and pennant banner. So much fun to put together and so much fun to sit and enjoy while nursing her!Sunday, August 18, 2013
