I still haven't entirely figured out what I'm putting up on the walls but I have a great start - I bought some prints from Etsy (here) a while back and got them in last week. They look great in the white frames I had bought a month ago and will be super cute on the walls. I did buy some more wood frames and spray painted them white - they are different sizes and will work great in the collage of prints I'm thinking of doing.

I bought this large "C" which was originally a glossy black/gold color, so I sanded it down and spray painted it a bright yellow. Nick & I decided the yellow was too bright (I believe he called it "Wayne State yellow"), so I'm planning to check out other shades of yellow to find one I like better. If I do get this to work, my plan is to hang this on the wall above the crib and hang a black frame around it - no glass or back on the frame. We'll see...

I picked up these letters for $.99 a piece and decided to spray paint them metallic silver - I'm not entirely sure what I'm going to do with them yet - either hang them or incorporate them on the dresser, book shelf...somewhere in the room. I really like the way they turned out!

I had been looking at some mobiles online to hang above the crib, but the ones I wanted were SO expensive and I'm trying to refrain from overspending on the nursery decor. So....I found some different ways to create a focal point and the poofs were my favorite. Plus it was VERY easy to make:
For the first "poof" I used 10 sheets of yellow tissue paper. |
Fan out the paper very carefully (it tears easily). |
Pull the fanned tissue paper out piece by piece to form your "poof" - then hook a piece of fishing line through the floral wire to create your "hanger." Voila! |
Then it was onto the biggest task of the day which was completing the stripes on the accent wall - what a pain! I finally got them done and straight - expect to see pics posted soon....
All of your nursery pics look amazing! I love the colors and the stripes on the wall - good work!
