Its fun seeing what everyone comes up with!
Here is mine. I did the farm animal theme. I still have many details to finish but you get the gist. I have yet to get the mattress so the bumper and sheet are just laying in there for looks. And the corner by the dresser and rocking chair I have yet to decorate those walls.
And of course the changing table is bare still too. I plan to get much more stuff this month.
And whats cool about the rocking chair is its the one my mom rocked me in as a baby. I just made it more comfy by getting cushions for it.
The letters I made on the computer and the rest are decals I bought. Love decals! And since I can't use that blanket yet I used as a wall hanging.
Enjoy!
Can I just ask, how did you do the letters on the computer? I mean, what paper did you use and how did you hang them? Cuz I'm wanting to do letters as well, but I'm afraid the paper will curl with humidity and not last long. Thanks!
I used my Microsoft Word program and basically just chose what size font I wanted (I think it was like 550) and type of font and then chose what colors. Whats nice with the color is you can pick custom colors which gives you a huge range of choices.
I also added a black border to the letters to make them look sharper. I had soo many options on what I could do with the letters it was fun!
Then I printed out each letter on a separate page ( I had too anyway they were so big and I just used regular printer paper). Then I cut them out and taped them really good to the wall to try and keep the curling down. I taped them on every single edge of the letter so nothing would curl. So far so good. I may add more tape over time if need be.
Hope that helps!
And by the way I love your room! Very creative and love the lavender and butterflies!
Cool, thanks for answering! I may give it a try. And thanks for the compliments! I really love our nursery..tho she won't be in there for the first couple of months, it's still quite lovely mainly cuz I've put so much work into it.
Pichi, I know I can buy em, but I'm reeeally trying to save every little bit I can here n there..lol. Figured, if I can make it, why buy it? That's if it looks good..we'll see
