The Nursery

Putting together the nursery for Jamie was one of my favorite projects while I was pregnant.  I love the way this room turned out!

First, I painted the walls; three blue and one yellow.  I went online and found free coloring book pages of owls.  I printed them out and used them to create stencils with quilters plastic.  I drew (erased, and drew again) all of the trees and branches on pieces of paper I had taped together, cut them out, taped them to the wall, traced, and painted.  I can't freehand to save my life, but I can trace!  Here are some of the details:






I bought some wooden letters and decoupaged them with scrapbook paper that matches the fabric for one of the quilts I made (OCD much?) and hung them over the crib:

I bought some pom-poms off of Etsy and hung them over the changing table.  I then used my Etsy-purchasing skills to have a growth chart made with his name on it:



One of my favorite purchase for the nursery (also from Etsy) were the Twinkle curtains for the window.  They are black-out curtains, but the woman who makes them cuts star-shaped holes in them to create different constellations.  I am a Pisces and Charlie is a Scorpio so I bought one panel of each.  Here they are with the lights out:

Then I added a few shelves for pictures, lovies, and whatnots, stocked the changing table and closet, added a recliner and a rug, and voila!  Cutest.  Nursery.  Ever.  Here is the finished product:
