Sweet Room for a Sweet Girl

Pin It Now that Miss L is 10 months old, I look back at my pregnant self with amusement.  I thought I had to have EVERYTHING ready for the first 6 mo. of her life.  The drawers of her dresser were full of enough washed clothing for her to wear for a year.  I had every kind of baby medicine you could ever need (I still haven't used most of it).  Diapers? Wipes? Enough for months! 

I was baby crazy....and, not surprisingly, I went crazy decorating her nursery too.  I busied myself making lots of accessories and had lots of fun doing it!!

One of my favorite things I did was make "birdie prints".  I was inspired by prints I saw on Etsy.  Instead of buying them, I decided to make the prints myself using scrapbook paper.  I found these frames at Home Goods and spray painted them "Sweet Pea" by Krylon.

 Another favorite project was making decorative buckets.  The possibilities are endless for these.  I put glass jars in one and keep her q-tips, cotton balls, etc. in it.  The other houses her washcloths.  I ordered these vinyl decal monograms on Etsy. Tying little bits of ribbon onto the handles also added a little bit of color.  These were spray painted with the same "Sweet Pea" color as the frames.

 

This ABC board is made of scrapbooking letter stickers, bought at Hobby Lobby.  I didn't trust the "stick" on the back of the stickers to last for a long time, so I actually dabbed hot glue on the back of the letters for reinforcement.  I used a blank canvas and sprayed the finished product with Krylon's Low Odor Clear Finish spray.  I used scrapbook paper to make the little owl, star, umbrella, etc.

The best part of her room, in my opinion, are the yarn-wrapped letters with felt flowers.  These were super easy to make, and make a great focal point in the room.  I used this tutorial to make the letters.  The scrapbook paper flags underneath are the perfect finishing touch!

 

I wonder if I'll have as much time to make accessories for the next kiddo's nursery...I'm guessing no.
