We’ve been passing the time waiting (nope, baby isn’t here yet) by working on our sewing projects, one of which is a toddler bed-sized quilt. We used the leftover popcorn chenille from the crib bumpers (haven’t finished those yet – still need to do the bias trim, so I don’t have pictures), green linen, yellow…
These weeks have been passing so quickly! I can’t believe it’s already April! I finished putting the organizers up in the nursery closet. We don’t have a dresser, but I don’t think we’ll need one with these handy shelves and buckets. I’m almost packed – I have all the baby stuff in a suitcase, but…
I love how they turned out! I haven’t finished the third one yet, because I accidentally messed up one of the papers, so I’ll have to make another trip to Hobby Lobby for another sheet of the yellow. I ended up buying the frames from Art to Frames on Amazon. They were reeeaaally cheap, and…
I found the perfect curtains for the nursery at IKEA! I love them, and they’re going to go perfectly with the crib bumper and skirt Mom and I are making. They just need to be hemmed, which luckily with these curtains doesn’t involve a sewing machine. They are an easy iron-to-hem curtain, which means you…
Katie sent these pages from an old children’s book that had been damaged. I’m going to trim them up and mount them in frames with these yellow and orange colors as matting (thick, textured paper because I couldn’t find photo mat in the color I wanted). I’m headed to IKEA with a friend tomorrow, and…
I meant to put some before and after shots of the crib! Here it is pre-sanding: In great shape, just a couple nicks here and there, but too dark for the nursery. After sanding: And after 3-4 coats of paint: I definitely think it was worth the work :). The only other things I plan…
I love how the color came out! I’m glad I went with the lighter yellow – it turned out to be the buttery, creamy yellow I was looking for. Plus, when the sun hits it, it is very bright and cheerful! I’m going to take better pictures tomorrow – these are from late last night,…
I opened a box in the mail from Katie yesterday, and found these adorable vintage items: A beautiful mobile with handpainted wooden figures: A crib activity center – the SAME EXACT one we had in our cribs as babies! I love them both. So cute!!! I still haven’t finished painting the crib – I’ve got…
(Click photo to enlarge) I created this collage a while ago from googled images of whimsical nurseries – I love birds, trees, fairies – and images from one of my favorite childhood books. Just thought I’d share it with you…
