LOVE this Nursery (First Time Fancy)

I’ve been behind on my blog reading lately and was so happy to get a few quiet moments yesterday morning to get caught up while James napped.  My  jaw dropped when I saw the nursery that Kerry from First Time Fancy prepared for her soon-to-be-born daughter.  I just love so much about it!  It’s so whimsical and fun and all of the little details fill the room with such love.

Custom Wall Art

The wall above James’ crib looked pretty barren without anything on it.  It’s a large wall and the first thing you see as you enter the room, so it needed some visual interest.  I debated putting letters spelling his name in the space, then changed my mind and decided to make my own framed art using an illustrated book.  (I did buy the letters to spell James, but think I’ll use them in his bathroom instead.)  I had 2 frames already that I could reuse and just bought two more, figuring 4 would fit the wall nicely.  The frames are from Target and a little pricey at $17.00 each (11×14 inch frames and 8×10 mat).

I’ve always thought that these little wooden animals at Hobby Lobby were adorable, and for only 67 cents each, I was wondering what I could do with them.  I decided to make a coat rack for James’ nursery. I bought the wooden, unfinished coat rack at Hobby Lobby for just a couple dollars and simply spray painted it white. Then I used a glue gun to glue the little animals to the rack.  We affixed the rack to the wall using velcro adhesive stickers. Voila!       I think it turned out pretty cute,

How fun to have a wee little one to decorate for!   Here’s a glimpse of the beginning of the nursery:

We have a crib very similar to this and matching changing table:

I was initially thinking of doing some type of mural and found this adorable image:

I ultimately decided against the mural since we have wainscotting, but I still loved the scene and colors so I decided to do a play on a jungle theme.
