Here was the first of several projects we did. I found that fantastic Beatles fabric online and used my mad sewing skills to hem it to the right length for a tablecloth (yay for sewing in straight lines!) That lamp was previously...dirty. Is that a color? Because that's the best description I have :) So we painted that and I added the ribbon for a little extra something. April gave me those great pins, that had previously been used on the diaper cake she made for my shower. I think it turned out really cute!
This shelf was the next project we worked on. It was something I salvaged out of my grandma's house after she passed away, so I like the fact that it found a new home in my son's room. It used to be U-G-L-Y...off white and dark red. I spent time during snowpocolypse 2010 sanding it down and prepping it. Then we finally got around to painting it later in the spring.
I'm especially in love with the yellow submarine lunch box that adorns it. Its a gift from Granny Franny :)
The next two shots are just of the cubey storage units we went with instead of getting drawers. Plus, you can see some of the great framed album covers I scored on Ebay. I found 8 all together and I'm anxious to get my hands on a few more. Another big thanks to my coworker, Merridy. She not only sent me a few albums, but is responsible for many of the other items you see. We're both big Beatles fans!
The only project that I didn't get a picture of are the Yellow Submarine seat cushions I made for the rocking chair. I used instructions from my friend Stephanie's blog and it was really easy! Again, just sewing in straight lines...but I really impressed myself by making them the right size. Who knew I could use a tape measure!
Last, but not least...I had to get a shot of the little guy in his crib! Enjoying that mobile again :) I know I'm biased, but is he the sweetest thing or what?!?
yes, he is the most adorable baby. I can't wait to see him this weekend! Laura's been asking to look at pictures of him a lot so I show her the video and pictures on Facebook.
ReplyDeleteI'm maybe laughing because in a year, the nursery will be just a pile of stuff as he rips through it dumping everything. Oh, the days when everything was neat and tidy. On the flip side, at least Laura is at the age where she'll clean up after herself finally.
I totally love it! It's so awesome. That shelf is really cool. What about the shades too? Did you make those?
