I know this post is a little late but I think it's fun to see baby rooms so I thought I'd post some pictures of the things I did in preparation for James' birth. I don't profess to be an amazing decorator, but I had a lot of fun getting this room ready. Before James was born I loved to just sit in the rocking chair and picture myself spending time in there with my new little guy. So here we go...
I made this bulletin board with a cork-board and burlap. I sewed the bunting flag (you'll see that I went a little nuts with the bunting flags) and bought the letter cards on etsy.
It's been fun to have a place to put little keepsakes.
This next picture mostly highlights the fingerprints on the changing table, but it's supposed to show you the blankets, quilts, and burp cloths I sewed.
My grandma made these embroidered quilt blocks in the picture below for me when I was a little girl. My mom never got around to sewing them together so I decided to use them for James. My mom redeemed herself by staying up with me one night until 2 AM quilting and watching Modern Family.
I gave Spencer's baby bedding to my sister before I found out I was pregnant. She decorated her little boy's whole room around it so she bought me this crib bumper from Pottery Barn Kids so she could keep mine. I sewed the little pillow. I didn't sew the cover big enough for the pillow insert I had so I ended up sitting on the pillow while I sewed it shut. Next time I'll give myself a little more room for the insert.
I found this lamp at the D.I. for $3. It was a yucky brass color so I spray painted it white and added the lamp shade. I told you I went a little nuts with the bunting...
These pictures hang above the crib. I bought the prints from etsy and painted some frames from Ikea green and added the blue mats.
I sewed this car seat cover and the curtains behind it. The curtains were the trial of my life for about a week and I will never sew curtains again.
But by far this is my favorite thing that I made...
my sweet little baby boy!
