Dream big

My friend asked me for this sign for her nursery. I think it turned out so cute, just like her little one! I had this board leftover from when I made my table, and it was the perfect size and already stained! I used my handy dandy Silhouette and cut out some vinyl. I was able to get this made and delivered in less than an hour! :) 

                   

Baby E's Room: Nautical Sea Monster Nursery

I'm SOO excited to finally share this post! I've been waiting for my niece to get here, so I didn't spoil her big name reveal!  July, I flew out to California to help my sister decorate her nursery for her little girl. She wanted a nautical sea monster theme, and I think we nailed it! 

Frames are from Goodwill, Anchor & E, and Octopus are from Hobby Lobby.

Barrel that we turned into a hamper. Barrel is from a store online, and netting is from Michael's.

The dresser and ships wheel were garage/estate sale finds. Lamp is from Target.

They got married on a boat and this sign was there. I recreated it using reclaimed wood, vinyl, and an octopus my sister had bought. 

This E started out much different, but it was on sale, so my sister bought it. Once I had taken off the old embellishments, there was a huge hole. I made this octopus using buttons from my grandma's house that my sister had. I printed off a coloring book page, and hot glued the buttons in it. I then used the Silhouette Cameo to cut out the outline in card stock.

Her favorite peek-a-boo bear from Aunt Joanne.

This rug is sooo soft!

This is what the gallery wall looked like before I painted the stuff. 

Pink Dresser

My sister is an expert garage sale/estate sale shopper. She texted me a picture of this dresser that she found at an estate sale.  It was perfect for the pink dresser I had dreamed about for Little G's room. It was $150. But, it would go half price at noon. She decided to risk it and wait until noon. A little before noon she came back, and it was still there. She sat on it and waited until noon. Another lady was stalking it as well, so Becky just kept waiting. She even went a little early to the register and said she wanted to take this dresser and the one that matched it. She snagged them both for $120. 

The drawers are huge, and the top is perfect for a changing table. 

She bought a can of Annie Sloan Scandinavian Pink Chalk Paint, and when I arrived in Cali, I got started! We wiped it down and took off the hardware. That was all the prep that it needed! 

It took 2 coats of paint, but it turned out awesome! 

Nursery Reveal is tomorrow!
