Oh Baby!...nursery...

I have so many plans for our little man's room! Before my husband and I do anything though, we have to go out and buy paint...then it can all finally come together!
I am going to the LA fabric district tomorrow morning with my grandmother and while I am there, I will be buying lots of fabric for the nursery for all the little projects I have in mind :D I can't wait! ::sigh::

On the opposite wall where we are having the tree, fabric leaves, etc...The rocking chair will be in the corner and I need to find a decent size rectanguler frame to hang up on the wall above the rocking chair. Sort of like this frame...but without a picture inside! {Just the frame}

Inside of the frame, the background will be painted a different color than the rest of the wall and I'm going to grab some paint brushes and color and paint inside of it:
"You are my Sunshine
My only Sunshine
You make me Happy
When skies are Gray
You'll never know dear how much
I Love You
Please don't take my Sunshine Away"

Yesterday, I went to Michaels and I bought this large white letter L {stands for his name :)} which will sit on the shelf by where the frame will be as well as a little teddy bear, picture frame, and any other cute little baby boy trinkets.
Ok, so enough about some more of my projects (lots more to come anyways)
I was browsing the internet this morning and found some other really cute ideas for baby nurseries :)
Here's a room for a baby girl that is sooooo cute and unique!
I love how different the color pallete is! Although pink is my favorite color, these colors together look adorable and feminine without going over the top girly!

I also found this super cute owl themed nursery for a baby boy :)

Hope this gives you some inspiration for your own nursery room :)
Now it's time for me to go work on some hairpieces! Have a beautiful day everyone!

Frames!!

I have been looking for vintage/shabby chic type photo frames for a long long time and when I would find them (online would be the only place) they would be like $10+ just for one (not incl. shipping)!!!


So, I am excited to say that after going into Ross just to look around...I found several frames like these for $6.00 and I didn't have to pay shipping! I figured I wouldn't find frames like these anywhere else and stocked up (I walked out with 8)!

My plan is to repaint them and use them at my baby shower, the baby's room, my friend's wedding, & where ever else they could be useful :) I feel accomplished! lol

My next find is for a large frame similar to these for the baby's room to put on the wall and I will paint the "You are my Sunshine" lyrics inside of the frame :)

Treeeees :)

I have always been obsessed with trees! Beautiful trees! I just love the way they are captured in pictures and the different ways to use them as decor in events-whether it's covering the branches in lights for an elegant night display, hanging lanterns, garland, crystals, ribbon, etc. from the tree to add ambiance or even just having a beautiful tree as a backdrop to capture and draw the eyes in to the main event!

Here are some ideas and photos that I love!!

There are so many ways to "dress up" a tree with easy DIY projects to add something unique or even to just have a beautiful tree apart of the main event! Hope some of these photos inspired some thoughts and maybe even some projects to have fun with! :)
