Nursery, Part 2

Michael decided to tackle the piles of paperwork on Sunday.  So I decided to tackle some nursery projects.

I started by hanging up pom poms.

I ordered them from this etsy seller.

This actually took much longer than I thought.  I had to open them all up.

Michael had to actually hang them for me.  I couldn't reach the ceiling... even on the step stool.

I ordered the ten pack because they were on sale.  I wasn't planning on using all 10.  I figured I'd use 7 or something.  Turns out 9 was perfect.

I'm not sure if you can tell, but there are actually 3 different colors of pink.

They are very close together in color.  I had to go with the 3 lightest pinks available.

I'm so glad I did.  I was tempted to go with a brighter pink, but I don't think it would have looked as good.  Also, they came in 5 different sizes.  Although some are pretty similar.

After taking forever to hang poms, I used some more of the clear push pins and hung the quilt.

Since I can't paint a tree on the wall... and the quilt can't be used on the baby anyway... this added some more color and decoration.  Love it!

Next, I hung the "O".  I found the frame at Hobby Lobby for 50% off.

I have no idea why I can't take a straight picture.

I promise the frame and O are straight.  I even took 3 attempts at this picture.

Apparently pregnancy has thrown off my balance?!  When all else fails... blame it on pregnancy! :)

I found this cute little glittery bird at Buy Buy Baby.

It's hard to see the white glittery outline, but it's super cute.

I hung it right above the changing table

There was a really cute picture I saw at a baby boutique.  It was pink and had birds and flowers.

Unfortunately, it was a small fortune.

After looking at their online selection, I found a smaller (and cheaper) picture that I liked.

Plus, I liked that it wasn't pink.

It was still a little pricey, but I felt justified. :)

I am having a make shift nursery with no paint, etc.

One sort of expensive picture was OK in my book.

I also like that it has green (and some blue) in it.  It will work when we paint the room green.

Target has a few things that are made by the same artist.  I bought the nightlight.

I ended hanging the extra pom pom on the other side of the room.

I actually hung the curtains with clear push pins.  Yep, I did.

Mostly because it's temporary.  

But also because I didn't feel like trying to drill curtain rods in apartment walls.

I bought some wall decals at Target as well.

Unfortunately, we have textured walls (it's a Texas thing), so I'm not sure they are going to stay up.

My sister Rockie sent us this sign.  

It came the day before decorating, and I decided to hang it above the door.

Again, you can't tell, but it is very glittery. :)

Another look...

 (See, the O is straight!)

I plan on getting some floating shelves for above the changing table.  

I just haven't found any I like/that match.

I also left a space between the changing table and crib for the diaper champ.
