The Boys' Room.. Progress

I've been working on a few projects for the boys room.. its far from finished, but we're getting there.. the crib will be the last thing to go in. Seth is crazy about Bambi and Thumper, so we thought a Bambi nursery would help ease the transition into being a big brother.



This weekend's project was a pillow sham for Seth's bed. My only idea was to do something with blue gingham trim, to tie in with the baby's crib bumper pad. I bought what I thought was a solid panel of light blue for the center, a remnant from Wal-mart.. which turned out to be this pretty pattern of clouds and birds. I recently discovered cotton inkjet sheets and have been having fun using them for nursing t-shirts, so i thought of using one to add interest to the pillow. I asked Seth what words or pictures he would like me to put on his pillow, and his immediate response was "John 3:16!" And so it is.







A few weeks ago I sewed blue gingham liners for these two grass baskets, which i'll use to hold blankets, burp pads and such in the changing table. Another grass basket is holding Seth's pullups.
The major project for room was the Bambi watercolor on canvas, hanging above Seth's bed. After that was the bible verse for the wall above Daniel's crib (the crib will be there soon, hopefully.) I didn't make the bambi curtains but i found a steal of a deal on them and the border at a Burlington moving sale. I did make the sun shade for the boys' window to keep out those early morning rays. Then I just embellished some cheap wooden letters with moon and star cutouts and painted the boys names on them to hang above their beds.
As you can see, Seth really likes his room.
