Our Little Girl's Nursery

OK so here are the pictures of her nursery that we have been working so hard on, We went with a light pink and gray color scheme and I have to say although unusual I think that it came out very beautiful. I made the rug, mobile lamp shade and some burp cloth's to match. I will list the directions or link to directions below.

 OK so as you can see I used the same material in the burp cloth's, rug, and lamp shade and It looks pretty darn good If I do say so my self. As far as directions go let's start with the lamp shade because it was the easiest of all the projects. It is just a self adhesive lamp shade from Hobby Lobby and it gives you the pattern to cut out of your fabric and you just stick it to it and finish of the inside trim with a hot glue gun. O and I used a 40% off coupon that you can pull up on your smart phone and saved even more money so I'm sure you could apply this situation pretty much to any lamps that you would like to make for your home. For her burp cloth's I used the Cotton Diapers and took the material and cut it to fit the middle most absorbent part and just ran them through my sewing machine and they came our great and they match here is a Link to the directions with a step by step process. Burp cloth Tutorial from a fellow blogger that post's great stuff.

 The hobby horse that you see that was a gift from my Husband's mother she loves it and His name is Wilbur lol.

 I particularly LOVE her Crib bedding I ordered it from Carousel Bedding and It is super pretty and soft. You can order all types of customized bedding from there site. Babybedding.com . I just love the pink and gray together it looks pretty yet fresh.

  I also made this rug for her nursery because I just couldn't find one that matched. It took quiet a bit of time to make one this size but was totally worth it. It is made from the skid proof rug backing and about 5 yards of a jersey/ T shirt type of material. I got this Idea from I site I'm addicted to called Pinterest and It worked like a charm and you can pretty much personalize it to your hearts desire.Here are the Directions for  Handmade rug. .Now in their tutorial they use old towels, but I prefer the jersey material because when you cut it and stretch all of the little pieces you don't have to worry about the edges fraying and making a mess it looks nice and neat.      

           

                                         

 For her Butterfly Mobile , now that was a different story it was not as easy to make I took a embroidery loop and covered it with white ribbon, then cute our a million little pink butterflies from heavy card stock that I got at the craft store and glued them to fishing line in a chandelier  type effect and it just looks darling hanging from her ceiling. I got the idea once again from Pinterest. Here Is the link to more extensive directions . Directions to Handmade Butterfly mobile

But overall  I Think that everything came together beautifully I am very happy with the results. Now all this picture needs is our sweet little girl then it will be perfect.
