Bedroom Ideas for Baby Adrianna!

Ok so I have been working on re-doing Madalynn's room to fit our second baby girl that is due to arrive on September 25! I am really excited about designing the whole thing! Of course the first thing I did was go online to look for some inspiration to start from. Here is what I found:

I love this fabric for the baby's blanket! This is what I will be using for my main inspiration and to design around!


I am going to make 8 of these and put four above each of the girls beds. I think I will be using the colors pink, yellow, white and silver/grey.



I love this pillow! I would love to make something like this to put on the rocking chair in the girls room.



So cute! And I really need to get a side table lamp for the girls' room for reading bedtime stories!

I love this sign! I think that this will be really easy to do with some letters, frame, and some spray paint from Hobby Lobby or Michael's


I think the baskets are perfect! I hope that Madalynn will be completely potty trained by the time the second baby gets here but I watch my niece during the day so I will still have two different size diapers hanging around.

I like this idea. This will be a great way to store some of the books and toys without taking up a lot of room with a toy box.

I found these online and you can have them personalize for a fairly good price. I would love to have one made for each girl.

This will be great above the changing table to hang the diaper baskets from and to store the lotion and other baby stuff that I want to keep out of Madalynn's hands.

I would love to do some personalized frames like this to go in between the girls' beds

DIY Door Decor

DIY Door Decor


I made this M frame for my daughter's birthday but you can do it with the first initial of your family name or anything else you want to put inside the frame.

Supplies:
1. Old picture frame
2. Spray paint
3. 1/4 - 1/2 yard of fabric
4. liquid stitch
5. Scissors
6. Construction Paper
7. Ribbon
8. Staple gun

Steps:
1. First I found an old frame that I thought would look really nice in white.


2. I removed the back of the picture frame so that I could take the old picture out to stray paint it.


3. I made sure there was nothing hanging off of the frame or any dirt or dust on it to get it ready.

4. I put on one light coat of two-in-one paint and primer spray paint on the frame. I go the spray paint at Wal-mart.

5. To make the inside of the bow holder I bought 1/2 yard of fabric of my choice and some liquid stitch to attach it to the old picture. 

6. I cut the fabric so that there was about 2 1/2 to 3 inches on all sides.

7. I put the liquid stitch on the back of the picture to attach the fabric. (This stuff is really easy to use and drys within 30 sec.)

8. I folded in the corners and then attached the rest of the sides with liquid stitch.

9. After I attached the rest of the sides I waited a little bit to make sure it all dried completely.



This is what the front looked like after I was done.


10. Then I took some construction paper and cut out the letter M for my sign. I glued the M onto another piece of construction paper and attached to the fabric covered picture.

11. I put the picture back into the frame and then I attached a piece of ribbon onto the back to the frame to be able to hang it from my wreath hanger.
