A room for Cole

Remember Cole's room was pink before he was born? I see why its smart to decorate the baby's nursery BEFORE they are born. The only time you have to do such projects is when they are sleeping, but they are always in their room! It has taken 8 and a half months to get everything changed. I still have curtains to make, but you get the idea! I really wanted cute dark new furniture, but the practicality of buying new furniture on your last baby is well....not practical! So I just tried to update what we've had for years.

I feel like Marge Simpson in the big screen movie that came out a few years ago. There is one scene where the house is burning down and she is running out through the kitchen and stops to clean a dirty dish in the sink (sooooo me). We are leaving for Utah in an hour and I told myself that I wanted these pictures posted before we left. Sometimes a good dead line helps you finally get things done you've been trying to do for months. (So Cole couldn't go to bed last night until I finished hanging these brown booties just right, poor kid!!) Oh yeah, the booties and hat were lovingly hand knit by a friend in our ward Ashley who has a link to her awesome hats etc. on the side of my blog under creative links. (Hand knit hats by Ashley)
LOVE these canvas prints
Really like these brown tins that hold diapers/wipes/lotion/onesies
I spray painted these stars blue (they were copper) and added glitter which I don't think you can see in the picture, but I love how it turned out.
My friend Amber has one of those vinyl machines....the letters are 14 inches tall
I made this pillow and the one in his crib.....love this fabric in blue and pink! I also made these slip covers for the cushions on the chair that we've had for years
Cole-man loves his bed....here he is sleeping this morning
We have this blanket in blue now....thank you g'ma Karyl. We love it, it has cartoonie looking animals machine stiched all over it. I wanted to keep this one for me:(
I actually like the bigger stars better that I found for Cole's room

I checked this out last week while I was nursing but didn't have a free hand to comment. It's so cute. I love your handmade pillows and especially the canvas pictures. Looks so professional. Can't wait to do that! (Hope you are having a great time.)

Where did you order your canvas prints from? Cute room. You are so like me, trying to get things done right before I leave to go on vacation that aren't relevant to the vacation. It drives Scott crazy. I've been doing it for 10 years now.
