A Picture is Worth 1,000 Words is also having a link party.
I looked around my house and remembered a project I did in the nursery 2 years ago. I was so young and broke with my first 2 kids that I literally had nothing. I never had a cute nursery or a changing table. I changed diapers on the floor or on the bed and forget a diaper genie. There were a few years that I couldn't get pregnant for some reason so there is a 6 year space between my 2nd and 3rd. This time around we were more financially secure (and in an actual home) so I was finally able to create my dream nursery. I went with a bug theme based on a cute bed set that I found. My DH knew someone with a vinyl cutter that owed him a favor, so I designed these "Bee" sayings by President Hinckley and had them cut into vinyl.
I used an old dresser (sorry no before picture, but it was ugly) and painted it white with black drawers (I had a white, pastel green and black theme going on). I put a changing table top on it and finally had my changing table!!! I found this old towel holder that I used to have in the bathroom above the toilet (This is the trash to treasure part) and hung it above the changing table. I sewed a panel out of scrap material to hang on it and hold lotions etc...
It is hard to believe that this was all 2 years ago and my little baby is almost ready for a big boy bed.
cute cute cute!!! I love President Hinckley's "Be" sayings...what a cute way to incorporate the gospel into the nursery!!
ReplyDeleteVery cute. The vinyl looks terrific. Way to "Bee" crafty.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful! Glad you got to have your dream nursery. It really is lovely.
ReplyDeleteBEEEEautiful! I love the idea of using vinyl letters on the wall, so they will come off later when he tires of it. Great idea!
