Nursery Tour, Part Two

It's time for a nursery update! (Is it still considered a nursery when your child is over 13 months old?) I've added a few new and vintage pieces to Gibson's room and I wanted to show them to you.

My incredibly talented SIL painted this sign for G's first birthday! It's the title of my absolute favorite Dr. Seuss book. We first got the inspiration from this one I saw on Pinterest.

I scored this magnetic board from the Fort Worth Indie Craft Show. Check out Just Hang It Designs on etsy. The magnets were a gift for my wedding years ago. Faith, Hope, Love.

I absolutely LOVE this quote I've been seeing all over Pinterest. I added a business card I also picked up from the craft show. It's from Fifiduvie. I also love her, "Baby, Let's be Outlaws!" quote! Check her shop out HERE.

My mom gave Gibson this vintage children's desk for Christmas last year.

I love the vintage decals! Homeschooling is becoming a real possibility, and I can just imagine G reading his little books sitting at his desk!

Forgot One!

Here is a pic that I forgot to include on the last post. It is one of my favorite handmade items in the room. My SIL painted this for a shower she threw for my husband and me. It comes from a poem that John Piper wrote for his granddaughter. We took out her name and substituted our sons name, Gibson.

Nursery Tour


Here are some pics of the nursery I decorated for my son. The walls are painted a dark gray and I used yellow and white accents. The dresser is my absolute favorite find. I payed a wopping $50 for it at a garage sale. I don't think its original owners knew what they were giving up! The fabric embroidery hoops are made from fabric I bought at Ikea and a local fabric shop. I've seen these all over the web and thought they looked easy enough to make. Turns out they are! I promise to post a tutorial on these soon! We found the yellow mirror in our house when we moved in. It was originally gold, my husband painted it red and it lived in our dining room. When I decided on the colors for the nursery, he graciously agreed to paint it for me again!

The bunting on the wall is made from fabrics I found at Ikea and a local fabric shop.
The crib sheets are a yellow and gray damask print that I found at a local fabric shop. Crib sheets are surprisingly easy to make! I found the tutorial here at Made.
