The nursery is done! 40 weeks TODAY! :)

Today, November 29, 2011 is our little one's due date! :) Although, he hasn't made his debut just yet, we are ready and waiting to see his sweet little face! I wanted to share the rest of the nursery details we finished and just about 90% of the nursery is done using handmade details by both my husband and I.

I shared our tree made with fabric leaves in a previous post HERE. 

Now, here's the rest of the nursery photos!

{Enjoy}

Here's the mobile I made just yesterday to hang about his crib :)

Buntings above his closet.

I bought these for the baby shower & decided to put them into use in the nursery! I bought them from Oliver Blue Designs.

I painted this frame a while back and added "you are my sunshine" lyrics to fabric for the back. Here's the post I featured including DIY instructions :)

So, it's all done and ready for our little guy to move into whenever he wants to arrive! :) Now, time to rest for a bit...

You are my SUNSHINE

One of the many projects I have set out to create for our little man's nursery is the "You are my Sunshine" frame on the wall where the rocking chair will go. I have always loved the chorus lyrics to the song--"You are my Sunshine" and ever since I found out that my husband & I are expecting, I have hummed the tune to our little baby numerous times.

After finding an amazing frame from the local antique and vintage shop, it took me a couple of days to finish this project & I am really excited and happy with it! :)

This was the frame that my husband & I found before anything was done to it...


I started by painting the frame "antique white" shabby chic.



Then, I found some light green and yellow striped fabric for the background of the frame and started painting away! I painted completely freehanded (no rulers, stencils, etc.) with just the frame laying on top of the fabric so I could get everything as centered as possible.





Once I finished painting the lyrics, I added some color to the inside of the words I left outlined. Then, I attached the fabric to the back of the frame & cut the extra fabric off.







& here's the finished project after my amazing husband put it up on the wall :) (excuse the little mess in the room...we are still organizing)







There's still the fabric leaves I have to finish making for the tree painted on the wall where the crib will go...about 45 more leaves to make and a post will be up about that project! :D
