Baby & Big Girl Room - Part 4 - The Other Walls

Pin It

Okay, today I am going to share how these walls came together...

First up is "the sun" as Avery calls it. When I told her that the new paint color in her room would be like the sky, she asked if there would be a sun. I didn't think there would be until I found this treasure for $3 in the clearance aisle at Hobby Lobby. It just needed a quick change in fabric. I tore off the back, used the pink polka-dot material as my pattern, cut out the yellow fabric I wanted, and glued it on...

Super easy, cheap, and it was "the sun" that Avery had requested. It was a pin-up board that came with adorable crystal push pins. I personalized it with an old flash card, a newborn photo of me, a picture of my Mom when she was little, and then a bigger picture of my girls together...

Next up were the oval frames on the other wall. My Mom just had these oval beauties laying around her house. I love me some oval frames so I was thrilled. They were perfect for the girls' wall and free! I painted them black first. Then I used delicate white with pink dot fabric as my background for silhouettes of the girls. I used the 'ol print and trace method. I took pictures of the girl's profiles, printed them out the size I needed, traced them onto black paper, and cut them out.

I taped them to the fabric, popped the glass back in, and admired the finished product. The one of Mia just makes me smile...

The next mini project for the wall was the sisters sign. We have so much beadboard leftover from our nook project that I am always trying to find a use for it. I had used some for a giant ruler and now some would be used for a sign. I just had my husband cut a piece to the exact size I wanted. I looked through my stash of cardstock letters and found the perfect ones. I traced them onto the board in pencil, and then painted the letters black...

The final touch was adding pink ribbon with spray adhesive to the back for hanging...

I used the white shelf that had already been in the room under the sisters sign. I have a serious love of Little Golden Books and am lucky enough to have a few from when I was a little girl and sweet friends who give them to me as gifts. I found 3 that were just perfect for the room.

I added a pink hanky and some old blocks that I found at the Country Living Fair this year and it was complete...

So, that completed the other walls and now the room is shaping up quite nicely and almost ready to be fully revealed...

I'll be linking to these parties this week. Check them out for some serious inspiration!

Come back next Tuesday for the final part of this series. I can't wait to show you the rest of the details and the whole finished product. I'll let you in on the paint color and even tell you where those perfect little birdie decals came from just in case you are wondering...

Happy Tuesday!
