He's finally here!!! That means it's high time I finish the nursery! Here's part 1:
The frame was purchased at a local thrift last year for $5. It would be beautiful painted but for the look I was going for the original gold suited it perfectly. I added a cricket cut out I found at a local shop (The Keepsake Cottage) for a bit of whimsy costing me a little over a dollar.
Then I decided to use this old desk as a changing table. With all the little drawers and cubbies it works perfectly for what I needed. For wall decor above I added a large window screen. I purchased this last year at an estate sale for $5, then painted it red and wiped it down with a dark walnut stain afterwards. I found some cute hooks with clips attached that fit right through the screen holes. For now it holds some snapshots of my little one and his name (scrapbook paper).
If you look closely you can see him asleep on the changing pad...love him! Well, that's it for part 1 of the nursery...I wish I could say I got it all done before he was born but it just didn't happen :) More to come soon!
So I have four of these silhouettes all together, two of each kind of frame but all different silhouettes including a fireman, cowboy, boy fishing, and boy flying a plane. I love how simple and clean they look on the wall. And why not have a little fun with chalk board paint...best thing ever! Here's a sneak peek at that...
And here is the other style of frame I am using. These I painted metallic gold and then glazed with black craft paint. Love the boy reading. 
It's all starting to come together and the sooner the better since my little guy will be too big for his bassinet in no time! I still have a chair to finish and a one of a kind mobile for the crib so don't forget to check back for the final reveal.
