We painted the nursery this past weekend and the room looks great. Its a really pretty yellow color. I found some great vinyl wall decals that I would love to use but they are so expensive I've decided to paint a mural instead. Hopefully it looks as good. Its going to be a tree with some cherry blossoms drifting in the wind in pink, blue and purple. There will be one or two birds perched in the tree as well. It should be really cute.
We bought the fabric for the curtains and cribskirt. I also bought some extra of that fabric for a quilt. If I had gotten those three pieces by themselves I would have spent so much more money. I love being crafty. I got the pattern for the nursery pieces on sale for 99 cents. Its usually 16.95! I was also able to get all the main fabric on sale. Some of the other fabric for the quilt was also on sale so we ended up saving about 40 dollars on the materials. What a steal! While I was on bedrest I started working on a blanket I bought yarn for back in October. Its turning out great and I'm already more than halfway done. With only eight weeks left I've got to get crackin' on this stuff.
The general theme of the nursery is really just a soft, feminine spring. I want it to be bright and sunny all year round like you are walking into a garden. Other than that I really don't have a theme. Flowers and birds I suppose. People have asked what the theme is and I really don't have much of an answer. Its hard to explain. Do I just say its a garden? That's a little odd in my opinion.
I'm going to post pictures of the room so far and the fabric. Hopefully I can pull it all together soon. The first pic is the wall color. It looks a little dark here but you get the general idea. The second is the fabric. I love it. Its just so pretty. The last picture is the general mural idea. I wish I could afford to get a vinyl decal but I can't. It looks great though so if anyone is interested I'll give you the link to the etsy shop.

Very, very cute! So excited for you :D
I love the yellow! It makes everything cheery :-) Have fun sewing. If I was closer I would totally help you!!
As for the vinyl, I can cut out the flowers and leaves on my cricut. I would have to do the tree in pieces and it might not turn out as well. You could buy the vinyl and then just free form cut the tree out.
If I can do anything from the west coast let me know :-) I could cut out stencils with contact paper (it shouldn't rip the paint off) and that might help with painting the mural as well.
love ya!
