As you can see, I went with a yellow, grey, and white color scheme. This was mainly because we didn't want to find out the sex of our baby. After we had Chloe, I added some pops of pink and other bright colors with some accessories, i.e. hair bows! Here is my D.I.Y. hair bow holder:
I made the "LOVE" canvas (get a friend to help you paint and stamp your baby's hands and feet! Thanks, Shantel!), hot glued a long ribbon to the back of the canvas, and voila! Hair bow holder.
My favorite part of the room is the gallery wall. I made the "Chloe" sign by painting a yellow chevron design onto a foam board, then adhering the letters. SUPER EASY.
I am in love with the shadow box I made of Chloe's time in the hospital. We were in the hospital a lot longer than most (5 1/2 weeks in the NICU), so it was really important for me to try to capture that time and have it as a reminder of God's protection. I put her preemie onesie, hat, bili light goggles, bracelet, name tag for her door, and name tag for her isolette, as well as a picture from the day after she was born. The background is covered in her hospital blanket that I saved. I typed up two verses that were very meaningful to us during that time (James 1:17, Psalm 112:7) and a little note about her weight, length, DOB, etc.
My sister made the artwork that is over Chloe's crib. LOVE it. Thanks, Molly!
I really enjoyed mixing different patterns within this color palette.
I'm super happy with how it came out. It didn't break the bank either! So hubby is also happy. :)
You are so creative! I'm excited to follow your blog :) This is so fun!
