Pallet for Home

Supplies: Cricut, scrapbook paper, a medium embroidery hoop, string or fishing line, and a wooden bead

First, I cut out all of the shapes using the autofill on my Cricut.

I chose to copy the print and colors of the curtains (except I added a little splash of pink to girly it up!)

Using leftover stain, I stained the inside piece of the embroidery hoop. I also stained a small wooden bead to cover the knots holding the hoop in position.

Using a 16 gage needle, I made holes in all of the cutouts.

Using dark brown string, I tied 3 knots before I strung on a shape.

I did 6 shapes on each string and made 9 strings full of random shapes and colors.

I tied each string of shapes onto the hoop keeping them at similar lengths. Next I tied 3 strings onto the hoop and gathered them about 8 inches above the hoop. I placed the bead here to cover the knot. I then cut and attached a long piece of string to attach to the ceiling.

I finally found the time to take some photos of Marlo's nursery. We welcomed Marlo on July 22nd and have loved every second of our little peanut! While we were pregnant with Marlo, we decided not to find out the gender. Marlo was then known as "Baby W". We attempted to create a gender neutral nursery. The colors were gender neutrual but you could argue that the print of the curtains, rugs, and bedding was a bit feminie. If we had a boy, we decided that we were going to go the "Where The Wild Things Are" route or "Duck Pond" to add a little more masculinity into the room. We ended up having an adorable little girl so we have not made any changes to the decor. Marlo seems to enjoy it so far.

Stripes.....YIKES!

 I purchased an extra curtain and a friend of mine from work (Grace) made the bedding! It turned out perfect!

 See how I redid this frame here.
 I purchased the curtains at World Market and was lucky enough to find the perfect rug at Target!
 Check out how I made the "M" monogram here.
 Our sister-in-law picked up these wall decals from Sherwin Williams. They fit perfectly with our theme!
 I got my inspiration for this wall form this nursery that I found on HGTV's Rate My Space.
Check out how I made the pug silhouettes here.

Overall, we were very pleased with how the nursery all came together. It is a very calm and relaxing room. Check out and vote for our nursery on HGTV's Rate My Space!

A new addition to our dining room courtesy of Abby at Uppercase Living. We love it and can't wait to do more vinyl sayings, project, and artwork around the house! Check out her projects that she has done at her house here!

 After a coat of paint, I followed the application instructions and started adding the vinyl decals.




 Good by martinis and cocktails, hello monogram artwork for our new arrival!

Here is a quick sneak peek of Baby W's nursery. We are waiting for a few more things before I feel like we can call it "done" but here are some "in progress" photos:

The changing pad cover was made from a towel I loved, courtesy of our friend Grace.
