WASHI TAPE Projects in the Nursery

Thank you very much for all your wonderful comments on our Nursery Project!
You are THE BEST!

But the fun about the room is not yet over!

I will be posting a bit more about the space for two reasons: ONE,   I wanted to share with you some more details about this space like the post today, and TWO, I am neck-deep-busy(if you follow me on INSTAGRAM you know,) - threw a belly-dancing bridal shower for a friend, attended a ball (with the kids), planned Mothers day brunch with friends, went to my graduating son's field trip in St. Louis, work, Spring Concert on Thursday, then Graduation day on Friday (with an Autism conference in the morning I want to go to), and finally finishing off my week with a Graduation Party for my son on Sunday!!!! Hew! Sorry for the long litany of things I did and and will do, but Life Happens right? And though I do get tired, I am still so thankful!

Ok, so now you know, ON WITH THIS POST!
I want to share with you some simple updates I did in the room using WASHI TAPE!

Would you believe, it's the first time I used this craft material? And the only reason I tried it was because I got the tapes on CLEARANCE at TARGET?!

Now, I am officially addicted.

I WASHI-FIED this room!

Let's see if you can spot them in the room... ;-)

Added Striped Washi tape on the LAMP SHADES & the Crib!

Washi is on the top railing of the crib

How about here can you see the Washi Tape project?

Look closer...

There they are!

Even our Wipes Warmer got WASHI-fied!

Yup, Dresser top and bottom, including Mr. Giraffe got a dose of Washi too

See? front and back! And on the TV TOO!

Picture ledges become more prominent with some Washi accent too!

I love that it's SO EASY, NOT PERMANENT and REALLY PRETTY!

I know I'm gonna be applying WASHI TAPE even more so after now!!!

How about you? Have you WASHI-FIED anything yet in your home?

Have a Great Week!

ORC Week 6 - SOPHIA'S SAFARI GLAM NURSERY REVEAL

We are at the FINISH LINE! 

LINK UP HERE

And I just want to give a big 'THANKS' to our

Host, LINDA from "Calling it Home" for this inspiring challenge and chance to share our triumphs and failures, vision and dreams, in trying to decorate a room that hopefully will be inspiring to someone else!

I'm just so happy to be able to join this time around and I want to 

THANK ALL OF YOU TOO, my family and friends, for joining me on this decorating journey!

You, other than my baby of course, is my source of inspiration for this room! And I truly appreciate your support!

Let's look at a quick Flashback on what the room looked like when we started...

Remember  this BROWN 'Goodness' everywhere?

Let's go into the details of the CRIB WALL first.

Chose the FLENSTED MOBILE. Thank you for all your input!

The Crib is from Walmart - the Baby Mod Modena 2 which we absolutely love and was a gift from friends.

I shared this Crib decal when I added the FINAL TOUCHES in our Master bedroom/nursery details HERE

Surprisingly Sophia hasn't pulled the feathers from the hat yet! ;-)

I really wanted to incorporate ALL the gifts our baby has received thru out my pregnancy and beyond, so this room is mash of everything that I love, my friends love, and hopefully, someday, Sophia will love too!

Now let's go into the LEFT WALL or CHANGING AREA WALL.

For us, it's perfect

I love how the gallery wall turned out and how the Campaign desk I scored from GOODWILL a few months ago, functioned really well as a changing table (it even has a spot for our Elephant Hamper)! 

I think it will be great as a REAL DESK  or VANITY TABLE  when Sophia is older don't you think?

Had to have a glider right?

We absolutely love this Glider! I moved the rope lamp from downstairs to here and I think it is the perfect height and style for this Safari glam space.

I was able to add a lot of her gifts on the 3 cubbies I added to the side .

Now on to the WINDOW WALL

The Day Bed with trundle is both pretty and very useful

Lots of pillow is key to make this spot comfy

And of course the RIGHT WALL or DRESSER WALL

The Dresser got a quick update with Decals and some Washi tape

The Dresser functions as a FEEDING STATION as well. I needed a place to stash my formula and bottles (Bottle warmer too in the winter), so I placed it here. I also displayed our small vintage toy collection.

I think Nursery Rhymes in a Nursery is the No-brainer! LOL! :-)

Shared this Book display with you last week HERE

A rocker, a bouncer, books and of course toys for our little baby

As you enter the room, this is what you see...

Added Sentimental Frames and mementos on picture ledges

And like any room, you only see 'what it needs' once you think YOU ARE DONE. And that is exactly the case here, so for sure, I will be adding, or even subtracting some stuff along the way!

But as you can see,  our little Sophia has been having a blast in her nursery already!

This is FOR YOU SOPHIA

I will share the Nursery Closet in another post, because that one, will need a whole post by itself! 

I'm pretty excited with that one too for sure, so please drop by again in the next couple of weeks to check in on that little project!

Hope I didn't tire you out just yet, because we have a 100+ more rooms to check out HERE!!!!

I'm so excited to be inspired further with other bloggers' spaces since the ORC yesterday was all the way FABULOUS!
