Although not finished- heres the beginning process for our daughters room. (more pics to come) 
I've painted a couple baby room murals before (see earlier posts) and each time i improve the process. I found out the hard way that sketching  directly on the wall leads to A LOT of painting/re-painting over unwanted pencil lines. Pencil, it turns out, does not go down without a fight. This time i did all my sketching on (to scale) on a large piece of brown butcher paper which i may, or may not, have gotten in a questionable way. After all my sketching and adjusting of curves to get the "ideal" elephant and bird- i simply cut and traced it on the wall. * Tracing with a colored pencil similar to the color i would  be painting with REALLY saved me from a lot of touch up work. OH! and you got to love painters tape for getting straight lines :) 

<--- Not our crib BUT the bedding we will be using. I took all the colors straight from the pillow we purchased (i was too impatient to wait for shower and we didn't want to purchase the whole bedding just in case someone was generous enough to buy it for us)

We LOVE our friends Stacey & Dustin and were more than willing to do what ever we could to make their day special!  It started with a proposal.... for me to design their invitations and OF COURSE i said YES!  This led to designing programs, naturally, and later i had the honor or creating some chalk signs for them too :)

Abbe's First Birthday .... present

My sister gave me a white, moldy-looking, beat-up, ugly, old rocking chair she had gotten from.... i guess the trash? She was thinking Abbe could have it if I was willing to spruce it up a little as a birthday present. I WISH i had taken a before picture of this chair. It was GROSS. The paint was chipping and had some weird gunk on it and the cushions were stained with some terrible floral pattern. 

Anyway, heres the final product. I washed it off, pulled the cushions off, spray painted with some left overs from a different project, and found this SUPER cute fabric! 

Update: Abbe loves it! Although its currently only taken out under strict supervision since she believes its better use if for standing.
