The baby's room 3 Attachment(s) I just have to share this. We are so excited about the baby that we are already getting started on the baby room. We dont have a lot of money for the room since none of this was planned so we are going are trying to make all of our own decorations but I think this is going to be awesome. We are going to an aquatic/mermaid theme since its a girl and my hubby started painting the room for me this weekend and I already ordered the most gorgeous mermaid fabric to make the bedding, window treats, etc. The room was baby blue (would have been perfect for a boy but thats okay, I love new colors on the wall :p ) but we decided to go with blue green color and you can see it in the background of the pics below. This weekend I painted this Mermaid painting (the mermaid in the painting matches the fabric I bought) and it will be the first of 3 similar paintings to go on the wall hopefully above the crib when we get it. What do you think? I usually dont ever do "cutesy" type paintings so this was sort of hard for me. I used ground up pumice granulars when I painted the sand so its actually feels like real sand and you cant really tell from the pics but I used a lot of paint and and molding paste in this painting so it has a lot of texture which makes it really fun to look at :p I cant wait to get my mermaid fabric in!!! This is sooo exciting!! Its kind of hard finding mermaid stuff that is non-Disney so if anyone happens to see anything at a store or online, please let me know. So far Ive been looking on ebay for stuff and thats where I found my fabric. |
That is so cute! Great painting!! She's going to have the cutest room in town! |
That is absolutely beautiful! You did an amazing job! Wow! I wish I had 1/4 of your talent! |
the paintings are beautiful! wait until she's old enough to realize you made those JUST for her! my son looooves it when people make things for him (my side and his dad's side). he must have 15 special blankets and loves them all. he even tries to cycle them out so no one gets jealous. i love your mermaid! maybe you could take it somewhere and get it screenprinted or embroidered on little tiny things, like the booty of a onsie, a matching baby hat (i love hats!!), and a sweet little blanket for her first trip home. and you could name her "meranda!" and call her your little mer-maid! |
love the colors and you are VERY talented. :thumbup: this is truly an exciting time for you and your hubby :thumbup: |
I didn't know you were an artist!! My, Shana, your talents never cease to amaze me!! I didn't know you painted, too! That is so cute! You did a wonderful job. Can't wait to see the whole room! |
4 Attachment(s) It looks FANTASTIC Shana! You did a great job girl! I love the cutesy-whimsical look for kids rooms - especially little girl's rooms :) It is just so sweet. Here are some pics I thought I'd share of my little cousin Gruenely's room. My cousin (Gruenely's mom) hand painted everything herself as well and it turned out wonderful! She did the "Fairytale/Princess" theme for her and got the Pottery Barn bedding to match. |
You should be so proud of yourself. You did a great job!!!!:thumbup: |
That's adorable. We're going to have to have a baby shower. I love baby showers. |
4 Attachment(s) One more of Gruenely's room (well, it's more like the ceiling lol) :p She hand painted all of that as well - WHILE SHE WAS PREGNANT :eek: Talk about breaking your neck :p The other 3 pictures are of my cousin's Sydney, Kelsie, and Lola Grace's rooms. They just moved to a new home in Montecito, CA - so she just recently sent some pics (although their rooms aren't finished yet). I didn't post pictures of my cousin Taylor's room as she is a teenager now and her room isn't very "sweet and girly" - it is more "hip and cool" lol :p |
