Gosh I love Pinterest, I find so many cute ideas!!  I think I am finally finished with Remy's nursery.  It finally feels "complete".  Here is my last project to complete the nursery (well I cannot guarantee that it's the last project for the nursery...). 


There was no tutorial for this.  When I found it on Pinterest it just gave me a link to the etsy seller.  It just looked so easy so I figured out how to make my own.  Pretty simple... I just used fabric glue to glue fabric onto canvas and used a hot glue gun to add the buttons.  Then I glued the ribbon to the back.  Easy peasy.

Not Your Ordinary Bookshelves

Another pinterest project finished!  Remy's nursery is looking more and more complete!  This project was soooo easy and much less expensive than buying bookshelves.  And it's much cuter!  Just a tiny bit of easy-peasy sewing, a few screws in the wall and walla!  Here is a link to the tutorial I used (gotta give credit where credit is due)!!  Now I just need to fill it with books.  :)

Finished product:

Remy's nursery:















I think I started Remy's nursery back in May.  The first thing I did was search for ideas online.  After we found out we were having a boy I decided on the "theme" and started my projects.  Picking a theme was the hardest part.  Did I want to go with an actual theme like elephants, birds, cars, etc.?  I decided that just wasn't for me.  So, I decided bright would be our theme.  I wanted all of the accents in his room to be colorful and fun.  Since there was going to be a lot of color here and there I decided to paint the room a neutral color.  And since my favorite neutral color is gray, that's what I chose.  I found a lady's blog where I stole a lot of ideas from.  This was my inspiration for Remy's nursery: inspiration.  

 After painting his room I started all of my random projects.  I copied my inspiration's fabric hoop idea and the only thing I really changed was that I painted my hoops white.

I also found an adorable wooden horse at a garage sale for $10 and one of my favorite things in my inspiration's nursery was the red painted horse.  So I copied that idea as well:



My next project was the curtains.  I searched and searched online for the perfect fabric that wouldn't cost me a fortune.  I didn't want anything to busy but it had to have color.  So I went with something simple in a bright light blue.  Sewing them took forever because they are lined but it was well worth it.  I love how they turned out.


My grandma really wanted to make Remy's mobile.  She is very crafty and I knew she would do an excellent job so I let her have her way with them.  I gave her my leftover fabric from the fabric hoops and told her I wanted hot air balloons.  This is what she came up with and I love it:

My last project was his name.  This had to be one of the last projects since we had to pick his name first!  But I knew all along that I was going to buy wooden letters and paint them each a separate bright color.


Technically his room is not 100% complete.  There are still a few small projects I want to do and there are a few items missing from his room that we just don't have yet.  But the jist of it is done and I am happy to share it with you all. :)
