Karis' Room Decor

We are getting so excited and counting down the days until our baby girl is born! We're down to less than a week, and we've finally got the room completely done and ready for her. We are scheduled for my C-section next Tuesday unless she decides to come early...which I would be completely fine with! I am SO ready!

I painted the canvas for her room and

made the pinwheel mobile to go above her crib.

Above the changing table, I hung a cluster of frames and such. I found this chalkboard at a garage sale and painted the edges, hung it from a cute pink ribbon and put a couple felt rosettes on the edge that I made. It will be a fun thing to write on with fun messages, verses and events for Karis. I also hung a frame that I took the glass out of, covered the backing in fabric and hot glued a clip onto the center, so I can clip up pictures. Right now, our one pic of our little one is from her ultrasound. Oh, how I can't wait to hang up a "real" picture of her!

Karis at 20 weeks!

October __, 2012...when will it be?!

Above the dresser in her room, I got this great frame from IKEA and spray painted it pink. I covered the backing in light blue fabric and created this letter "K" out of foam board. I covered the "K" in scrapbook paper and painted the edges to match the frame.

I found this free "You are my Sunshine" printable online.

I cannot remember where it came from, but I love it!

I printed it and got it matted to fit my frame.

Teddy Bear bank and wood frame that I got

at Michael's and painted pink...ready for her picture!

I found this raw wood circle plaque at Michael's and painted it red. I saw these great felt flower tutorials for headbands...and made a couple for Karis...but then I decided to super-size it and make a felt flower to place on the plaque. Once I finished the flower, I hot glued it onto the plaque and voila! Ready to hang!

By the window, we have our rocker and a small side table and lamp. Above it is 2 frames - the turquoise one from Hobby Lobby and the orange frame I made. My amazing friend, Lyndsay, made a bow and headband holder for Karis' room. It is amazing and fits in perfectly to her room.
