Nursery Wall Art

Pictures of the nursery are coming soon, but I wanted to highlight a simple to do and inexpensive art project we did for the wall. I love the vinyl wall decals that are all the rage right now, but we have plaster walls that are textured so the decals won't stick. Soooo I picked up a plain stretched canvas on a frame at JoAnns for $8, painted it pink (it's the Restoration Hardware color - Rose. You can buy a little 4oz sample for $4 which was more than enough paint for this little project), and applied a vinyl decal I fell in love with from The Vinyl Studio on Etsy. The project cost less than $35 and makes a big impact in the nursery!

Liv is here!

Liv arrived last Friday morning. We're all doing well and already madly in love! More posts when it won't interfere with cuddle time.
