June's Room - Almost done!

It's almost complete! I hung the vintage wallpaper print & my grandma's vintage lamp,

Got the crib from my mom who drove it out from Minnesota! This is the crib that I slept in! My dad sprayed it white (said it was a PAIN, but looks great, eh?).

Ready for the wow factor? The quilt my mom made!! Isn't it just pure perfection????? The picture doesn't even do it justice.

My mom also surprised me with a mermaid doll using matching colors/fabrics! This doll was based off of the Black Apple Doll pattern found on Marthastewart.com.

After some thought, I decided to make the mobile rather than buy it. So I pulled out Max's mobile from storage and took it apart. Here it is before:

And here it is after!

I recovered the arms with coordinating fabric and tied on strings of clear faceted beads, capiz shells, little seashells & wooden seahorses bought from Michael's which I painted coral & drilled holes in the top.

And below you can see my take on the latest trend of using embroidery hoops as decor! I just used the fabrics I bought for the room (Heather Ross's Mendocino collection) and some vintage chenille (the tangerine fabric) and a scrap of coral/white polka dot I had bought years ago. Then I did some embroidery work on a few of them. On the largest one, you can't tell, but I did some bead work, and then one hoop I embroidered a "j" and on another I embroidered "june" by printing out what I wanted on my computer in the size I wanted and then I pinned the paper design (right side down) onto the backside of the fabric and then embroidered right over the design! It was a quick & easy project & I think it turned out pretty cute!

Only thing left are the little bookshelves that I still need to spray paint white and hang on the walls! Pictures to come! :)
