The baby's room is finally finished!! It's all organized and ready to go, and Travis was so great to help me put everything up on the walls. It's great to have an outlet for all the creative energies I have stored up all summer, and I love the way that the room has turned out. (I know the baby won't remember any of it, but I sure had a lot of fun doing it!!)
Baby only gets half the room, but I had a lot of fun putting this all together!
The other half of the room is Travis' office and wall of Air Force photos, but we've turned his desk into a changing table, and his office chair is now otherwise occupied. :-)
The border I created around the top of the wall is made out of green and brown ribbon, flowers that I made out of ribbon and paper, and monkeys found at a teacher supply store in Houston. I absolutely love the way it turned out!! And, since Travis wouldn't let me climb on any ladders, he gets major brownie points for patiently affixing all the ribbon, monkeys, and flowers to the wall!
Here's a close-up of the monkeys over the closet...
A close-up of the orange flowers that I made... (There are also blue and yellow ones)
A close-up of the decor over his bed...
The letters are mounted on paper so they will be easy to take down when we are ready to move, and I used command hooks so we won't have to fill in any holes in the walls either! All the ribbon and monkeys are attached to the wall with staples, again so we won't have to fill in any holes, and the decor will be very simple to take down and relocate! :-)
One of the photo boards I made for the room...
The other photo board...
The door hanger that I made for the entrance to the baby's room...
(Again, just paper, ribbons, and monkeys!)
And finally, the cute little collection of monkeys our baby has already amassed!
I know they can't stay in the crib forever, but right now, that's where they are hanging out...
We are ready for this little guy to come home! :-)
