DIY Nursery Wall Art

My friend Kim has a new baby girl and created the cutest wall art for her baby nursery.  Here is a perfect DIY project to create beautiful and low cost art work for your baby boy or girl nursery.
She found lots of cute paper and used hole punch-outs and shapes to put these designs together.  I love the above bird wall art above and how it turned out!  I love the layering of the paper and the colors that were used.



 She also created a "I Am a Child of God" framed artwork and used many of the same paper that is used in the other frames.  I love the colors here as well, this would be perfect for both a boy and girl room. 
I love this elephant design with balloons.  So fun and playful, it looks like she used paper for pretty much every piece of this wall art even from the balloon strings.  I like how she put this art piece together, the colors stand out and look great.
Ta da!!!! Look how great these turned out.  They still needed to be put in their frames, but how cute for her new baby girl.  These will look amazing in her baby nursery.

Orange Baby Shower Inspirations

Here are some very cute orange baby showers that I have found online.  Orange can go well with a variety of different colors and can be so cute for a baby girl or boy shower. 
This first baby shower is with orange and aqua which look so great together.  I love the cute designs they have with the invitations, food, and decor and how they put this cute baby boy shower together.

This baby shower used orange and green in their designs which look great together.  They used the right color of oranges and the sign that they put together looks 100% amazing.  I love the layers and layers of paper in the sign and also the cute poms made from tissue paper that are way easy to make.  You can find yummy treats like carmel apples, cupcakes, cookies, and other yummy munchies. Found at: http://blog.divaentertains.com

This next baby boy shower used orange with blues and greens.  I love the pennants that crisscross and the different heights of the food on this table. Found at: http://tomkatstudio.blogspot.com

The next two pictures are from a "Bright and Cheerful Baby Shower" that used bright orange and pink in their baby shower designs.  The shower was outside and my favorite item was the orange sodas with the striped pink straws.  In the following picture you can see the cute pink and orange baby onsies hanging on a line and umbrellas hanging from above.  Found at: http://theplungeproject.com

Here is another pink and orange girl baby shower.  I love the bright flowers and you can see that they also had orange sodas.  I love the finger food with sandwiches and fruit and the cake looks AMAZING. Found at: http://www.cutest-baby-shower-ideas.com 

This orange and pink baby shower has cute letters "Oh Baby" and cute pacifiers and flowers.  I love how their inspiration for this baby shower was some paper that they incorporated throughout the party (you can see some under the "Oh Baby" sign).  The centerpieces they had with chinese lanterns were a really good idea.

This last baby shower is with orange, green, and creams.  The flowers look so great on the tables, and the cute glasses with milk have adorable signs on them.  Perfect for a boy or girl shower.  Found at: http://rivernorthlove.blogspot.com

Elegant Girl Nurseries

Oh my goodness, I have come across the cutest baby girl nurseries from baby&child Restoration Hardware. These nurseries are gorgeous and have such a beautiful and elegant design and this company sells the main pieces of furniture and decor you see in each room.
The wooden furniture comes from the Adele line and the Millbrook Iron Crib all add such an elegant to this room.  I like how the tan rug gives color to the room along with the walls (a light beige) which makes the white furniture stand out.  The other colors are very light like the pink curtains, or the other cute accessories and stuff animals to give the room some dimension. 

 I love how this next elegant girl nursery looks so different, but some of the elements are the same like the crib bedding and the rug.  They both are exactly the same but in this nursery, I feel the rug doesn't stand out as much because there are deeper colors throughout to tone it down.  The curtains are pinker and other accents (like the hamper) have some of the same tan colors as well.  If you know me you know I love chandeliers.  I love how the chandelier is right above the crib (it's high enough so the baby can't grab onto it) and the curtains look so amazing framing it. 



This nursery uses a crystal pendant and you can find more gold colors in this nursery design.  You still find your white, elegant furniture and this time a white carpet, which creates a clean design.  The purple crib bedding really makes the crib and the wall piece a focal point in the room. 

Ahh, another beautiful chandelier centered over the crib.  I don't know if you can tell, but this crib has posts that rise feet above the crib so you can hang beautiful curtains around the canopy bed if you choose.  My favorite are the placement of their antiqued gilt wood frames that only range $29-$79 but are places symmetrically on each wall.  The wood floors have a beautiful white carpet on top and I think it is beautiful that they added a few pops of dark brown which makes an impact.

This last bedroom is different from the others because the furniture is in a french grey or ivory color.  The two colors go well with eachother, and an armoire is great to have in a nursery to provide a lot of storage and space, but is also so elegant and adds so much to a room.  The frames have L.O.V.E. in beautiful flowery lettering and the pink everywhere flows nicely together.  These rooms are amazing, I love their style and elegant designs.

Sunday Nursery Inspiration: Mariah Carey's Twins Nursery

Mariah Carey's Nursery welcomed her twins Moroccan and Monroe to this luxurious baby nursery.  Celebrities spare no cost to designing a perfect nursery from silk curtains, expensive cribs and furniture, and spectacular lighting.  I love how she has two different cribs but with the same style, one for her little boy and one more girly crib for her little girl.  She used neutrals around the room, and then behind the beds used green curtains and a few matching accents around the nursery.
