Once we move, it'll be an older baby room, so I'll be coming back to look here for inspiration. She does have a couple handmade blankets, but that's pretty much it.</p> <p>I'm so inspired by everyone's canvases! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-diy-any-of-your-nursery#post-581602 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 06:13:10 +0000 shopaholic 581602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lovejoy: LOVE those prints and frames! </p> <p>So many great DIYs here!

I would hang them in my house.</p> <p>I did a LOT of DIY for C's nursery. Probably what I'm most proud of is her rocker though. I refinished and reupholstered DH's great-grandma's rocking chair. I also painted some sweet canvases for her. </p> [attach=1353/13/mihb8w.450x600.rocker-before.jpg] [attach=1353/13/mihb8y.450x600.rocker-after.jpg] [attach=1353/13/mihb90.600x399.hp.jpg] [attach=1353/13/mihb91.600x400.mo.jpg] [attach=1353/13/mihb93.600x400.char.jpg] [attach=1353/13/mihb94.600x400.blossoms.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-diy-any-of-your-nursery#post-575723 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 12:52:26 +0000 Mrs. Lovejoy 575723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@highwire: Thank you! Love yours too - the signatures make it so sentimental! </p> <p>@FutureMrsMcK: Thank you! That mobile is awesome. You guys are so crafty (yet it doesn't even look crafty - if you know what I mean). We chose places that we love and have been or want to go, and the color of the prints helped in our decisions. Some of the options had really dark colors in them, so we left them out as they contrasted too much. </p> <p><a href="http://riflepaperco.com/item/2013_Cities_Calendar/290/c44" rel="nofollow">http://riflepaperco.com/item/2013_Cities_Calendar/290/c44</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-diy-any-of-your-nursery#post-575721 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 12:51:55 +0000 Mrs. Pen 575721@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I made all his wall art, his bulletin board, paper bunting above his bed, painted his dresser, and made his crib skirt</p> <p>I don't have the pics on my phone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-diy-any-of-your-nursery#post-575718 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 12:51:45 +0000 kiddosc 575718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FutureMrsMcK: That mobile is seriously so cute</p> <p>@Mrs. Cat in the Cradle: That's amazing! </p> <p>@jmarionsmith: Oh I love that mobile too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-diy-any-of-your-nursery#post-575711 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 12:49:32 +0000 sslm 575711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Cat in the Cradle: That's gorgeous!!!!!</p> <p>We've DIY'd almost the entire room. By we, I mostly mean my mom. She made the crib skirt, recovered a glide, made the roman shade, and a chunk of the artwork. I can't wait to put the small finishing touches on so I can share here!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-diy-any-of-your-nursery#post-575702 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 12:48:06 +0000 lovehoneybee 575702@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@highwire: Oh how cool!</p> <p>@BabyBoecksMom: I love the butterflies...so sweet!</p> <p>@Mrs. Lovejoy: Oh I love that! Did you choose random places or places that are important to you and/or your SO? And I love your crib!</p> <p>@jmarionsmith: Oh I love the mobile! I'm happy with what we ended up doing but I saw a hot air balloon mobile on Pinterest a few months ago and wished I had thought of it! So cool! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-diy-any-of-your-nursery#post-575685 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 12:44:33 +0000 jmarionsmith 575685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow! All of the DIY nursery additions are sooo amazing! Our nursery has a "safari" theme and our is centered around our bedding in which the animals are floating in hot air balloons. My best friend and I made a hot air balloon mobile and it is my favorite part of the nursery. </p> [attach=2453/13/mihama.450x600.IMG_0929.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-diy-any-of-your-nursery#post-575662 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 12:38:16 +0000 DillonLion 575662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lovejoy: Lovely!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-diy-any-of-your-nursery#post-575657 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 12:37:29 +0000 Mrs. Lovejoy 575657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are DIYing tons of things for the nursery, but this is the most recent project (it's more of an Ikea hack than a DIY, but I'll include it :). We spray painted black frames gold and took apart a Rifle Paper Co. calendar for the prints. </p> <p>p.s. Sorry about the glare! </p> [attach=2634/13/mihaai.600x600.photo-wall.JPG] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-diy-any-of-your-nursery#post-575636 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 12:32:31 +0000 Bao 575636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs Hedgehog: I found a site online, it was $40 for all the wood (we bought way too much), paint/primer (a whole gallon) and then the wood screws. Something similar to this:</p> <p><a href="http://ana-white.com/2010/10/plans/ten-dollar-ledges?page=1" rel="nofollow">http://ana-white.com/2010/10/plans/ten-dollar-ledges?page=1</a></p> <p>We didn't use wood glue though, just screws. We just screwed them into the wall too, they were very sturdy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-diy-any-of-your-nursery#post-575628 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 12:30:15 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 575628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FutureMrsMcK: Wow! You and your friends are so talented!</p> <p>I cut out a bunch of cardstock butterflies and put them on DD's wall. I still don't like the way that I arranged them, but DH made me promise to just leave them alone :-) </p> [attach=1632/13/mih9yg.600x450.IMG_0013.JPG] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-diy-any-of-your-nursery#post-575616 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 12:26:09 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 575616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>that's gorgeous! @Mrs. Cat in the Cradle: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-diy-any-of-your-nursery#post-575612 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 12:24:39 +0000 DillonLion 575612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The artwork is a project we did during my hometown baby shower. Each of the attendees picked out a print and animal shape to cut out, and then signed their names next to their animal. </p> [attach=288/13/mih9p4.600x338.artcloseup1.jpg] [attach=288/13/mih9p5.600x338.artcloseup2.jpg] [attach=288/13/mih9p7.600x338.artsignatures.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-diy-any-of-your-nursery#post-575605 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 12:22:13 +0000 Mrs. Cat in the Cradle 575605@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FutureMrsMcK: Using stencils with some freehand added in! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-diy-any-of-your-nursery#post-575603 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 12:21:39 +0000 lovehoneybee 575603@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Cat in the Cradle: Wow you painted that? It's gorgeous! I want it in my bedroom!</p> <p>@Bao: Oh I love the book ledges...I need something like that in E's room...currently his books are in stacks all over the house :(</p> <p>@mediagirl: Aw, such a sweet banner!

I want some so badly but can't justify the cost. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-diy-any-of-your-nursery#post-575597 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 12:20:18 +0000 Modern Daisy 575597@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We painted the walls gray and I DIY'd some thrift store frames so they're now a pretty light yellow. I copied Mrs. Blue's idea of doing a 'love at first sight' picture of our first image of the little bean in one of them. I bought some beautiful multi colored paper from paper source and I'm going to make some kind of art with it. I also plan on making shelves for the wall and curtains. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-diy-any-of-your-nursery#post-575587 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 12:17:17 +0000 mediagirl 575587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: I love those picture ledges, they make that side of the room look so cozy! I want to curl up and read there now. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-diy-any-of-your-nursery#post-575583 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 12:16:30 +0000 Running Elley 575583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FutureMrsMcK: LOVE the mobile!!</p> <p>My favorite DIY was our mobile too. I found one that I liked on Etsy but I wouldn't fork over $150 for it so I just went for it. I'll have to find a good picture.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-diy-any-of-your-nursery#post-575574 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 12:15:33 +0000 mediagirl 575574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I made the banner that is over her crib... </p> [attach=251/13/mih99x.400x267.BGHNursery1of1-3.jpg] [attach=251/13/mih99y.500x333.BGHNursery1of1-8.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-diy-any-of-your-nursery#post-575564 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 12:12:44 +0000 Bao 575564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the bee mobile!! We made our own Ikea inspired picture ledges. Her room looks a little different now, but this was back when we were first putting it together (when we were team green). We also had the dresser re-done, and we re-did the glider on our own. </p> [attach=1420/13/mih959.600x450.168.JPG] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-diy-any-of-your-nursery#post-575556 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 12:10:27 +0000 lovehoneybee 575556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: It was one of my few requests for my baby shower...I slipped it into conversation with my SIL, who was co-hosting it...and told them the colors we were using in the nursery. My MIL (who's an artist) loved the idea, and got colors that (mostly) coordinated. </p>
