I hung up the quilt using a rid and ring clips and we also painted a few canvases of sleeping animals. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-decorate#post-192071 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 21:18:55 +0000 StrawberryBee 192071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>you could use a blanket/quilt like a giant piece of wall art ^_^.

Between the furniture, windows and built-in book shelves, there's not much wall space either - just above the crib and one small stretch of wall where I'll probably put up a map of the Americas... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-decorate#post-192021 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 19:48:31 +0000 stargal 192021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>were doing a big wall decal and decorating with knick knacks and a bunch of of pictures. Also doing some DIY like a mobile and painting some baskets/picture frames. pintrest is awesome to get inspiration from :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-decorate#post-192017 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 19:45:37 +0000 cyneswith 192017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since neither blankets nor bumpers are considered safe for small infants any more, how do you decorate a nursery? We'll do blue or green black-out curtains. We have our furniture. We live in a rental, so painting is a no-go... We do plan on getting a rug.</p> <p>I'd really like to decorate the nursery - I just don't know how! </p>
