Princess Mia's Nursery

My gorgeous bubba is now 4 months old and we have just finally finished her room!  Our 4^th bedroom is really tiny, so at first she was going in that room, so we painted it. Then we changed our mind & she was going in with her sister, so we painted that room. Then we changed our mind again and decided to put her in with the study, so we painted it. Then we decided to convert the garage into a man cave & study and give the 2 older kids the bigger bedrooms. Clearly we are not great at making decisions! And now she is back in the original room that she was going in.  The great thing is that 3 of our bedrooms are now painted yay:)!

So our gorgeous little Mia now has the little room again. She still sleeps in a bassinet in our room, so I haven’t been too concerned about getting her room together, but she is getting older now so I thought I better get my butt into action as it won’t be long till she is in there.

So here it is......

I love making bunting and it is cheap as chips. I already had this fabric lying around. I am a very basic sewer and am not great at sewing straight lines, so this design is really easy. I just cut my fabric into flags, placed them back to back and sewed together using a zig zag stitch. Then I got pinking shears and cut along both sides. After that, all that is left to do is sew the binding on top. I used lace. You can either pin the flags to the lace or if you like doing things quickly like me, just place the flags in a pile in the order that you want to use and just pick up and place inside the binding as you go. Remember to leave room at each end of the binding so you can hang your bunting. The lace was $1.99 a metre & I used 2 metres, so this cost me less that $4 to make:)

My beautiful mother in law bought this lamp for our 1^st bubba but the cute lampshade that came with it got destroyed.

 I couldn't part with it so I bought a $10 lampshade from Bunning’s and painted it with some turquoise paint that I bought as a sample pot and decided it was too dark for our wall. Then just attached some pink lace. Decorating cost $0:)

I made her name out of paper mache letters bought from Spotlight for $3.99 each.

I used paint on the sides, scrapbooking paper on the front and then decorated with ribbons, felt and kindy glitz that I already had. When doing a project I often just use things that I already have around the house. It’s amazing the amount of stuff you probably have stashed around the house that you forget about. Total cost $12.

I bought a set of 3 bird frames from Kmart for $5. They were all hanging in a line with ribbon from smallest to largest. I cut them loose and put some coloured scrap booking paper in the photo spaces. The other 2 are hanging elsewhere in the room.

The curtains are block out and the perfect colour for the room. They were from Kmart and were a bargain $29. Sorry they arn't ironed!

There are some gorgeous gifts that we received that hang proudly in Mia’s room.

When she was first born, a friend made this gorgeous frame with all her birth details on it. It also happens to fit with the colour of her room perfectly.

One day I got a package delivered to the door. I was so excited when I opened it. My beautiful friend had ordered a personalised “Mia” baby package and one of the items was this gorgeous blanket. Love that she has a special blanket with her name on it!

My gorgeous sister loves making pretty things, so I asked her if she could make Mia a mobile that i had seen on pinterest. It’s so adorable and I’m not the only one that like it...it is Mia’s favourite thing!:)

So here it is the best view that i can get of most of the room, given that it is so small & i can't get a good angle. But it's the perfect size for a little person.

That's it for now.
