A Tour of the Nursery

Here's a little picture tour of Caiden's nursery.

My unbelievably talented sister Jen made the quilt for Caiden's room. Isn't it just about the cutest thing you have ever seen? I LOVE IT. She designed it perfectly.

These are some of my favorite squares. I love the detail of the Van's shoe and the giraffe.  

 Left: Caiden's makeshift dresser. We bought a book shelf for $10 at Target and transformed it into a dresser. The fabric cubes are also from Target, 2 for $8. I made the ABC art work that is framed and printed it at Alphagraphics for cheap and reused my BFA frames. Right: an up close of the giraffe our nephew Matthew drew. I had to frame it for Caiden, it's so cute!

Left: we used one of Miles old skateboards as a shelf and put Caiden's giraffe sound machine on it to fit with the theme of the room. Since it was inspired by an LRG shirt Miles put one of his LRG hats on the shelf too. Right: the bear that our nephews Matthew and Michael gave to Caiden. They recorded little messages to him that make me tear up every time I listen to it. Also the monkey that his Grandma Sue gave him. 

Left: Caiden's crib with the yarn balls I made dangling over them. I just used yarn that I had from crocheting so it cost me nothing! Right: Caiden's changing table and some more art work that I made for Caiden's room. It's the giraffe's that inspired the room.

Not pictured is the last piece of art work that I created for his nursery, his "family tree." I made the tree in Illustrator without any leaves and wrote his name on the bottom. Then as we have family members come visit we have them put their finger print on the tree as a leaf to the family tree. I forgot to have family members put their finger prints on while they were here visiting last week. Bummer! And that completes the tour of Caiden's nursery!
