I created this wall art back in. . . June? Maybe even May! But after hanging it I decided to change the fabric to something more simple. And then I had such bad morning sickness that was not going to happen. And then I found out I was having a boy, so I would rather change the fabric to match the new boy's nursery I have brewing in my mind. And then. . . just kidding. That's the end of it. So many excuses!
But in the mean time, I thought I would share. I haven't had time for any new projects since I started nannying and it gets old sharing inspiration pics all the time! I want to share my own work!
I found these placemats at IKEA and wouldn't you know they were almost exactly the same color aqua as Olivia's bedding? Isn't it funny how you notice the colors you're currently working with? I covered some cork pan holder things (actual name anyone? I mean, not the name in Swedish because that's what IKEA gives me) with fabric that played off the aquas, creams and circle concept. I laid everything on the ground and moved it around until I liked the layout. Then took a picture so I could recreate it on Olivia's wall.
When I took these pics Olivia's crib was being used for a photo shoot for Oilo. That's why there isn't a full wall picture. Sorry!
Do you agree that the fabric is too busy? Now that I know I'm having a boy and that I want to do an orange and aqua nursery I'm just going to wait and change it to fit the new color scheme.

IKEA + Anthropologie
So this is my IKEA hack. I got this little dresser soon after I started teaching. It was inexpensive and modern looking. Recently I moved it into Olivia's room to help house her growing piles of clothes.
Today I went and got some knobs that I have had my eye on for a couple of months. Anthro had such a great selection of aqua knobs, I couldn't choose just one, so I decided to use six different knobs!
I love the finished product, though I don't think this picture does it justice.
Next weekend project: Some art work for this space!!!

| At 8 dollars a pop, I think the knobs are worth more than the dresser!!! |
