Even though we are still waiting for the other two crates containing our household goods, we are getting everything put together. Monkey’s room is finally done with the exception of hanging art on the walls. Today Hubby put the crib together and moved furniture around in Baby K’s room. Monkey has her name above her bed and I wanted to do the same thing for the new baby. Unfortunately, we can’t shorten the name we picked for the baby like we can Monkey’s name, so I decided to do her initials instead. I went online and found letters in frames that I really liked, but they were expensive and after looking at them closely I realized I could do something similar at home. On Saturday we went to Michaels, the craft store, and I bought wood letters, paint, sandpaper, scrapbook paper, glue, and ribbon. I painted the letters and frames an antique white and after they were dry I sanded them to give them a worn look. I glued the pink toile paper to the frames and the chocolate ribbon to the backs. When everything was dry I glued the letters to the paper. After the room was put together Hubby hung the letters for me. I was very pleased with the way they turned out. I posted some pics below. Only a couple of things left to get and her room will be ready!
