I like how simple this nursery is, and yet it has a lot of personality. And check out that bassinet! Awesome!

Fruit Crate Shelves

How to Build Shelves from Fruit Crates from OhDeeDoh

Directions from OhDeeDoh reader, inkstainedwriter:
"We wanted small bookshelves, but everything we found was pretty expensive. We hit upon a better solution at A.C. Moore where we found fruit crates on sale. We bought six of them and made the shelves out of them. First we cleaned and prepped them.
Then we bought brackets and short screws at Home Depot. We screwed them at the back between each shelf. The wood was thin and there was some cracking, but it turned out pretty solid.
Finally, we bought tiny nails (again, at Home Depot) to nail the front shelves down to the one underneath it."

Great for a kid's room, a sewing room, an exposed pantry, and more!!

Birth Announcements

"Birth Announcements" from Oh Happy Day.
Love the idea of a small package wrapped up inside. Would also be a great Christmas card with photos from the year. And because the photos are so small, you could easily print them on your home printer. Awesome!

Circle mobiles

"Baby Shower Ideas" from tutus and turtles. Image from Martha Stewart's Baby Shower Guide.

While I'm sure there are some great baby shower ideas in this guide from Martha Stewart, I mostly just love those mobiles. So simple, yet so eye catching. And easy to DIY! Couldn't you just see that over a crib?

Fingerpaint Wall Art

"Fingerpaint Wall Art" from tutus and turtles, found via DesignMom.

Let child fingerpaint a canvas in chosen colors. Then personalize the art with hand and foot prints, attractively capturing and displaying child's growth.

Seed Bottles

From "Amber's Shower" via bijougirl etc.

I told you I was into seed favors lately. When all my friends start having babies, I will have to remember this. Baby bottles filled with wild flower seeds and said "Plant, water, love, grow" and "It's a girl!" Could you pair this with wheat grass to complete the theme??

Love this embroidered bird. Maybe I can convince Rob that this isn't too feminine?? Perhaps I could convince my mom to help me make one to match the new bedroom scheme??
