Butterfly Nursery

I started the redecorating of Heather's room first. I wish I would have taken before shots, but here are my unprofessional after shots. In this room I had a lot of help. Another wonderful neighbor of mine, Melissa, helped me with the name in vinyl. I used a stencil from JoAnn to trace the butterfly bodies. I cut out, painted and pinned the butterflies to the wall. Straight pins hold the butterfly wings off the wall to make them appear more 3-D. 


In the corner I made a mobile out of circles of scrapbook paper, held together by jump rings. I decorated the mobile with smaller cutouts of butterflies.


My talented sister, Andrea, made the curtains. She added dark brown ribbon bows to accent the fabric loops.


After 9 years I decided to re-cover my highly stained and dirty $80 glider chair and footrest from Toys R Us. With the help of my fantastic mother and sister we were able to finish the job.
