Nursery Progress - The Gallery Wall Begins

Already halfway through the week. It's been so busy training, that my evenings are just full of laying around watching TV with B... enjoying this quiet time we have left together! So if you have emailed me and haven't heard back yet... I promise I will respond soon. I'm slowly catching up!


This past weekend after hanging Peanut's mobile, B and I decided it was also time to start hanging some artwork on our little girl's wall. As I mentioned here, we'd already starting collecting artwork, but it remained on the ground for a while - waiting until we got inspired to hang it. Well, we finally got the first of it up on the wall...


Nursery Artwork

YUP... Three whole pieces. Okay, so we have more to collect and definitely some blank spaces to fill in but here's a little more detail on what we have hung so far...

Nursery Artwork

You've probably seen this pretty piece around here a few times. This print is from Brittany's shop and I won it in a giveaway in February 2010. It once hung in our guest bedroom, but when things started to move around, B and I agreed it would be the perfect print to add to the nursery. The combination of ABC's, and the "I love you" message, couldn't be any better for our little girl. All we did was take some left over paint from her dresser makeover, and paint the once black frame, turquoise. We love it!

The embroidery hoop just holds some fabric that I fell for (at Fabricland) and wanted someway to incorporate it into the nursery. It was a little pricey and I didn't want to spend too much, so I knew this was the perfect solution. As for our little owl... he was actually my first purchase for the nursery back at the Christmas One of a Kind Show, from Hilary Cosgrove. A few of my Toronto blogging ladies were on hand to help me pick it out too... Thanks you guys! He's perfect in the Peanut's room!

We still have a few more pieces we want to add... but are in need of some more ideas as well. What do you think is a good addition to a gallery wall for a little one's nursery?

  2. It's looking great Kerry!!
    Such a pretty fabric... and a great way to still include it in the nursery even though it was out of your price range...
    What about adding a big letter representing Peanut's first name... I think that would look great mixed in there with the photos and art...
    Only a few more weeks and she will be here!! So exciting! :)

  8. When my brothers and I were born my grandmother cross-stitched us all a picture with our name, date and time of birth, and birth weight. I'm sure you could come up with a cute and creative way to incorporate this information into a piece of wall art, and I know we all loved having this info about ourselves when we got a little older (possibly weird, but still true haha).

  12. Aww, these three little items looks so sweet together! I love that you painted the frame the same colour as the dresser. What about working in some photos - of you and B, or brand new pics of the baby once she comes?
