{tap, tap} Is this thing on?

First post - woohoo! I suppose this means we're getting all official :). My first project post is dedicated to a (surprisingly) quick project we did for the nursery. I knew I wanted an owl theme, and as nice a mural is on a wall, I don't have the time (or the talent) to pull that off. Fortunately for me, they make wonderful vinyl wall clings in very cute designs. I happened to find one that was exactly what I was looking for at a recent visit to Buy Buy Baby (with my partner in Fox and Hen crime, Nikki).

I asked very nicely if my hubby would give me a hand and he, of course, obliged (who says no to their pregnant wife?). He had already painted the room so all we had to do was pick a wall and start applying! Here's what the vinyl looks like on the pages (conveniently numbered, even!):

I was a little concerned since the branches of the tree weren't straight, but very swirly, that this was going to be hard to get up. I was wrong! They are easily removed and adjusted as you go, so no worries about messing up!

I had my hubby do the tree and then I did the "fun" part of applying the flowers, leaves and critters around it. The owls are my absolute favorite pieces of the tree :).

After about 45 minutes we had the whole thing done! Whew that was easy! I moved the dresser (which was re-painted by my wonderful Sister-In-Law Heather) under the tree, added the custom drawer pulls I got from e-bay to it and voila! At least one part of the nursery is done!

Until next time ~ Jenn
