Room Makeover-- Chunk's Nursery Update

Happy Wednesday, Thursday! Husband was out yesterday getting tattooed, which took longer than expected so unfortunately we did not get to our project until this morning...


Our week got kind of busy, so we haven't done too much in Chunk's nursery. However, we did manage to find and hang some awesome artwork we found on Amazon!

I typed in "baby star wars art" and one of the first results were these awesome watercolor-ish pieces. I loved them so much, I didn't even look at anything else. Husband loved them too, and I let him pick the final 3 pieces to hang. We got Rey/BB8, Darth, and R2D2/C3PO.  I absolutely loved the Yoda one, but we decided to stick with all vertical prints since we put them on the same wall.

Thanks to Amazon Prime shipping, we received them yesterday and practically ran to the store to grab some frames. Two of the prints are 8x10 and one is 11x14, so they were easy to get regular frames for (purchased at Target).



The back wall used to have just the crib, but once we got the rocker, we put the crib on an angle in the corner to make room for it. We centered the artwork on the wall, so eventually when the bed goes back, it'll still look right.

I love that the pieces bring some more color into the room, but don't look overly baby-ish. I think they're pieces that he can have for a while, which is fantastic.

The other wall piece we ordered was this vinyl decal, also from Amazon. We put it on the wall over the changing table/dresser.

The frames came with templates to put up so we didn't make any mistakes and have to put multiple holes in the wall. We measured, taped, and nailed!


Oh, and we had a little help:


Both Husband and I are in love with the artwork and how it really is starting to make Chunk's room feel more personal and lived in.

And the final results:



Next up:
** paint inside of window frame
** fix window screen (to the best of our ability so we are able to open the window in nice weather-- the whole window needs replacing, but we are not at that stage yet)
** fix closet doors (when carpet was installed, the doors became too long, so they drag on carpet)
** fix inside of closet and remove our clothing
** install shelving or some sort of organization for books and toys

Check back next Wednesday for another Room Makeover Update!

(PS- did you see a little addition to the wall by the window? Be sure to check for an update on that in the next few days!)
