Button Nursery Wall Art {the beginning of a Vintage inspired Nursery}

I am expecting a baby girl this Early September! And I am SO very excited to start on her nursery decor. Its one of those things that keeps me busy and not thinking about how uncomfortable I am at the moment! lol

But I have to say it has been a challenge having 2 other little ones run around me, so hopefully I will get everything done in the next 12 weeks! 

My oldest daughter's room was pinks, reds and greens {with Vintage Cicily Mary Barker Fairies}  so this time around I wanted something different. This time I want to try and make a Vintage Inspired Nursery, in Creams, whites, Champagne Pink and a touch of Red....with a touch of Danish Fairy Tales.

I am still on the hunt for the perfect fabric for the Champagne Pink {with no luck}, so I will keep searching until I do. 

Here is my first project completed for our Sweet baby {E}. I bought this frame at the $1 store. Than added some rustic linen type fabric to the back. {I removed the glass}. Than with my glue gun in hand and a million of white & cream buttons i started gluing away....... 

Here is the end result....

 I even found an old antique pearl earring that I have had for YEARS {and I mean years...like when I was a little girl, this beauty used to sit in my jewelry box, all alone missing the other one}. I have always been a "collector" of things old;-)

 The cool thing about his is that I can always add new buttons to it, if I come across any i like. 

 This shelf was one that I had in the nursery already {I moved my little boy in with his big sister}...kept all of his nursery furniture for the next baby. 

 Twas origionally cherry....I painted and distressed it....I LOVE how it turned out!

Here is the BEFORE

Well stay tuned for my other nursery projects. I FINALLY can begin on them, now that I have both of my kiddies birthday parties out of the way:-)

Wish me good luck...this is my FIRST pregnancy that will last ALL SUMMER LONG! lol

I seriously give thanks in all of my prayers that I have AC! ;-)

Mmmmm Muslin {No Sew Curtain}

Mmmm how I LOVE this fabric! The whole feel and look of this makes me honestly feel like I am part of a romantic Jane Austin novel or something, lol! I have in mind to redo my laundry room with yellow being one of the colors, so I decided to switch my old no sew curtains with a new set. {I originally wanted to make the first set white, but never could find the right fabric that I wanted, so the yellow, grey cream ones it became}. 

Now onto my new ones.....Muslin, let me tell you a little about it.

Muslin (English pronunciation: /muslin/), or less frequently: (/'mjus:sin/) is a loosely-woven Cotten Fabric introduced to Europe from the Middle East in the 17th century. It became very popular at the end of the 18th century in France. Muslin is most typically an unbleached or white cloth, produced fromcarded cotton yarn. It is often used to make sewing patterns, such as for clothing, curtains, or upholstery. Because air moves easily through muslin, muslin clothing is suitable for hot, dry climates.

Another set of my knock off Potterybarn curtains. {OH how I am obsessed with that store!}Yes, again another New Sew. The fabric was SUPER cheap $4.99 yrd. A lot better than paying big $ for the PB ones! And,  I only ended up using half of it.  It took me about 30 min to do this from Ironing, folding and glueing! Next to make are curtains for my bedroom in the same style {happy sigh} ;-) 

Like the little flower box to the right? My little girl made it at the HomeDepot for their free kid classes. We planted a sunflower and tomato plant in "miraclegrows greenhouses" today for a 1$ each. She is so proud. I am too.

Here is the curtain close up;

And now off to making a dress for me....Just kidding! {hmmm...or am I}

I LOVE MUSLIN!

No Sew Curtains

No sew curtains. Love it.

Next project, make accessories to match with the same fabric. I was thinking perhaps pillows for my couch, or some type of runner or napkins to decorate with. (I just love the yellow and grey fabric! )

Any ideas?
