Anna's room is decorated in a hodgepodge of some of my favorite things: Pop Ink Pattern Paper Dolls from French Paper Co., the pennant banner from my SU! shower (seen on the crib), tissue paper flowers that I made from a Martha Stewart kit (see the baby blessing post), and just great patterns like the crib bedding. I love all these things—but I had two problems. All the colors didn't exactly go together, and we didn't want to hang anything on the walls above where Anna sleeps—you know, being paranoid first-time parents and all—just in case.So, here is my solution...I painted 12" x 12" squares directly on the wall with acrylic paint (I probably spent $25 on different colors of $1.99 paints before I found the perfect three colors—Travis is so patient with me! :) And then, the white numbers are from Stampin' Up!'s new line of Décor Elements (self-adhesive vinyl art). They were so quick and easy to apply! And there you have it! If it weren't for the bazillion coats of color changes, this would have been a pretty quick project. Ta-da! And now my little Anna has a focal point that ties everything in her room together. (It is what ever six week old girl dreams of! :)
Thanks, Trav, for being patient through yet another of my many "wrench in the routine" craft projects.

You are so hired to do my nursery, someday! I love everything.
I am really not as patient as you are trying to make me sound. I think it turned out really cute though. Good thing you are in control of the decorating and not me!
It's so cute and creative. Good work Jen. By the way, I love the "wrapped around her finger picture" it is so beyond precious.
Finding just the right color is always an issue for you Jen---thats because you have a specific eye for it. It always looks fantastic in the end and it is always worth the effort. It looks so fun!
I LOVE IT! You are so stinkin' creative! :) I love you color choices!
Very cute!
Okay Jen, you are so stinkin' talented it makes me sick. :) You're definitely going to have to come give me some pointers on how to decorate my house better.
Anna is such a doll-I can't wait to see her again! And I know you and Travis are two of the most awesome parents in the world. Keep up the good work!
