New Look Crib

My daughter got this crib from my sister but wanted to update it for her new baby.  She has fallen in love with Heirloom White, as so many of us have, so she asked me to paint it Heirloom White.  

In the Fall, while it was apart, I spray painted it outside and, five cans of Heirloom White later, this crib has got a shabby chic look any baby would envy!

New Year’s weekend I had an opportunity to go to my daughter and son-in-law’s apartment and I loaded up the car with tension rods, rubber bands, extra drapery panels, a sheer scarf, my little tool bag, a sewing box and a few Command hooks.   This is a one-bedroom apartment with a somewhat large area that is probably supposed to be a dining room and living room area.  They split it with furniture and made one side the baby’s “room”.  This is what we came up with for over the crib area. 

I’m sorry these appear so dark, there is no overhead lighting in this area and I had to rely on lamps.

I attached three Command hooks to the wall in a triangular formation, using one of the larger hooks at the top and two medium size on either side.   I bunched up the middle of the scarf and wrapped a rubberband around it, and attached it to the hook by the rubberband, fluffing out the poof it made.  It covers the rubberband and the hook.  For the sides, my daughter liked the idea of using the brown ribbon {the bedding is a green and brown}, but I only had two strips of it, so we decided to leave the top one as is for now.

I then hung her crown print that Tara from Just Devine Style did for me and the canvas that I won from Sherri at Jack and Jill Interiors a few months ago.  My daughter is going for somewhat of an Alice in Wonderland theme {which we did for her baby shower}.  They have a couple of stuffed animals from Alice in Wonderland, as well as an Alice in Wonderland pillow that I bought from Donna at Brynwood Needleworks.

My daughter was really happy with this outcome and I was glad to do it for her and the baby!
