::the nursery tree::

Jun17

Well i finally got it finished so here is a sneak peek..by the time i “reveal” the nursery it is going to be very anti-climatic because i have shown so much already..oh well. First off, let me say I am not much on vinyl decals (just me, no offense to those who love them), and i would still like to trace and paint this tree BUT for the cost and ease of installation, it really does look great and much better than the big mobile i had there, the mobile was a steal from PBKids but just not the right scale..i got this tree from www.dalidecals.com (in good ol’ Asheville, NC!) and the white vinyl is matte and looks great. The shape of the tree mirrors the botantical (we dont say floral yall) accent fabric so well..I never knew i was going this direction but here it is and i love it! And the really cool thing is I love Isaiah 61:3 and so this tree is sort of a symbol of our prayer for Baby Henry..that he will be a planting of the Lord for God’s glory! In fact, i think i will write the scripture in white paint pen up the tree trunk!;;.

[tree-dali decals, crib fabrics, inside bumper-linen dot from calico corners, exterior of bumper and white linen ties and welting from fabric.com, brown pillow from target, dog pillow is Amy Coe from Babiesrus, monogram pillow from a now closed monogram shop (a lot of monogram shops sell this basic smocked pillow i have noticed), pooh bear from target ca. 2004;),drapery fabric from fabric.com too, the pillow with the brown rick rack trim(hobby lobby trim) is made from a THomas O'brien tea towel from Target and last but not least, the white bella notte bed sheet from Wildflower--i will tell you later what happened to the cribskirt that matched it..still getting over it;;)oh and paint is Laura Ashley Stone 2 from Lowes]

“..that they may be called oaks of righteousness,
the planting of the LORD,that he may be glorified.” IS 61:3

Hi Holly from another Holly. The nursery is super cute. I painted a scripture in my daughter's tree. Thought you might want to check it out. http://havennoel.blogspot.com/2009/04/owls.html

Such a great idea, specially appropriate for my two grandsons: Rowan and Cedar (both trees from C.S. Lewis books).

Cute nursery, Holly! I especially like the updated colors–blues that are greened. Love the scottie pillow in the polka dot fabric. You may know this already, but Calico Corners can make crib bumpers and bedskirts to custom fit a baby bed. Happy decorating–and enjoy baby Henry!

How beautiful. One question. Where did you get your old dust ruffle? The white one pictured a few posts below. I see that you're having a new one made and was wondering if your old one was a pre-made purchase or something you had custom made too.
Everything is just so perfect! It's definitely an inspiration!

The tree is but marvelous…but the verse…the verse is what sets it apart from any other. For your sweet babe Henry was fearfully and wonderfully made, unique like no other.
