Baby room

Brayden is eight months old (even though he was born yesterday) and his bedroom has been ready for ten months. BUT I wanted to share how damn ADORABLE his room is.

Overview of the baby room, looking in from the door
When I was pregnant I started to obsess over the woodland owls that were everywhere.  Of course they needed to be incorporated in to his bedroom :) Especially after my baby-shower ended up owl-themed.  My amazing crafty friends made a bunch of owls which are placed throughout the room
bits and pieces of the room
I made the elephant, bee, owl, and B prints.  The bee has since been replaced with a "You are my Sunshine" print [that I also made]. The same "You are my sunshine" and the owl are currently available in my Etsy shop.
the wall where the door is



I also made that alphabet next to the window to match Brayden's name. This customizable print is also available in my Etsy shop. I call it the "nalphabet".  corny? yes!
Changing table. I now have a white lamp between the pad and the alphabet frame.
The one window in the room
I made the crib skirt, window valance, trim on closet curtain, and light switch plate all with three yards of this black-and-white fabric. I was so glad to be able to do this :) It was hard to find a modern-ish black and white fabric that wasn't girly (damask is everywhere).  I had my mind set on polka dots but when I found this I fell in love.

The fabric I used. 

The greatest part about this room is that it's not considered super "neutral" (no yellows or greens here!), but if a baby girl Campogan comes along soon she can still have this teal room because it's also not BOY or GIRL. If I do get to convert this to a girl baby room I'll add a SPLASH of mermaids and seahorses to this teal beauty and VOILA.  Or if our little family doesn't grow beyond four, this teal room will made a perfect work & craft room / office.
