Nursery Wall Art

  

Monday was a slow day around the house.

I've been waiting for someone to help me decide how all the all art should be hung but I always get lazy and never do it.

I was tired of looking at it on the floor so I just went with it, took out a pencil for even measurements and hanging and hoped for the best.

After all, my husband can always spackle over the holes if they needed to be redone, right?

I decided the hoop art and yarn letter would be over the changing table.  (Craft tutorial here and here)

This is probably what made me stall the most but I finally just arranged them on the ground and went for it on the wall.

The crib definitely needed something above it and I wasn't going to put a shelf that could fall.

                                  

I loved all my Valentine's Day cards but this one from my Aunt in Scottsdale was the perfect picture of love, warmth, colors and happiness.  I love the 3D gumball machine with hearts flowing out.  So I thought I would frame it and hang it somewhere.  Then I got the idea to get two more and make a little picture collage.

I ransacked the left over Vday cards at Target to find matching cards along with our other received cards and two perfect matches were found.

I decided on three separate frames instead of one - three frame frame.  They can also be changed out in the future with other colors, cards or pictures.

I was very nervous about hanging these straight with out any help.  Excuse me, I had a two year old really trying to help.  But I think we all know how "helpful" that was.  I was pretty surprised that I got them rather straight and aligned.

 

I bought these picture hanging hooks at BBB and they are awesome.  They are easy to nail in, easy to take out (had to do that a few times) and aren't supposed to harm your walls.
