Wooden Monogram for Baby Girl's Nursery

As I perused through Etsy one day looking at nursery ideas, I came across a wooden monogram that I had to have!!  The Etsy store was was called Me Myself and Jeff.  I loved everything about it; the price, the font, the finish, etc.  So I decided to put a gift certificate (we were keeping the name a secret) for the store on myregistry.com

As part of my shower gift, my Mom and Sis purchased it for us!  Since Mitch painted the walls himself, he was a bit apprehensive to hang it.  But, we finally hung it...with those "no nail needed" 3M strips!!

I was told that the store owner was very nice and accommodating!  In addition, it was made and shipped out SUPER fast!!  (Thank you!!!!) :-)

Just a few more things to do and her nursery with be complete!!!!

Have a GREAT (rainy) day!!

PS... The changing pad cover was made by another Etsy shop called iviebaby.  She also did a pillow cover for our glider.  VERY sweet and talented!!  :-)

Easy Nursery Wall Art with Great Great Grandma's Old Buttons!!

Well hello there!!

Loooooong time, no chat!!  

Leighelle's nursery is SO close to being done...never mind she is two months old... :-)  All we need to do is hang some items we already have.  I think Mitch is afraid (as am I) to put holes in the newly painted/wallpapered walls.  

My mom gave me an old mason jar FULL of old buttons from my Grandmother and Great Grandmother.  I have been wanting to do something with them for months now.  I decided that I wanted to shape them into an L on a canvas for Leighelle's room.  The finished product is below!

The steps I did it in were NOT the best...but I will share:

1.)  Picked out the buttons I thought were cool.

2.)  Drew a cursive L on a white canvas.

3.)  Laid out the buttons how I wanted them (the last picture). 

4.)  Spray painted (the only thing I had in the house that was pink) the other canvas.

5.)  TRIED to lay the buttons out into the L in the same fashion by eyeballing my first layout. (I should   

       have painted, drew the L, THEN put the buttons on).  Ah well.  

I like my first layout better, but it turned out ok in the end.  Scroll down to see what products I used to complete this easy speesy project.

Happy Memorial Day weekend!!

Thank you to all the heroes out there for your selfless sacrifice and service!

Pillow Sale!

Hey there, blog world! I have all intentions on this sunny day to talk about a lil sunny vaycay I just returned from, but then I decided against it because I didn't want to make anyone jealous after we just got a bazillion more inches of snow in MI.

Then, I checked my email and found out that this pillowcase was on sale! And so I need to share!

Who knows how I found this pillow, but I've been following Michelle Dwight Designs on Instagram for awhile and knew I wanted to get one of these for my couch! I got one when she was having a Valentine's Day sale, and I just saw that there is a sale on Style Lately (a GREAT deal website) right now! The pillow comes separate and I ended up ordering mine on amazon. I think it's the cutest accessory to my cuddly couch!

And isn't this never ending winter just the most perfect time to cuddle?! XO, E

My "&" pillows are from Crate & Barrel and my other pillow is from Target. Couch from Art Van Clearance!
