Poor Alicia, before she was born her room was undecorated as we wanted to wait until she was born to decorate her room. As we did not know whether we were having a boy or a girl it made sense to wait to decorate. However she is now 3 months old and her room is only partially done. We are planning to move before the end of the year so it kind of seems pointless to decorate but I have done a little bit..just to show her we care.
I was also send a pack of 3M Picture Hanging Strips to use and review (a very long time ago..sorry!). These things are great! I have always disliked the fact that when you hang a picture on a wall it sticks out at the top. These mean that you can have your frames flat to the wall which make for a cleaner, neater look.
They are easy to use. You just click them together, remove the stickers and stick the frame to your wall. Here is a video that shows you exactly how to do it.
They are a little bit hard to get right and I think that some careful measuring is required. We were in a bit of a rush so I think that ours are not perfectly straight..but hey, we are moving and will try to get it right at the next place.
The other great thing about them is that they are removable. As we are currently renting there are rules about what you can hang on a wall. These take away any annoying hooks or marks that can be left on walls.
I used the gorgeous photos that my friends annette audrey took of Alicia, and bought some $5 frames from Big W.
In decorating Ali's room I also decided that I would make my own bunting. It was surprisingly easy (even if it did take me three months to get around to finishing it). I found the tutorial for the bunting on the Loridanelle blog. I also used the fabric I had won from Duckcloth after entering a competition on www.lovelyliving.com.au
I am also planning on making some cushions out of the fabric with pink hearts on it. But who knows how long that will take????
