Caroline's Red/Aqua Nursery

When we first found out we were having a baby, I knew what I wanted to decorate the nursery with: Red and Aqua. I was mildly obsessed with this color combo. Boy or Girl, I was determined to use it. I wanted to go for a retro type theme. I am not sure I accomplished quite that, but I can safely say that I love her room any ways. I hope she will too.

Her room kind of morphed into a travel type theme. I want to do more to it but there is plenty of time for that as we see how her personality is. I also have a cute picture frame my to hang up that my sister gave me. I just need to get some pictures printed.
Caroline sleeping. She looks worried.
I decorated letters for her room. They are hard to see in this picture but I really like them. The paint is Aqua Glow and I love it.
Her bedding was homemade (Not by me) and bought on Etsy. It has red and white clouds with Aqua birds. Her great grandmother Lois (who she is named after) made the adorable white blanket.
I made the mobile above her bed. Found a pattern online and hand stitched 3D hot air balloons. It wasn't too hard and I like how it turned out.
My talented brother painted these pictures of hot air balloons. I LOVE them. I have nagged him for years to paint something for me and these are perfect. He is very talented but won't admit it. (And if you read this John, Eliza would like a picture of an Owl. She also said yogurt but you can leave that part out.)
 
I cross stitched this hot air balloon when I was in highschool.
I love my bob the big boy. Kase's work made this card with Caroline's picture on the front.
It is hard to tell in this picture but these are pictures of cities/places that Kase and/or I have been to. (Salt Lake, San Diego, Hawaii, Los Angeles, Long Beach, Washington DC, and Nashville.)
These are alphabet cards that I printed from a free thing on the internet. I can't remember where though. I like the retro stuff they have for each letter.
And finally, I purchased this awesome diaper holder off of etsy too. For cheaper than buying one in the store. It is so cute.

So I love her room. I feel happy when I'm in there. I hope she loves it too.

The end.
