An extra "baseball touch" for the Nursery...

Jason & I went to Hobby Lobby a few days ago, and I saw some cute foam baseball shapes. Of course I immediately thought of Easton's nursery and began to brainstorm ways I could use them. I've been wanting to add some type of labels to the baskets on his changing table - so here is what I came up with:

Close-up of baseball label

Hats, Bibs & Toiletries on top; Diapers & Burp Cloths on bottom

They were quite easy to make .... I started by printing out labels (using the sticky blank address labels that you can get at Staples, Office Max, etc). I then stuck the label on a baseball shape & punched a hole in the top of the ball. Next, I found some red ribbon ornament hangers and used those to loop through the hole. Finally, the ribbon was worked through one of the weaves in the basket - and you see the final result! :-) I love this extra touch & really like how the baseball theme is incorporated into the baskets that were originally just plain white with blue/white striped liners. What do you think????

The nursery is complete!

The nursery is READY - we are so happy with how everything turned out!!! Unfortunately, since we are in a rental house we cannot paint, so the walls are plain white. And due to the fact that we will only be living here for a few more months, we opted to not hang curtains yet. We'll have to leave the painting & window coverings for our next house. However, every other detail is in place ..... watch the "grand tour" first, but be sure to hit "pause" on the music at the bottom of the blog page so you can hear my commentary :-) Since the video is a bit dark, I also took pictures so you can see the details more clearly - let us know what you think!

Check out that stocked up closet! (but there are extra hangers & more space, so keep the clothes coming) :-)
