A Baby Nursery : The Payton Edition

I LOVE (in all caps) a good baby nursery. They are so fun to decorate. And I love to see how others decorate theirs. There are so many sweet and beautiful directions to be chosen. So now that Dylan has finally moved to his big boy room (Still a work in progress. Look for a future post.) I felt like sharing some photos of Payton's revamped nursery. To all who followed the old blog, some of this will look familiar to you. With Dylan's nursery I spent a good bit of time sewing the bedding, creating original art and gathering furniture pieces for the room. Those of you who have decorated a nursery know the undertaking and cost of all that goes into it so I wanted to make the experience enjoyable, but a once in a lifetime one. I picked a gender neutral color scheme knowing there could potentially be a baby girl Lott one day (well whadda ya know?!). Yellow, white and robin egg blue (if you know me and my home - you know this is pretty much my favorite color scheme) were chosen for the dominant colors in the room while hints of green, red and orange were added in in a way that could easily be switched out if needed. So for Payton's sweet little nursery all I had to do was add a few "girly" touches here and there. I switched out the oranges in the room with pinks, created a new bird illustration to replace the elephant illustration I had created for Dylan, added some new knick-knacks and wah-lah! This is what I came up with....enjoy!

What would a Melissa Lott project be these days without some fabric flags?

Easy Peezy Fabric Art made with Wooden Embroidery Hoops. I just
switched out the oranges and added in some pink patterned fabrics.
Like I said - Easy Peezy!

my favorite china dolls.
