My Life...One design at a time...

Between my timeline blogs I hope to post current things going on in our lives as well, since this blog was started at week 35 and I am basically backdating my thought process. Which brings me to...drum roll....my nursery and other artistic baby and non-baby related items! Because sharing is caring!  

My fiance and I consider ourselves pretty artistic people. We dab a little in everything. I keep telling my self that our daughter is going to think that she has the coolest parents in the world, especially when she is old enough to understand who Wonder woman and Captain America are (but I am sure I will find out she thinks otherwise) We hand painted Wonder Woman and Captain America on the walls when we started our Marvel/DC comic office.) Who said drawing on the walls was bad?! 

Oh, and here is a sneak peek at our current office.

Yes, this is where the magic of creativity happens. Okay, so we are a little dorky. Ha. We love it though. 

Oh, and I also hand paint children stools. I really am not sure why I started painting children's stools, especially since I did not have any kids of my own. I think I needed a gift idea for a good friend years ago and wanted to personalize it. Next thing I know and dozens of stools later, it just became a trademark. Nothing beats a personal one of kind gift in my opinion! I am considering making this some kind of business with other artistic items that we create... but who knows.

We have almost completed our nursery. We have added several elements since these pics were taken. We originally had no clue what we wanted to do. We really wanted to stay away from the typical cliche themes. The hardest part was trying to figure out what to do with a room that had BLUE carpet when having a daughter! Finally we decided that purple would match perfectly. I swear, I will never understand why when you have a baby girl everything has to be PINK. We searched so many stores for anything that was outside of pink and it was nearly impossible to find any other colors- without spending a ton of money.

I started to paint my version of a cherry blossom tree in the corner of the nursery. I then hand punched hydrangea flowers and pinned the actual flowers to the wall...and yes, this was extremely time consuming! 

We'll I just wanted to give a sneak peek at the nursery and other artistic things about my family. Thanks for checking it out!!
