caleb's nursery

Before Charli was born, I went all out decorating with cutesy matchy-matchy decor for her nursery.  I had the entire crib bedding set, diaper stacker, lamp, valances, baskets, mobile and even wall decals and a large butterfly to hang on the wall.  Most of this stuff had been purchased for me for the baby showers, so it wasn't a big deal to use all of it.  When we were waiting on Caleb's arrival, however, we were on our own!  I knew I wanted a woodland animals theme for his room, and I found a sweet bedding set that I really liked & thought would look good with the wall color.  While I did purchase much of the entire set, I didn't purchase everything because it was getting to be expensive!  I was feeling a little guilty, though, because Charli's nursery was so well decorated, and now Caleb's walls just seemed so bare!  After browsing Pinterest, I decided to do something decorative with his name.  That was great for the big wall, but I really wanted something else to decorate the changing table nook so that he had something to look at while we were changing him.  One of the pictures on Caleb's bedding is of a tree.  My sister had suggested painting that tree on the big wall before I decided to do the name thing, so I scaled it down & painted the tree on this little wall!  I sketched the tree trunk and then painted it in.  Then I made a leaf template & cut out some sponges to paint the leaves.  I'm really happy with how it turned out, and Caleb seems to like looking at it!  Here are some pics of his finished nursery.
