They finally arrived after what seemed an eternity...Emersyn's letters came today and I just can't stand just how precious they are. I had them custom made for a VERY affordable price compared to what is out there from a seller on Etsy (I'm addicted, that's a whole other story). Anyway they came today and as soon as I got home I just had to hang them. I decided they needed some ribbon (which I could have had them come with for free but thought I wanted to do something different, so elected not to have the ribbon). So I tied some make shift ribbon on each one, which will probably change when I buy some I actually like ( I Love the light pink, but the dark pink probably won't match when the bedding gets here) Anyway, I have some pictures below which to me make it look a little bare...but in real life the wall does not look so empty even though there is a crib and wood letters on it. Oh also the little frames on each side I got from hobby lobby and love them too. That being said I need some opinions...
1. Should I just leave it as is (alternating light pink and green and a different type of dark pink ribbon on the letters)
2. Take the two frames from hobby lobby down (give them a new place in the room) and buy some molding and have jonathan make a "frame around the letters and paint a light pink background inside the "frame"? I'm not sure if that makes sense but it would be like the letters are in a large antique white frame and the background in the frame would be a pink color to contrast with the green wall outside the frame and the antique white letters.
Anyway I feel like it is slowly coming together. Just waiting on the bedding!!!!
PS I am looking for a traditional rounded back rocker with spindle back that I can paint antique white and put matching cushions in. If anyone has an old rocker like this they want to give away or sell for cheap just let me know. I want something to sit in her room to nurse her, but not something big and bulky. My parents neighborhood is having a neighborhood yard sale this weekend and Im going to start my hunt there. At first I was not going to get a rocker for her room, but I really love the room and want to enjoy it while I nurse her, not just walk in there to change her clothes!
I would say no frame - just keep it simple. PLUS when she does get bigger and you change her room it would make for an easier swap to just take the letters down. I like the alternating colored bows and the frames look good but if you are going for a simple but cute look, I would move them to another spot - they look good either way! I would check craigslist for a rocker and my neighborhood is having a yard sale this weekend too so I'll ask and see if there is one there :) How exciting!!
ReplyDeleteI like the letters the way they are. I think adding a frame around them would make it too busy. They are sooo cute! I absolutely love them!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful sister!!!I like the idea of Jonathan framing the letters! Jazz it up a little, plus I think it would make that wall feel complete. Go all out:)Love you, can't wait to see you Saturday!
