So going back to my post about how much I love etsy: Etsy-O-Rama I wanted to post an update on a few things I found there because we will be getting a bunch of things shipped out to us soon.

I was thinking back a couple of months ago about redecorating Avery's room/the nursery to make it a little more fun and personalized. My first attempt was to hire a Charlotte mommy from Charlottemommies.com to paint letters for Avery's name. Being the picky person that I am and the fact that the super nice artist and I had two completely different visions I ended up not using those.

I decided to do a little more searching, found some options online as I thought about painting some myself, and then came to the decision that I would rather spend the money and save my own time, so I turned to the crafters on Etsy.

I found a bunch of great sites where they painted room letters and then found a great site where they use fabric and ribbon to cover wood letters, (among other things.) I just knew I had to have something made by Amanda Shea from SheaChicDesigns.

Little did I know I would love her creations so much that I would order four items from her instead of the 1 that I had intended to purchase. Don't get me wrong, this is a very, very good thing.

Anyway, in an effort to be able to use decorations for both Avery's current room/the nursery, and her "new room" once we have another baby, I chose a design with both green and pink, her two room colors. The letter's turned out wonderfully:

I also decided to get a small monogram to accent our bedroom wall. Our bedroom colors are brown and blue, our wedding colors, so I figured the pattern would go nicely.


There are a few more items that are coming, but I wanted to share these fun things with you. I'll update once Avery's room is done, hopefully in the next few weeks, and when everything is up and beautiful!
