What is it that Joanna always says to Chip when he makes a great design decision? That he's promoted to assistant designer? Well, The Mr. is now officially just that! I have him to thank for this really coming together beautifully. This is my first nursery decor I've gotten up (besides the crib if you even count that haha) Check out below for how it all turned out! (:
I'm addicted to anything galvanized. It's a problem....I was on a mission when I went to Hobby Lobby with my family a couple weekends ago. I was looking for smaller letters to spell Natalie's name and just couldn't find them. In defeat I left and figured I'd find them eventually. Sister-in-law to the rescue for the 1,000th time! She found them tucked somewhere I never looked! I was so excited and knew exactly what I wanted to do with them. That began my search for a piece of wood that I could mount them to. I searched in our wood pile at home & the wood pile we have at work and couldn't find the right one. I figured I'd just go to Michaels and see if they had any that already had the proper hardware to hang up.

This originally had a string down the middle of it with clothes pins so you could hang pictures. He saw beyond that & I think I fell in love with him just a tad bit more today (;
The Mr. went ahead and made pencil lines to make sure the letters would be straight.
To apply the letters to the sign, we had to get creative. We thought about using a hot glue gun, but to be honest, I'm still trying to perfect that thing! The one product I've used that has never let me down is

These were a life saver for all the DIY's done at our wedding. If you've never tried them, google them or just get some because you can use them for so many things!

To make sure that it was more sturdy on the wall, we bought some of these sawtooth hangers to apply to the back.
I added this floral garland around it that I snagged on sale & it was everything I was looking for and more! <3
We hung it up above the crib & loved how it turned out. It's amazing what can come to life when you have patience in finding just the right elements to put together to complete a look.
I hope everyone is having a lovely Sunday evening!
