Emma's room is still basically the same as it was the day we brought her home. I love her room, just thought it was time to start making her room look like a little girl's room instead of a baby room. I am not in any rush to move her out of her crib, so really no big changes can be made until we get a bed for her and get her fully potty trained so I can take out the changing table!
One of the things that I wanted for her room was a place to put pictures up of all her friends. I didn't want really want one of those fabric memo boards, but something similar. One of the blogs that I follow had a memo board that was made out of chicken wire and I thought it was cute. Depending on the size, you could use it to hold mail, recipes, photos, hair bows, or even jewelry.
I have been looking on Etsy for them, but couldn't really find one that I liked well enough. So I decide to try and make one. I don't think I will be going into business making them any time soon, but I think it turned out well enough to serve it's purpose!
I just bought a frame from Ikea, some chicken coop wire from Home Depot, and then with a staple gun, added the chicken wire to the frame.
I spray painted some clothes pins to hold the photos and that's it!
And just in case any is wondering.....
Emma's plant is growing! I am sure I need to pick some out to give more room, but I am scared I will kill the entire plant! I think I will just leave them and see what happens!
