Train Station: Another Nursery






When my first grandson was born I used large foam stamps and stencils to make a Noah's Ark themed room.  When my second grandson was born my daughter decided that his theme would be "trains."  I decided to go freehand with acrylic craft paint.  First I drew a line around the entire room and made that train tracks.  Then I painted trains (of course), a station and children and animals watching for the train to go by. Over the door frames I wrote "All aboard" and "Tickets Please."  My cows may not be "utterly" perfect, but they'll do.  (Sorry--so Sorry!!)

Is That a Giraffe in your Room? A New Nursery!!



When my granddaughter was born I went to town fixing up her nursery.  She was going to collect giraffes --so I started with a life-size tree and 51/2 foot giraffe. 

The owl peeking out of the tree trunk is a favorite of my grandsons.


Birds and baby birds in a nest -- cute huh?



The boys painted the birdhouses and made the butterflies -- with Mommy's help.


The boys LOVE turtles so --here is the one I painted.

My oldest grandson really enjoys the goldfish pond at our home so he suggested I paint one for the nursery.


After two boys --this girl was going to be THE princess so I made a canopy for the crib.  It is carefully out of reach and may have to be removed when she gets bigger.

The bureau scarves are embellished with a flower.
A Pretty Room for A Beautiful Girl!!
