First Baby Room Project

I've been thinking a lot about the baby's room

and different ways to decorate it.

I want to take the next 22 weeks

and fit in as many DIY touches as possible.

I'm leaning towards an outdoorsy theme.

I don't like the word theme.

It makes me think of matching bedding, curtains, and borders.

Instead, I want to keep the room fairly neutral

and add in little touches here and there.

It's difficult to explain.

I hope it's less difficult to create.

Matt & I both love the outdoors

and our love for each other grew on many

backpacking, kayaking, and camping adventures

we've taken throughout the years.

Therefore, I think it's a fitting decorating choice for our baby.

The first project I'm working on are cut-outs of the alphabet.

I'm taking 3/16" foam board and cutting out the

entire alphabet in different fonts and sizes.

I'm using different outdoor/camping scrapbook paper

to decorate each letter.

As of right now, I'm envision them stuck on the wall

over the changing table / dresser.

Here's a sneak peek of the progress

with big sister Lucy helping as a size reference.
