What?! Three more days?!

Holy smokes the days are flying by! I truly can't believe it. Seeing that number this morning, lit a fire under my bottom to get the last of my baby to-do projects finished up. One of those on the list was the above the crib decor.

I wasn't completely sold on what we had prior. It was a little too busy visually, and although the shelves were securely anchored, not the safest for the lil' buckaroo if the house started rockin'.
Sooo...after weeks and weeks of cruising online for ideas and shopping at the local favs, I decided to go the DIY route. A month or so ago I sent dear Jack with orders in hand to pick up a few yards of fabric at Ikea. Along with my must haves he also picked out two yards of this colorful Fredricka tree pattern.
I’m not sure why I hadn’t tried it on for size before, but after removing the existing shelves and décor we had hung, and duct taping the print above the crib for giggles, I was sold.

My initial thought was to frame the fabric, but after a quick test run, it was a bit too busy took away from the fun whimsy print.

I love the end result! Safe, colorful, fun and cheap (you can never beat cheap). Woohoo, one more to-do crossed off the list.
