Steampunk baby curtains

I also got a swatch of the steampunk aviation fabric generously loaned to me by the fabric creator (see photo on this from May blog). The fabric is $30 a yard and takes 3 weeks to get so if you do buy fabric from Spoonflower makes sure its exactly what you want. The swatch shows the fabric to be even prettier than I expected, the color is more sky blue than teal which is how my screen displays it. Since i will be using the fabric as a shear rather than a heavy curtain I am now just debating on the weight to select for it.

Artwork

I found this fabulous print on etsy by a talented local artist. You can view more of Mike Dutton's art on Etsy. I love the steampunk and fantasy combination. I get a sense of adventure and whimsy from looking at the print. I have this on order and we will need to find the right frame for it. I think it will be a great addition to the room. Now we are debating about whether or not to paint the nursery or leave it tan like most of the rest of the house.

Baby Room items

After an embarrassing long break I am picking back up this blog. We are pushing toward our housewarming party and starting to seriously decorate the nursery so I hope the decorating block i've been suffering from will soon lift! I just ordered these whimsical balloon hooks for the baby's room. I think they will go great with the fabric I want to buy. I've got a swatch of the fabric on the way and then we can move onto paint etc.
