Featured on apartmenttherapy.com!

I was surprised to find this phrase in my inbox this morning.

“Thank you for sharing your lovely nursery on Apartment Therapy Family – look for it today.”

SERIOUSLY!?!?! lol

I should explain. A couple of weeks ago on a whim I decided to submit some of our nursery photos to a site I’ve been browsing for the past several years, apartmenttherapy.com. I used inspiration from their collection to create the room after all (they deserved to get credit for that) and figured that it couldn’t hurt to try.

And look, there it is!!! http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/christy-my-room-171353

I’m so humbled! I’ve never been “published” before. lol What a fun surprise!

My mom came into town and we had a great time working on a project I’ve been wanting to try! Check out this Tin Can Luminary Tutorial and make your own! Only extra tip I can offer is to cover your paper design with a single layer of masking tape so that the paper doesn’t disintegrate while you are working.

These first few are my mom’s handiwork.

I might be spray painting them soon so that they look just as pretty in the daytime. Right now it looks like I have 8 random cans sitting on my built in. =)
