Hot Air Balloon Up and Away Baby Girl Nursery
Baby Lifestyles | Feb 09, 2012 | Comments 0
We recently featured this hot air balloon baby shower, put together by a family of seriously talented and creative women. It featured geometric patterns, DIY projects, soft colors and incredible food. With a group of women this imaginative, we had to know what the room that inspired this party looked like. Here’s a peek at Willow’s nursery which led to the up and away baby shower.

She used Kim’s welcome sign as decor. ”I absolutely loved all the graphic shapes and fonts Kim used in the shower’s details!” The “it’s a girl!” sign from the shower sits in the corner.

Ashley made the bunting by folding paper doilies over a piece of pink yarn that she strung across the room to mirror the scalloped wall.

This picture is from a vintage Mary Poppins record book that her sister-in-law had from childhood.

After seeing this print found on Etsy, the idea for the room was born. Mom Ashley used blue geometric wrapping paper as a back drop for scripture graphics she made with photoshop.

Ashley found some quilt hoops at a thrift store, spray painted them and used scrap fabric from Willow’s crib bedding to create coordinated wall art. This homemade apple core quilt was from Ashley’s best friend Angela.

Remember these incredible hot air balloons that graphic designer family member Kim made? They now hang above Willow’s crib as her baby mobile.

Ashley took the cake topper
and framed it with a photo from my maternity photos by Jamie.

Another spray painted quilt hoop had gray felt stretched over it. Ashley used a scrap of fabric to create the “W” and blanket stitched it on. She made the rug from a canvas drop cloth for only $10. She measured out the points and painted it in with some left over wall paint from another project.

She painted a scripture on the wall above the window using a computer print out, carbon paper to transfer and paint.
What a gorgeous room! Thanks for sharing with us Ashley! Did you miss the hot air balloon up up and away baby shower? You have to check out it out!
