Then I tied the strings onto a painted embroidery hoop and hung with fishing wire. To anyone who wants to DIY, it was a really quick and easy project! I popped circles out of craft paper with my hole puncher and then just sewed them together in a straight light with my sewing machine.

I made the mobile (just like I did for Owen’s room), but this one was much simpler and I’m much happier with how it turned out.

Even with a similar color scheme, it turned out so differently from Owen’s nursery. I used furniture we already had, and pieces of Owen’s crib bedding (that I had made for him) and used those colors as a jumping off point for the room. I love the warmth of the grey/brown walls, and the way the whites pop off of the saturated color. So as Emmett grows we will likely have to switch his room with the playroom down the hall (much bigger), but for now, the tiny little room makes for a super sweet, cozy little nursery. We had a queen mattress on the floor in there before Emmett was here and there was barely enough room for anything else. Now I guess it’s not so much a “reveal” as a “hey, my 2nd baby has a room”, but, I know some of you might want to see how it turned out. (Looking back, apparently I did the same thing with Owen’s nursery). Emmett is almost 5 months old, but I’m just getting around to sharing his nursery reveal now.
