Nursery Room - Alphabet Wall Decor

As I mentioned on Friday, I had my first baby shower on Saturday.  It was so much fun!  Kalia is going to be one spoiled little girl when she comes into this world, and having so much actual baby stuff is making me so excited and anxious for her to get here!  I'll post more on the shower later...

...but having so much baby stuff also made me really anxious to get some more stuff done to Kalia's nursery.  Less than 10 weeks till my due date, and my belly is just getting bigger and bigger.

I've had wall decor for above the daybed for quite some time now, but I knew it was going to take some patience to get it up.  Why?  Well, because I found these alphabet cards on Etsy, and fell in love.

With all 26 of them.  They actually went out of stock before I could buy them, so I looked all around for alphabet cards that I liked just as much.  The only semi substitute I could find was these cards from The Land of Nod...

Which made me laugh.  The first one is A is for adjustable wrench.  They're right up my ally!

But really they weren't quite as cute as the initial ones.  Luckily for me (and Kalia!), the Etsy store owner convo'd me back when they had another set in stock.

I looked all over for picture frames that weren't too expensive (I did have to get 26 of them!), and finally settled on some from the dollar store.  For $1 a piece, I couldn't beat it!

The frames, shockingly, compliment the flash cards pretty well.  I went back and forth between black or white frames, but Erin and Chris both liked the black frames better on the light gray wall.  I think with the alphabet letters being black, they were definitely right!

There was a lot of measurements and math to get this to come out exact with the correct spacing, but after I had figured all of that out, it was simply a matter of me holding the level while Chris marked off where the frames would go, and then nailing 26 nails into the wall.

Yes, if we ever change our mind on these flash cards, patching the wall is going to be a pain!  But I really love the way these tie in with the pillows...

And the overall daybed wall in general!

I definitely love a nursery that has a lot of decor on the walls.  Not busy by any means, but just filled.  I think between the bookshelves and this wall, Kalia's going to have a lot of fun stimulations for her little eyes!

It's definitely much better than where we started.

I'll show you on Friday how all of this looks with Kalia's bookshelves.  Hope everyone is having a great week so far!  Happy Wednesday!
