Our Super Mario Nursery

A collage of photos from our Super fun (if I do say so myself) nursery. You can go back through the blog posts to see in progress pictures.

Mario Mobile

We have had these little figures done forever, but I finally got around to making them into the mobile they were intended to be. I think it turned out very cute.

For the ring, I used a clear plastic ring that came on a scarf I bought from Target.  I wrapped it in yellow yarn and then hung the bead figures from it. We did the moon, a mushroom, a cloud, and the one that is turned is a feather. 

Ready for baby

I just thought some of you might like a look at some of the details of our little baby Mario's room. I am sure that we'll be adding to it as we think of things. But for all intents and purposes, baby boy has a place to sleep, play, be rocked, and learn. I hope you have all enjoyed our nursery journey. It's been so fun blogging this experience.

Hermione cat is thankful for the rug to sleep on. Little does she know what is coming for her.

I found the basket at Target. They had navy with red trim and red with navy trim. I got one of each for his toys.

I found this little toadstool ottoman and thought it would be perfect for the room.

Luigi piggy bank

One of my best friends made this cross stich for us. It turned out so cute! I am so blessed to have such talented friends.

Custom shelves

We saw these shelves back when we were still brainstorming our room.  My hubby, being the awesome handyman that he is, decided to take a crack at it. We are pretty excited with the result.

The unpainted shelf



The finished, painted shelf! I love it.   You can also get a peek at the lamp that my sister in law made for us.  She is a potter, and special made the Bob-omb for us.  And then some of the plushies that our best friends got for us. 



Oh, and a bump shot. 4 weeks!

A blast from the past

Given the pixelated nature of the Mario games, we decided that it would be very easy to do something like today's project. We both used to make these little plastic figures. You know...the ones where you put the plastic beads on a peg board and then iron them so that they melt together. We figured that they would make a good mobile or something, so we got a giant bucket of the beads, printed out inspiration pictures, and set to work. I think they turned out awesome. What do you think?

Working on the red.

Hubby made the green and I made the red. He got a little iron happy.

The moon!



An assortment of the figures we made. Now to figure out how to use them.

Italian Plumbers Beware

I decided to forge ahead and finish the plant today.  Maybe it doesn't seem like much, but I am going to be having a baby in less than two months. Yikes! I better enlist all the help I can get.

As you can see, the cats are hard at work...supervising?



Outlining...this is one of the most frustrating things for a perfectionist.

Oh look! Luna cat has decided to wake up and help now.



The final product! What do you think? I love it!
