Like to Blogroll with us?The nursery is where a baby sleeps, plays and spends a lot of time with his parents. Because of the amount of time spent in the room, decorating the nursery is important. As she grows, she’ll begin to notice the things that surround her. The decor of the nursery should be comforting, relaxing and nice to look at. Butterflies are a soothing decor theme for a nursery that is appropriate for boys and girls.
Walls:
Nursery walls should be given a coat of lead-free paint. Select colors that go best with the furniture and theme of your butterfly decor. For example, if you’ll be painting butterflies in flight, first paint your walls light sky blue as a background. Alternately, paint walls light pink, yellow or light green. On one wall, paint a mural of a field of flowers, then add construction-paper butterflies to give the wall a three-dimensional look. Put the butterflies up high enough that little hands can’t get them. Or use a projector to light up the walls with butterfly images.
Refurbished Furniture:
To continue the theme, decorate the nursery’s furniture with butterflies. Recycle an older child’s bed or find a new bed at a yard sale or flea market. Wash down the bed and let it dry. Paint the frame in a light color such as white or cream. Stencil or decoupage butterflies all along the bed. Put a few on the inside so the baby can look at the butterflies. The same can be done with an old dresser.
Ceiling Butterflies:
Large nylon butterfly purchased from Bugs-n-Blooms can be hung from the ceiling using the included fishing string and eye hooks. Paint the hooks the same color as the ceiling so you can’t see them. Spread the butterflies around so if the wind blows, the strings won’t get tangled. Also keep them high enough off the ground that kids can’t pull them or hurt themselves with them. Add some over the baby’s bed in place of a mobile. Use butterflies in a variety of colors, styles at varied heights.
