And did you spy my little secret in Sammy’s mirror?.

on here as well and I love the way they look in the room with all of the other fabrics I used in here.. Can you spy that extra little plug hanging there on the tree?There are a few of those as well so you can plug in any other lighted elements that you might like to add.

We often used lighted angels for our tree toppers, but I thought it would be fun to use a Toronto Blue Jays hat for Jack’s baseball nursery.Is it cute or is it just totally ridiculous looking?I’m not sure, but at least it’s fun!.

Chris says he’ll be starting renovations on Kennedy’s room in the Spring, so I’m hoping to get another tree just like this for her room next year.I’m so thrilled with how cozy it makes Jack’s room feel..

I always seem to be forgetting about tree skirts, so I just stole the throw from the living room and used it up here.

Here’s how it looks in here all lit up at night.. You might be thinking it’s a little unfair that Jack gets the beautiful tree while Kennedy has to wait until next year, and you’d be right.These particular parts worked well for 2 main reasons.

First, the upper and lower rails were very close to square and secondly, the spindles were not wider than these upper and lower rails.. (These are the ideal dimensional consistencies to work with and require no modifications.If the spindles are wider than the rails, the rails will need to be widened using strips of wood or if the rails are round or curved then straight strips of wood would need to be attached.).

For this tutorial I will refer to these as “crib sides” however, you may find other reclaimed materials that meet the above criteria regardless of their use in a previous life.. For our project we used the following hardware:.4 appropriately sized “L” brackets (we used 1.5″ x 1.5″).
