Name Game

If you recall from a previous post,  I had mentioned that Abigail's room was incomplete because we wanted to put her name up on one of the walls.  It's become a pretty common thing to do, actually.  I've seen it done so many ways.  Usually, decorated wood letters are hung up by ribbon, like this:

While that's cute, I was thinking about how potentially dangerous it can be, especially if an earthquake were to hit. I could just imagine that the wooden letters would start falling down one by one.  That's not good.  I know I could secure each wooden letter, but eh...I'm not all that motivated to nail each one to the walls, especially since we live in an apartment and I know we won't be here for too long, since we're hoping to buy a house in the next year or so.  So, I looked around to find a safe (while still being cute, unique and matching the room) way to display Abigail's name on her wall.  It took a while for us to decide how to do it, but today, it's finally here and done!  

We love love love it!  As you can see, her name is made out of puffy, fabric letters of different patterns.  Also, the colors match her room, as well as the little cupcakes.  I know you can't see it in the pictures, but the fabric on the cupcakes are swirly and glittery.  So cute!

We're securing them onto the walls with some of those handy dandy (and removable) hooks that stick on to the wall.  We were trying to figure out whether her name should be hung over her crib, or across from her crib and over her changing table.  We went with over her changing table, because hopefully she will see it while she's in her crib and learn how to spell her name! :)

Her room is now finished, with the exception of a few frames that I just need to hang.  Yay!
