With the nursery we decided to keep the paint colour that we had on the walls - it's a gray-sage green (I could look up the Benjamin Moore colour...but I'm not...), and we thought it would work for a boy or a girl (babygroupie was a surprise for us!). That cut down on some of the baby room prep, and to keep it gender neutral, I decided on a navy and coral colour scheme. To add some interest to the walls I did a simple DIY art project - it's all over pinterest / blog land and is the easiest craft ever.
Start with wooden rings that you can get at any fabric store - i lucked into a buy one get one 50% off at Fabricland, so I picked up a number of rings in different sizes.
From there, cut your fabric to size for the loop you are filling. Tighten the wooden loop over the fabric, and trim the excess fabric.
To lay the art out on the wall, I cut out circles in newsprint and taped them up until I was happy with the arrangement.
And voila! DIY nursery art that adds a pop of colour (and catches the little guy's eye!)

So cute! I made some a few years ago and although they have changed spots, they are still around. Love the fabrics you chose.
wow!! that seems like something I could actually do. i have so much sari fabric just lying around.
These are so cute! What a great idea and a fun way to incorporate a bunch of different fabric!
