Project Home Decor Continues

I am still slowly working down my "to do" list as I try to decorate our home, and it's going way slower than I'd imagined. One of the big items on my list is turning the Monkey's room from a baby's sweet nursery to a toddler's cool transportation themed room.

First up: cool new bedding for his crib.

Did you know you can make your own crib sheets? Yep, you can! Dana's tutorial makes it so so so easy.

I've been eyeing the adorable sets of transportation-themed crib sheets over at Pottery Barn Kids, but they're just a bit too pricey for me. So instead, I cut into some fun cars, trucks, and motorcycle fabric I got at Ikea months ago. And just like that, the Monkey has some cool new fitted sheets for his crib.

Paired with his new Toybox quilt, and I think we're off to a good start in his room. There's still a million other things I want to change up in there, but for now, he's happy with crib bedding that reflects his interests (wait, I meant obsession). And that makes this Mama very happy.

Oh, and don't think I've completely given up on the monthly projects. I'll be back later this week to share!
