Showing off a sonogram is a big day for many parents. Although they're incredibly special, they can still feel a little creepy and don't exactly "blend" with most folks' decor. But your thoughts on that are about to change with the help of this antique divided dresser drawer and some thrifted finds.
Over at Lemon Tree Creations there's been some crafting going on! It's always nice to take something that doesn't feel like it has a place in your home and give it a permanent residence.
For many parents-to-be, sonogram photos are passed around with initial excitement but end up later in an office drawer forgotten about. Instead, check out this cute shadow box display Erin made to keep this joyous moment in time on permanent display. See all the details of how this came together att Lemon Tree Creations.

Super cute! I guess I'll go dig up the sonogram photos from my office drawer...
Cute idea!! I wish I had known, just bought a shadow box for my sonogram! XD But I'm stealing the bunting idea :3 <3
The idea of a shadow box is cute & the bunting idea is cute too. But this particular design is just creepy to me. Maybe a coat of white spray paint would have made it more my taste.
Something about this particular drawer in the dark, paint spattered wood, feels very heavy and post-apocalyptic to me. It looks like something out of Fallout.
Er, I was sort of expecting to see something done to the drawer beyond putting stuff in it. I think I'd have either cleaned off the splattered paint or painted the rest of it (maybe leaving the insides unpainted) ... but something to make it look like it didn't just come straight from the garage.
First of all, I don't get why a sonogram is creepy. I have my son's in a really cute frame intended for sonograms, and it would go with most people's decor.
Second, this looks anything but permanent. I can see having this up until the baby is born, but, definitely not keeping it around.
Third, this is one of the highlights of the week?
Stole this awesome idea! :) Thanks for the inspiration!! But used an ikea shadowbox frame instead:
