Steph's Original Comment/Entry:

"1. Steph

2. Chandelier in Black, Iron Vines in Midnight and Graphite

3. I'm a new stay-at-home (aka on a budget, aka, broke) mom who is desperately trying to make my son's nursery a fun, stimulating room. The chandelier decals would work perfectly in his room on the wall opposite his crib, as I made his bedding out of a scrap of Michael Miller's "Chandelier" fabric. The Iron Vines would look great in the bathroom which is white, white, white (tile and walls). We aren't allowed to paint anything. Help me (and Super Eli) break away from all this blah!

The bathroom (and Eli's nursery) look super, Stephanie! Thanks for entering!

Thanks! They were kinda a pain to put up (especially the ones on the ceiling) but are totally worth it. My boyfriend and I just walk in there now and look at how pretty it is.

Now I want nice towels to go with...

Plain old black towels might look cool.

Yeah, we went through Target the other night and found some dark gray and black towels that would work but they're just not in the budget at the moment; babies just kinda suck up all of your extra money :).

I was trying to introduce color into the room, but I really like the super contrasty black and white thing going on now.
