When I was pregnant with my second son, we moved my older son out of the nursery and into his very own big boy room. I was going to leave the nursery as is, but last minute I decided to re-do the nursery. Therefore, I wanted to create the nursery quickly and on a small budget, since this was the second time around for that room.

Stenciled walls are increasingly popular features in nurseries and kids' rooms: they are cheap, easy to create, relatively easy to remove (just re-paint), and add a touch of fun. But...what if you can't paint? Well, Emily, who decorated this room for her daughter Pippi, had the perfect solution: decals!

Sometimes musical play indoors can seem a little wild, especially when you have multiple toddlers in the mix. But now that Spring is here, and outside is a little warmer, why not grab the boombox, your favorite kids CD or two, and take your mini maestros outside with one of these simple DIY instruments?
