nursery

Cut out the transparencies so you can paint straight over them??
That's how my friends used to do their t-shirt stencils!

I just spent the whole weekend stencilling teddy bears onto our nursery wall and that was a real pain in the bum (and back, and knees lol). Depending on how big you want your pictures Spotlight do acetate paper (I think that's what it's called) where you cut out your own stencils.
Our nursery is all fininshed now - just waiting for baby to arrive (but not too soon!!!!) Had a little blub over it last night too

Hahahaha..... was just having a chuckle at myself as I spotted the monitor in Sam's cradle in the picture above.

Thats a bit OTT hey? He was only 2 hours old there and we had just got home from the hospital and I naturally was off to bed hence being "stuffed" from all night labour. I guess I was worried I wouldn't hear him??????

How you change as I only remember having the thing turned down as low as possible and the base unit on the other side of the room under the change table. After a few weeks you will do anything to get some sleep!

Jax the stick on's are about $35 I think but in the pack you get the full set of Winnie, Tigger, Eyeore etc.

Perhaps if you know a school teacher they may be able to get their hands on one of those old type projectors.

I would go for cutting them out and painting them as you go, and cut out more bits as you go would be quite fun i reckon

i was going to say that too, or cut the pics up piece by piece like a puzzle, that way you can draw around the outline of each one to make up the whole picture. those stick ons sound good though.. i was wanting to do something like that for Ayja's room, but have opted for painting pictures and framing them too as her wallpaper is icky (the only room in the house WITHOUT white walls.. very 70's pattern instead) and i don't think the stick ons pictures would stand out enough. the nice thing about stick ons i suppose is that once baby gets older, you don't have to do a whole heap of re-painting, just peel em off and find new big kid ones.

We have just had a heap of fun with the girls rooms and decorating them. haven't fully finished as we are still looking for a disney princess (or any really nice pink) double bed duvet - cos paris is in a double bed... it is proving more difficult than previously thought. The thing i have found that have not yet bought (though plan to next week) is bunnings warehouse here have the cutest light shades, and they come in winnie the pooh and disney princess.. so once we get them it will finish off my girl's rooms apart from a few minor details (have also seen some cute winnie the pooh toys for $10 each at warehouse in all characters)

another nice touch is that most places like warehouse and kmart sell the photo frames with winnie etc on them too.

i always said i wouldn't do winnie the pooh for my child's nursery, but it's cute and easy to find heaps of neat stuff, so why not. Ayja thinks they're neat too.

Well, I popped into Spotlight this avo and was quite disappointed - it was all Disney Pooh, and not cheap !! Will wait a while though and keep looking for a bit, because I'm still not sure stenciling won't be difficult, as far as the type of detail that I'm after.

Yup, checked that but they are Disney ones as well *sigh* Am thinking I'll either have to give up on Classic Winnie, or give up on it altogether - it's just that I bought all this gorgeous classic WTP linen and duvet covers and stuff !!

Warehouse has winnie stick ons as well?

Don't give up Jax becuase you can definately get the classic Pooh stick ons. Try Baby City, I think I may have seen them there??? Or check some other Spotlight stores because when I got Sam's I had to go to 2 of them to find the ones I wanted.

I will be in Spotlight down here this week some time as I am looking for wooden letters to paint so can have a look for you??? Will let you know if they are here and maybe they can send them to a store near you?

The Pooh set is cute isn't James' mum?! The back bumper doesnt fit our cot though which was a pain, hence why it is just draped over in the pic.

You could get a Classic Winnie Wall border here
and if you are not into the whole border thing you could always cut them out and use the pictures individually
