On our recent trip to visit Baby Katy, I saw some adorable creations in her nursery! I also discovered the most amazing fabric art at the Philadelphia International Airport—Kay Healy’s “Coming Home” life-sized fabric mural in Terminal E. (Click on photo above for a larger view). I couldn’t stop looking at all the intricate details!
Now for those fun nursery ideas . . .
(1) The top picture is “She Art” lovingly created by Katy’s Aunt Shannon. Visit Christy Tomlinson’s blog (the founder of She Art) to learn more about this art form.
(2) The owl and flower paper collages are by a lovely interior designer and friend of Katy’s mom and dad. Please check out her web site at Ashley Heath Design. (And we loved how the flowers coordinate with Katy’s new mobile!)
(3) Katy’s mommy, author of the delicious cooking blog Consumed: My Culinary Adventure, made this beautiful curtain “gift-wrapped” with ties sewn from a coordinating fabric. I love it! ♥

Adorable 🙂
Aren’t they??? That nursery is just a happy place. 🙂
Aw lovely 🙂 I remeMber making the nurseries for my babies. such a precious time 🙂
The murale of coming is awesome!!! And I love the wall art too. Beautiful!
It’s so inspiring to see other people’s creations! What a fun bonus on our trip! 🙂
That top piece by Kay Healy is amazing!
I know!!! I’ve never seen anything like it! I almost wanted to move into the window display and just live there. 🙂
I love that every thing in the nursery is made by an artist, and her mom. When I was expecting my first I had never tried to make anything and didn’t know I could, how far I’ve come. My son’s nursery was furnished with store bought curtains and Home Interior wall pieces. How I wish I knew then that I could have personalized it myself. Fast forward to grand-children and my children have asked me to make some of the items in their children’s rooms. I have made curtains, and samplers, painted and so much more, but I don’t have the talent to aspire to these beautiful pieces….yet.:-)
I went through a “store-bought” period of life, too, so I totally understand. I’m glad we’ve both come back around! And I know your children and grandchildren treasure everything you make for them! 🙂
It’s so funny because they do. It’s the homemade and the adult hand-me-downs that they enjoy more than the store bought anything.
I love your taste 🙂 Sounds like you had a great time. I am in love with those curtains
Me, too! I want to make some like that for my kitchen window to replace my plain ol’ valence. 🙂
the coming home mural is just amazing…..!
I know! And are you picturing it LIFE-SIZED? I never knew you could do things like that with fabric! 🙂
it is really an art!
So nice 🙂 love it

I do, too! 🙂
I may have to explore more on Kay Healy, I love that piece. Gorgeous 🙂
I know! I’d love to meet her and ask her about a million questions! 🙂
That mural is so amazing, can’t imagine how much time was invested. You really are surrounded by talent aren’t you, no wonder you are so inspiring.
Thank you for the compliment! Maybe some of these lovely people ARE rubbing off on me a bit! 🙂
What a crafty family and friends you have!
I love the owl (I collect them) and the mural is gorgeous. It reminds me of one that was hung in my city’s main art gallery for awhile. It was called the Quilt of Belonging and measured 120 feet long and 10 feet high, containing 263 squares, representing 71 Aboriginal tribes & 192 immigrant nationalities in Canada. It was the most fabulous piece of fabric art I’d ever seen. If you want to check it out, here’s the web address http://www.invitationproject.ca 🙂
Thank you for the link!!! I never cease to be amazed at what people can create!
Ah only if there were more hours in the day my nursery might look like this. Very cute.
I know what you mean! 🙂 But a lot of different people contributed to help, so that makes it nice. 🙂
Adorable! 🙂
An adorable nursery for an adorable baby! 🙂
