Well, it only took a few months, but we finally finished Taso's nursery decor! My mom, Carol, and my younger sister, Ariel, are the masterminds behind creating these items and bringing my vision to life, so a huge thank you goes out to them for making this room look so great! Take a look at what we did to make our tiny little dino's room perfect!
When I decided on this dinosaur theme, I knew I wanted bright colors! We found fabric that my mom used on several different items to make a crib blanket, changing pad cover and a Boppy Lounger pillow cover. She really did an incredible job on these sewing projects! (I'm trying to convince her to open an Etsy store so that she can sell this kind of stuff!!) The crib sheet is a different dinosaur fabric, but still incorporates the same bright colors.
We found wooden letters to spell Taso's name that we painted and attached above the crib, and I applied some vinyl dinosaur footprints to the wall to finish it off. The large wooden dinosaurs above the changing table were from Hobby Lobby, as is the dinosaur claw hook that we put on the wall. The crib blanket is incredibly soft gray fabric on the back to keep our guy nice and cozy (when he's big enough to use a blanket) and the bright colored fabric in between the dinosaur patterned fabric. The Roar, Stomp, Chomp blocks were created using my mom's Cricut machine and painted blocks.

I also enlisted the help of Ariel and her side-hustle called Artistic Accents by Ariel to create a couple of custom string art signs to hang in the room. My other boys also have their own custom boards (I'll be sharing their room themes in future posts) so it was only fitting to give Taso his "Haley" name board that several of the Haley cousins now own, and a stegosaurus string art to go with our theme. The boards turned out so great and are awesome quality! Ariel designs these boards based on customer request, so check out her website to order one for yourself and follow her on Instagram @artisticaccentsbyariel to check out some other works of art!

We also have a few other items left to hang up and one of my favorites is the set of dinosaur cut-out paintings that we created. My mom created the cut-outs using white card stock, and we had Leo create three finger paintings that we placed behind each cut out to give it color! I love that Taso's older brother contributed some works of art! My mom also created a stats sign for Taso using her Cricut (this machine is truly amazing!) And finally, we have our Jurassic Park stuffed dinosaur to complete the theme and use for Taso's monthly pictures to show how much he grows in comparison!
I absolutely love how this room turned out and I literally could not have done it without my mom and sister! If you're interested in purchasing items from either of them, leave a comment and I'll put you in contact to create your custom orders! Like I said, my mom hasn't been convinced to start an actual business yet, but hopefully this gives her the push because she is so talented! Hope you all enjoyed the decor reveal and look for future posts to see Leo's Space theme and Xander's Woodland theme!
