ABC Wall


Alphabet Wall!

      One of the major things I knew I wanted in the nursery was an "ABC" wall. Thanks to Pinterest, when I began getting nursery ideas I found pictures like this that I loved. 

    I definitely wanted the letters to be wooden, but they can be so expensive when bought individually! I was about to purchase an unpainted set from Etsy for about $75 when by luck I found a baby store going out of business who sold me 25 of the letters for $20...Score! I picked up the missing "A" at Michael's for a couple bucks.


     Next, we (Mom) just spray painted the different letters white, pale pink, hot pink, silver, and champagne. We took extra "pearl mist" spray paint from the chandelier and did a top coat on all the letters, adding a little "shimmer". You know I think there can never be too much shimmer or bling!


     I think the end result is super cute. I used putty to hang the letters since they are smaller, and it saved us putting 26 holes in the wall. 

 ... Can you tell I'm a teacher? Hopefully she will learn her ABCs in a flash! If not, at least it's a cute decoration!

  2. I love reading your posts of the crafty stuff you've been making, but I'm really starting to feel like I've been super lazy this summer! Now I'm feeling a little more motivated to clean out my closets and get to crafting something!

    Glad to hear things are going well!
