Displaying the Name

My days are now occupied with just about three things: work, researching and registering, and enjoying the kicks and movement of a very active baby.

As I go through these days I'm both physically and mentally acquiring ideas and decorations for the nursery. One that is on my mind quite a bit is how to display our daughter's name.

The obvious choice is to hang those wooden letters on the wall, each probably hanging by a nice ribbon tied in a bow on top. But I just feel like that's done so often... I'd love to do something else.

Perhaps I should paint her name on a sign to hang... But I wonder if it would look a little too messy/homemade. Hmm.

I'm curious what other people have done. Anything a little unique, or different in some way? Please share!

  1. I bought a custom felt name banner from Crafty Mommy on Etsy. You can pick any color you want! I'm very pleased with how mine came out, and it's wonderfully made. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?ref=vt_related_2&listing_id=40034538

  3. I wouldn't call it unique or anything, but I have my daughter's name in alphabet blocks on her bookshelf - Anne is stacked on top of Elizabeth. I might also hang an A on the wall at some point, but even hanging the prints we DO have has taken us this long, so who knows ;)
