Does this look stupid? (Nursery related) Updated PIP

JunkieBrewster

So, today I spent a few hours cutting, sewing and cornstarch pasting these to my nursery wall, as well as hanging these hot air balloons that I made from paper lanterns. I also id this pegboard wall to sit over the changing table and hold things like blankets, hats, diaper inserts.

Now I am second guessing it all now that its done.

Seriously, be honest.

Please ignore the lack of baseboards, those go in next week.

I know a few are crooked, and I'll fix those later.

Updated:

I am much happier with it now that I got the curtains sewn, and re-did the drops. 

They were still wet when I took this picture.

I also took another picture of the hot air balloons with the curtains (the curtains arent crooked, I swear!)

Also, no picture, but I did buy white wire baskets for the pegboard storage. I NEED the storage because we're now officially out of bedrooms and I am using the baby's dresser to store my tons and tons of yarn, lol

It looks much better, but still needs to be framed.

I think the fact that you made the decorations makes it very special!

I think it looks nice! And since you made them all and did it yourself is very nice and something to be proud of!
Awesome work!

I think they are cute. My suggestion is to space the raindrops out a bit further if possible. I think a bit more space between them would look a bit better.

It looks really nice! Good job

It's cute! I wish I could see the full room to understand the overall look. The raindrops are adorable and like others said, it's sweetest because you made it yourself. 

Give yourself a day or two without even going in there and then go back and look at it. Right after you've finished a project is when you'll be most critical.

I think its cute. I would have to see the whole room in one pic for the full effect with furniture but good so far.

I like the rain drops and the hot air balloons. But I don't care for the peg board. To be honest the laundry baskets look a little cheap, sorry not trying to be rude.

They're little dollar store storage containers, but I do plan to get some wire baskets next time I hit Home Depot!

I think the raindrops should be spaced out and more scattered rather than in straight rows across.

I'm not a huge fan of the pegboard either but the others are amazing! You're very talented

I like the hot air balloons. I think the rain drops would look better if they were spaced out and a little more random. I don't really like the baskets sticking out of the peg bboard, but I do like the idea of the board.

I actually dig the pegboard. What would make it look a bit more finished would be to throw some molding up around it.

I like it!

Cute! Kind of has a Wizard of Oz vibe with the rainbow rain drops and the hot air balloons. I dig it!

It's 2tbsp of cornstarch, and 1/4 cup of boiling water mixed. As it cools it thickens into a paste and you can just brush it on. It was really hard to get off and I even damaged the wall, but once I sprayed water on the felt, it peeled off super easy.

Raindrops-too perfect. What if you alternated them instead of straight rows and columns? I really like the idea, just not this particular execution. Lanterns- super cute! Pegboard-cute, but make sure the baskets are out of baby's reach . They are small but strong!

I alternated the rows but not the culmns. My slight OCD wouldnt allow me, haha.
