			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s been a while since I&#8217;ve shared some <a href="http://pinterest.com/nicoleabbott/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a> finds — and since I&#8217;ve been spending way too much time on the site (as usual) I though it was about time we brought back our <strong>Pinterest Monday</strong> feature.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Scroll down to check out some of the things I&#8217;ve been pinning recently — and be sure to follow me on <a href="http://pinterest.com/nicoleabbott/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a> for more inspirations! <em>And if you don&#8217;t have a <strong>Pinterest</strong> account yet and would like an invite,</em><em>just leave a comment asking for an invite and we&#8217;ll be sure to send you one.</em></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8387" style="border: 0pt none;" title="Chevron Ceiling Fan in Kids Room" src="http://www.chiccheapnursery.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/FAN2.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="750" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I&#8217;m over-the-moon for this DIY chevron fan blades project featured on <a href="http://www.designsponge.com/2011/07/diy-project-chevron-pattern-fan-blades.html" target="_blank">Design Sponge</a>! Maybe it&#8217;s just my chevron obsession — but I think it&#8217;s fan-tastic!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8386" style="border: 0pt none;" title="Pink Polka Dot Nursery Chair" src="http://www.chiccheapnursery.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/fashionvsdecor.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="698" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I&#8217;m suffering from serious chair envy right now. I love everything about this chair — the shape, the studs and the polka dot fabric. Perfect for a girl&#8217;s room! <em>Spotted on <a href="http://www.dailydreamdecor.com/2011/05/fashion-vs-decor-for-teenage-girl.html" target="_blank">Daily Dream Design</a>.</em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8384" style="border: 0pt none;" title="Colorful Wooden Knobs" src="http://www.chiccheapnursery.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/4colors2.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="550" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">These colorful wooden knobs <a href="http://www.chocolatecreative.bigcartel.com/product/new-wooden-knobs" target="_blank">Chocolate Creative</a> can be used as hardware for a dresser or nightstand and I think they are just perfect for a nursery or toddler room!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8383" style="border: 0pt none;" title="DIY  Stacked Frames" src="http://www.chiccheapnursery.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/DIY-stacked-frame-5.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="769" />This super amazing DIY tutorial for stacked frames from<a href="www.positivelysplendid.com/2012/01/diy-stacked-wall-frames.html" target="_blank"> Positively Splendid </a>cannot be missed! I need to make one right now — seriously. Don&#8217;t you feel compelled to make one yourself too?</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8385" style="border: 0pt none;" title="Pregnancy Photo Ideas" src="http://www.chiccheapnursery.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/90775748708743695_F8EqUUJo_c.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="825" />Here&#8217;s a fun pregnancy photo idea from <a href="http://deanajohnson.com/" target="_blank">Deana Johnson Photography</a>! It&#8217;s so important to document those nine months of pregnancy — since they slip by so fast. This bubble-gum-popping pose is a must-try if you&#8217;re planning on taking a few shots to document your growing bump.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Furniture shopping can be lots of fun — until you realize you can&#8217;t afford any of the things you want. <em>I mean, $1000 for a dresser — are you kidding me?!</em> That&#8217;s why I love DIY furniture revamps. You can make a fabulous piece of furniture on your own, for a fraction of the cost of a new item!</p>
<p>So put on your DIY warrior hats and check out these <strong>3 DIY dresser upgrades</strong> from around the web that are sure to inspire a weekend project.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8117" style="border: 0pt none;" title="DIY Dresser Turned Costume Closet" src="http://www.chiccheapnursery.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/costume_closet.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="822" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>DIY Costume Closet</strong></span><br />
If mama&#8217;s little baby has grown into a big girl who loves to play dress up, we can&#8217;t even picture a better costume closet than this! Jennifer, of <em><strong>Rambling Renovators</strong></em>, and her husband transformed an old dresser into a one-of-a-kind costume closet with some paint, wrapping paper and a little imagination. Check out the <a href="http://ramblingrenovators.blogspot.com/2011/12/chloes-diy-costume-closet.html" target="_blank">DIY details</a> on their blog.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8116" style="border: 0pt none;" title="Anthropologie Dresser Knock Off" src="http://www.chiccheapnursery.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Pic-2-1.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="408" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Anthropologie Ordinal Dresser Knock Off</strong></span><br />
The ladies of <strong><em>The Real Housewives of Bucks County</em></strong> did an amazing job of transforming an old dresser into an <em>Anthropologie Ordinal Dresser</em> knock off. Sure, this project may not be for a DIY beginner — there&#8217;s a lot of sanding and wood cutting involved — but it certainly seems worth the hassle! Check out the <a href="http://www.realhousewivesofbuckscounty.com/2011/10/anthro-ordinal-dresser-knock-off-style.html" target="_blank">DIY details</a> on their blog.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8118" style="border: 0pt none;" title="Pink and Orange Painted Dresser" src="http://www.chiccheapnursery.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_9948.jpg" alt="" width="405" height="640" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>DIY Union Jack Painted Dresser</strong></span><br />
This project almost made Sheridan French, of <strong><em>The Southern Eclectic</em></strong>,jump in front of a bus — taping a straight line for painting, on a dresser with lots of grooves like this one, can be a pain — but we think the end result looks fabulous. I love the color combination! Try your hand at a Union Jack design and paint your old dresser into a beautiful focal point for the nursery. Check out the <a href="http://sheridanfrench.blogspot.com/2011/07/furniture-re-vamp-x-four.html" target="_blank">DIY details</a> on her blog.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Chalkboard as decor is a trend that just keeps getting bigger and bigger. And the truth is, I can&#8217;t get enough of it! If you&#8217;re not a chalkboard fan, you will be after you check out these inspired decor ideas.</p>
<p>If chalk dust is the only thing keeping you from embracing this trend, I&#8217;ve got good news for you. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00251G48E/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=chchnu-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=217145&amp;creative=399373&amp;creativeASIN=B00251G48E" target="_blank">Chalk markers</a> and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000GAXN4Y/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=chchnu-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=217145&amp;creative=399373&amp;creativeASIN=B000GAXN4Y" target="_blank">dustless chalk</a> have been invented. <em>Yay 21st century!</em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6315" style="border: 0pt none;" title="5 chalkboard projects for kids rooms and nursery" src="http://www.chiccheapnursery.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/5-chalkboard-projects-for-kids-rooms-and-nursery.png" alt="" width="620" height="1390" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">1. <strong>Art Wall.</strong> Let your little one&#8217;s imagination soar with a chalkboard wall. Some chalkboard paint and hanging <a href="http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/20206000" target="_blank">caddies</a> are all you need to create a drawing area that will provide your artist-in-training endless hours of fun. <span style="font-size: x-small;"><em>Source: <a href="http://feltsocute.wordpress.com/2011/05/16/chalk-one-up-to-the-power-of-paint/" target="_blank">Felt So Cute</a></em></span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>2. Chalkboard Dresser.</strong> It&#8217;s easy to stay organized when you know where everything goes. With a chalkboard dresser, you can label your drawers and have all of your tot&#8217;s items handy. I think this idea would be ideal on any type of storage system &#8211; like bookshelves and storage bins. <span style="font-size: x-small;"><em>Source: <a href="http://gallery.apartmenttherapy.com/photo/la-marco-and-shannas-dramatic-and-stylish-home/item/263261" target="_blank">Apartment Therapy</a></em></span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>3. Chalkboard Headboard. </strong>I love the idea of a chalkboard headboard for a guest room or child&#8217;s room. It&#8217;s perfect for leaving inspirational messages for your guests or tots. <span style="font-size: x-small;"><em>Source: <a href="http://www.inspiredmrsstevens.com/2011/01/wee-my-diy-on-hgtvcom.html" target="_blank">The Inglenook Decor</a></em></span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>4. Chalkboard Table Top</strong>.  A chalkboard-top table for a play room or nursery provides your kiddos with an activity table they can actually draw on. It could also work as an <span style="text-decoration: underline;">awesome</span>, and kid-friendly, coffee table. <span style="font-size: x-small;"><em>Source: <a href="http://www.diyideas.com/howto/WorkWithWood/coffee-table_ss10.html" target="_blank">DIY Ideas</a></em></span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>5. Chalkboard Labels. </strong>These babies allow you to label almost everything in your kids&#8217; rooms &#8211; like jars, plastic bins, and toy boxes. And it&#8217;s easy to change the labels when needed. Just wipe! <span style="font-size: x-small;"><em>Source: <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/62355867/get-organized-rectangle-vinyl-chalkboard" target="_blank">Bradens Grace</a></em></span></p>
