I was given these letters at one of my baby showers for the wall of our nursery. I loved that they spelled baby in French, a reminder of our stay in France. They were up in the nursery of our first home, but never made it onto the wall after we moved into house #2… and now the boys aren’t even close to being babies anymore, so I really can’t hang them now, can I! And yet, I couldn’t bring myself to give them away!
My scroll saw savvy dad helped me change the e into a c! Thank you dad!!
And then I enlisted the boys to choose a color, and paint their letter. The b got a light grey, and the c got a coat red… and then navy.
What do you think? It adds a little interest to the plain slab doors, don’t you think? The boys are so excited about their “new” doors!

Loving your blog It’s fantastic! Did I read that right too? you’re in Vancouver 🙂 It’s so rare to find other BC bloggers, there’s a few of us, but only a handful it seems 🙂
Lots of Love

Thanks so much Ashli! Yes, I’m in Vancouver too! Well, if you don’t count the half hour drive that is, lol. : )
I’m finding more and more BC bloggers lately, it’s great!!
Hi Rosa, I’m so glad you stopped by today so I could find you. I’m another Vancouver blogger so I guess there are more than you think out there:) Do you know about the west coast bloggers group? Love your blog!!!
Oops, I forgot to say that I love the initials on your boys’ doors. What a talented dad you have!
Rosa,
Love your initials on the door! Don’t you love dad’s with power tools?? I “borrowed” my dad’s sander, its been a year and he hasn’t asked for it back!
Glad you met the above bloggers! Carol is a fantastic thrift store shopping buddy, we went yesterday out in my hood and found awesome treasures!
Never met Ashli but her blog is awesome, puts Martha Stewart to shame!
They look great and are that much more special because your Dad made them! So happy I found you… we are from Vancouver too!
