Now that the living room is underway, I'm starting to figure out what I'm going to do in Baby Hutson's room. You might remember it as looking like this:
The walls are going to be some kind of light, non-pastelish green by Sherwin Williams But the thing that I am most concerned about right now is my plan for decorating. I want to have illustrations from nine different children's books framed and hung on the wall in a three frame by three frame square. My plan is to either cut the illustrations out and frame them (which I have done before) or attempt to make high quality color copies of them and then frame them...that way they could all be the same size and I don't have to ruin nine books. So if you have experience doing that, let me know.
Here are the book options that I have so far:
by Judith Viorst
(I have this one in French from Paris.)
These books are compiled from books that I enjoyed as a kid, books that I've enjoyed while babysitting more recently, and also books that I became acquainted with in Children's Literature at Wheaton. Am I missing any? Do you have favorites? I have to narrow it down to nine. Help!
This is a really cute idea. And it totally makes me think of Reading Rainbow!!!
ReplyDeletePut my vote down for Madeline! and Corduroy. and Babar. We read a lot of the same books.
All of them are great. Officer Buckle and Gloria is one of the boys' favorites!
ReplyDeleteBefore I read your post I thought: "Where the Wild Things Are," Olivia," "Winnie the Pooh," "The Runaway Bunny," "Guess How Much I Love You" and "Goodnight Moon."
ReplyDeleteI had to stop myself. I have millions more!!!
P.S. You have to have "where the wild things are" (you don't have a choice on that matter).
