Opt for a boho chic vibe and whip up a few (okay, more than a few) paper flowers. Then, make a collage on your wall with all shapes and sizes. Your baby is about to have the most stylish room in the whole house. (via Glitter Guide)

Modern Nail Art

Pick up a pack of nails at the hardware store to create this wall art. Simply print out bold letters and trace them on the wall. Then, hammer nails into the shape of each letter and add yarn.
