    I wanted to create a cultural/travel themed nursery for my second son.  I’m 2nd generation Indian and my husband is 4th generation Chinese, so I wanted to reflect both of our cultures in the nursery.

        The room looks great! I am very interested in the name/birth time sign, was it a DIY? thx!

        I love the multi-cultural inspiration. I bet your baby looks really beautiful! I haven’t seen how Indian/Chinese would look combined, but I know multi-racial people are exotic and just rare beauties. I am multi-racial myself so I know. LOL!

        Yes, it was DIY and a real labor of love! I had my parents write out his name in Tamil (the Indian language they speak) and I found an app online that had Tamil font. I enlarged it and printed it out. Then I cut it with an exacto knife and traced it onto the canvas (after I had painted the canvas blue with some leftover wall paint). I filled in the characters with acrylic paint markers. I did the same with the Chinese characters.

        We think our boys are pretty cute! That’s the beauty of Hawaii, practically everyone is multi-racial and they’re all gorgeous and unique!
