Hey guys!!
How is everyone? I am back in business! I was surprised 3 weeks ago to meet my new little guy. He was actually due this Thursday, the 10th. He had a much different plan! So, for those of you that haven’t met him just yet…
Meet Brooks!
He is wonderful and healthy and I am so thankful for him!
I did share my original plans for his nursery a few months ago. I found some fabric and had great intentions of making his bedding. Those plans changed when I was put on bed rest 8 weeks ago.
My husband is a recreational pilot, and I ran across Pottery Barn’s Madras Bedding. I loved it, and decided this was the direction I wanted to go.
I started with a very easy project to get back in the swing of things. I recently came across some great watercolor airplane prints on Etsy. I fell in LOVE. However, they didn’t quite meet my “shanty” budget at $20 a pop. I decided to use the sheets from the bedding to recreate the look.
Here are the sheets from the bedding…
I loved the airplanes on these, so I decided to take pictures of them. I did change the tone of the pictures a bit on Photoshop Elements so they wouldn’t look like sheets in the pictures.
I also bought 8 cheapo frames from good old Walmart!
That’s about it! I just put each picture in a frame and hung them on the wall above the storage system I built.
Here are the results…
This was a $24 dollar project that I love! I’m excited to get the bed out of the box and see it all come together! I have some fun curtains to share too!
Thanks so much for stopping by! I’m off to feed the fam! It’s Paula Deen Taco Soup night at my house… Whoooooop!

He is beautiful. I love your idea of taking a photo of your sheets, I may have to copy it!
Congrats on your little one! He is adorable! When are you coming back to skype? We’ve been asking about you on there!!!
That is so clever – I would’ve never thought of simply taking a picture. I will have to mentally file that idea away. I love your moulding and color on the walls too. Congratulations on your baby! And you are supermom to be feeding your family at 3 weeks already! I was completely useless around the house for at least a month after my son came along.
He’s precious! ….AND I cannot tell you how much I love the fact that you can make such fabulous things for next to nothing! You are my idol!
Congrats on the sweet baby boy! Love the decor!
What a handsome little guy! Great decorating idea for the bedroom! Thanks for sharing
