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!

      ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤I built my own using the plans at www. WoodworkPlans.info – highly recommended you check those out too. They are detailed and super easy to read and understand unlike several others I found online. The amount of plans there is mind-boggling… there’s like 16,000 plans or something like that for tons of different projects. Definitely enough to keep me busy with projects for many more years to come haha

  1. What a little angel!! And I’m so flattered you named him after me:-) LOL Congratualtions on your new bundle of joy!! Just seeing his precious face makes me long for a sweet newborn to snuggle with:-)

  2. Brooks is adorable. Congrats and so happy that all has turned out so amazingly. Love the sheet print and how clever to take pictures of the airplanes. I really like that it isn’t so childish, the print. This summer I was blessed with my first grandchild, Brently, aka Mr. B. He too had a rough start into this world, he was stuck in the birthing canal and wasn’t breathing when he was delivered. After 5 days in the NICU he was able to go home with his Momma & Daddy. Mr. B is now 3 months old and is turning into quiet a little haas. Even though I have 3 boys, (23-21-16) this little man just melts my heart everytime I see him. Love you girls work!!!

  3. 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.

  4. 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!

  5. What a cutie!!!! I have a premie who is now 27 yrs.old..he was born almost 2 months early..he just couldn’t wait to see what the world was all about!! So glad he is healthy!!! ENJOY each day!! cause before you know it he will be 27 just like mine.

  6. Oh my, is he precious or what…Congratulations. We have all been praying for that lil man of yours…and you too. Glad your back in business…..does he have a tool belt yet?
