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!

Your family is just like my niece’s. She is excepting number 5 (a boy) who will be welcomed by 2 older sisters, an older brother, then an older sister. Not sure the age of your little ones but hers are all under 7. Congrats!
So glad Brooks is doing so well & y’all are settling in! Isn’t it nice when you can finally manage some creative time? Take care, girl!
Hi! Stopping by from tt&j. Congrats on your new addition.. hes adorable! I love the nursey too. Very chic! Also, I would love for you to share this at my friday link party. Its new so I would love to have you link up 🙂
The nursery artwork looks super cute, but WOW — it’s hard to follow a baby picture like that! Cutest baby picture I’ve ever seen. Brooks is a cutie pie! Glad he’s doing well. <3
How many variations of “cute” can I squeeze into one post?! 😉 Totally justified here…
I’m a new follower. Congrats, he is adorable! LOVE the nursery too!! 🙂

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤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

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:-)
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!!!
He’s such a little cutie!! Congratulations! I love that you used edited photographs of the bedding, that’s such a great idea!!
that’s a great idea to take pictures of the airplanes. So adorable!!
