Let me just give a little info to where I'm headin'. We built our house in 2011. So, we will have been moved in for TWO YEARS (wow, already?) in December. My big boy, Drake's room was decorated in a hunting theme. (I had to stray away from the John Deere for my sake on ONE thing) & My baby girl, Dru's room was decorated in a vintage nursery.
So, forward two years: THEIR ROOMS ARE STILL NOT FINISHED. Most of Drake's decor came down with the demolition of him being a normal 3 year old boy, right? Maybe, Maybe not. He would NOT leave his wooden ducks, canvas', or antler picture frames alone! So, they're all on the top shelf in his closet until he is "old enough" to leave them alone. Well, I've decided to change his room theme to Super Hero. (I think) Am I allowed to start another project when I haven't even finished one? Don't ask my husband.
Dru's sweet little nursery is just perfect! Besides the fact that Drake (older, wild, rough brother) tore her personalized vinyl decal name that was above her crib. So, it looks like this non-artsy farsty mama tried to free hand it. Not cool, Drake. And the fact that my mother has yet to hang up my old baby dress in a frame that she got for Dru, that hangs to the right of her crib. Hint, Hint Nana! I also have a rocking chair & an old mirror in my garage that I'm going to paint "tomorrow" (if my husband asks) because he's threatening to take it to our warehouse if I don't get it out of his garage that it's been sitting in for 2 months. Oops.
Anyway, what I'm getting at is I needed some new wall decor for their rooms. Something for Drake's that could go with just about any theme & something for Dru's! My sweet friend, Chelsey, who I cheered with in high school & attend her daddy's church (TheBOD.TV) started making (HAND DRAWN) personalized prints! I did both of my kiddos birth stats on each & they turned out amazing! You NEED to check out this little artsy fartsy, mama-to-be's Etsy shop here & order your own!
Go on, do it!
Whoa, whoa, whoa - stop the boat! I think you are artsy!! I've seen super cute wreaths, adorable headbands and lots of cool paintings all that you have made! What's not artsy about that?! Give yourself a little credit Momma! Also, I'm a notorious starter of many unfinished projects that my hubby gets onto me for. I have great plans just limited time, it'll get done "tomorrow" eventually!
