Target Inspiration: Elephant Art

Saw this in the wall art section of my local Target. I think it was $29.99. 

Made this today for $0 with stuff I had around the house:

I whitewashed a piece of plywood with old ceiling paint and the edges are painted pink with leftover spray paint. Glenn nailed the 80 nails in for me. They don't all match but I like it that way. I just printed the first picture and he hammered right thru the pic. Easy!

Can't wait to hang it up tomorrow!

Nursery Art #2

For Christmas, Glenn's sister made me these cool picture hangers. They are two boards with super strong magnets holding them together. The pictures get sandwiched between two 1x3s if that makes sense.

I got 4 12x18" pictures printed (cause I couldn't decide) on card stock at OfficeMax. My total was $1.38. Love that. Didn't have any cash and charged it. Hate that.

I used 3M picture hangers and 15 min later, all done. Oh and here is a picture of what I hung above the crib before we announced his name.

I hope he loves his room as much as we do!

Shadow of My Man

I've had this blank frame hanging in Lincoln's room since before he was born and I finally got time (a nap time that is) to finish it and make a shadow box!

I put two of his newborn pictures, his baby bow tie and our hospital bracelets and hat.

And now he's crying so I can hang it back up!

Nursery Art

I've been having fun finding new art and pictures for the baby's room. Here is a little of what I've found (and hung). The room is coming together, but it is serving as our second guest room over the holidays so the last few touches will have to wait til after Christmas.
