PBK Inspired Wall Art

I've done it! I've found a project that I can do with one arm holding a baby.  I saw a beautiful wall art piece on Pottery Barn Kids a few weeks ago, and thought I would try and recreate it at some point for the nursery.  

I took a simple canvas that I purchased from Michaels for around six dollars. Then I grabbed a marker from Wynn's desk and simply wrote the words "I Love You" over and over until the canvas was filled. And of course this was all done while holding my sweet non-sleeping child, Davis.  

The other amazing part of this project is that it does not have to look perfect or be straight. That means there is no prep needed. You just need a free hand to write in some half way decent cursive. 

My canvas is approximately 12 inches by 16 inches, and the canvas PBK offers is 35 inches square. However my $6 price tag is much easier to handle versus the $400 PBK price tag. I don't know if I've ever spent even remotely close to $400 on anything hanging up in my house. I think maybe I've spent that total for all the rooms in my house instead.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you have a wonderful week. 

Nursery Wall Art

One of my favorite people in the world is having a baby in July. My college roommate is seriously one of the nicest people I know. She shared nursery art that she had seen on Etsy and asked if I had time to create something similar for her.

I purchased shelf liner in beach blue chevron on Amazon for $10.99.  For some reason though they do not have the beach blue as an option now. You receive two rolls for a total of 120".  

I cut the shelf liner down to size for an 8x10 frame from Michaels. I was able to get three frames for under twenty dollars.

I bought a giraffe, elephant and rhino/hippo combo images from the Silhouette Online Store for $.50 each. I used two 12 x 12 vinyl sheets I already had purchased and used about a half of each of them total.

Here is how they turned out...

I think this is just what the mom-to-be had in mind. I really hope she likes them.  Enjoy your day.
