I got this little original number from etsy.

And I bought two large original paintings from ebay. One, an impasto came already framed. To make it pop a bit more I taped off the innermost portion of the frame (so it could act as a matte) and painted the frame with my Martha Stewart Cornbread sample.



I bought an ACEO photography print from etsy, and mounted it on cardstock and placed it in a frame that I also painted yellow. I bought the mother/baby etching already framed on ebay. (And OH how I love it - I might have to take that one with me when we move...)

The other painting I bought on ebay came as a stretched canvas, but unframed. I followed Jenny Komenda's tutorial to make a custom frame for it.


With still plenty of wall space left, I let Sir O contribute with some original art on a blank canvas I painted with leftover paint from the dresser/changing table.

And on another blank canvas (covered in the MS Cornbread) We started a collection of grandchildren's handprints. (You can see where we attempted to add the Captain, but having paint all over his hand proved to be more than his OCD self could handle. Maybe in a year we can bribe him to hold still).


Above the crib I created a collection of baby photos of my parents and their children. We photoshopped them all to be similarly sized and colored, then I printed them and hung them in mocha colored Ikea Ribba Frames. It's one of our favorite parts of the room!

I love it! You did such a good job on his room. Does he have a name yet? Really you are amazing. I don't feel like getting ready for the day and here you are making over/doing a beautiful nursery. Well done! Now that you are all ready I hope that little guy comes soon.
By the way the art done by both the boys is such a sweet/cute idea!
