A thrift store find....

I have been looking for book storage for my sons room for awhile. I just didn't love anything.. until today!! I stopped by this little thrift store and spotted this beauty in the corner. It holds records and the lady seemed a little shocked that I wanted it so bad - guess she didn't see my vision lol!! I thought about spray painting it but my son loves to read and this thing will get a lot of use so I decided to leave it the way it was. It may just be one of my favorite finds....

I love fabric banners...

I made one of these a while ago for my daughters room but it needed an update.. so I thought while I was doing that I could make one for my sons room too!! Once I started I just couldn't stop - they are THAT fun!!




p.s I buy the fabric squares at Walmart for $1.00 a piece - super easy and cheap!!!

Boys room wall art....

I am so stoked about how these turned out!! I am so glad to be finished with this wall art. I tried so many different ideas and just could not get down with the way it looked. I was at a dead end until I thought up these guys! These were surprisingly easy to make..



I used some spare plywood and cut it into 12X12 pieces... I wanted it to look like a canvas with the wider sides.. so I cut some 1X2's and nailed them to the plywood. I just googled die cut stickers and found some cool motorcycle and four wheeler images. I cut them out with my cricut and used that as a stencil.Then sanded it down a little - which is a nice way to hide all the mistakes I made when painting- trust me there are ALOT!! In fact.. as I am looking over these pictures I am noticing that I left a little green paint on the side of one of these boxes... not even sure how it got there!! You might be surprised where I find paint after I finish some of these projects!!!

TADA!! I am in LOVE :) I had enough left over to make one more that is a little bit bigger in size- I have a cool idea for mothers day .. hopefully I will finish it before the day comes and goes!! I am doing great at starting projects but not so good on the follow through and finish part!!

Easy circle pillow

I found this cute bedding for our son at Ikea.. I love it!!! I wanted to make a cute little pillow to match... so i took this pillow he got for last Easter. I wish I would have taken a picture.. I was to excited !! I took some white fabric and sewed a cover. Then I took some left over green paint from another project ( I will show you later - IT IS SOOOOO COOL!!) I used a little plastic cup to create the circles.. just dipped the rim into the paint and stamped in onto the cover. DONE!!!

Art photo frame collage

I made this fun art collage for my sons room.. I love that we can just switch out the art in the frames for a new look!! Sorry about the very blurry pics..


This is one of my most favorite pictures from him.. this is a picture he did of himself in the sunshine!!


Some of these are printables and some more art from my son..


When I saw this printable I knew it was meant to be in my sons room.. since he was a baby he would tell me "love you to the moon and back" - plus the little monsters in the basket look like they would fit in well with my monster!!


I love these giant clothespins I found at Hobby Lobby!!!
