Dressing Up the Walls

Here's a little corner of our bedroom where we have a glider. The space now has some décor for Santino.

Before M was born, I made him a mobile, so I thought it would be nice to do one for Santino as well. I searched online and came across several DIY circle type mobiles like this one and this one.

Here's the end result.

 

The view if you're sitting in the glider looking up.

 

I had a lot of fun making this!

 

To dress up the walls, I found some free art printables online that I printed out on my ink jet printer and placed in frames that I already had or purchased in a garage sale.

Aren't these sweet? They can be found at The Handmade Home.

 

This one is available at Crisp Family and comes in three different colors.

Between U and Me offers this free printable.

The next wall features some other art.

This and many other scripture printables can be found at Beautifully Rooted.

Maximus painted this when I participated in a link party post hosted by Anita from Castles Crowns & Cottages. I think it's pretty good for a 2 year old, don't you? Then again, I'm a proud mama! This picture frame was a garage sale find that was white and Rob spray painted it black for me.



I found this patchwork metal "S" initial at Marshalls for under $7 and decided to paint over the washed out white color to give it a little more pop. We went with a royal blue using acrylic paint.



The birdie canvas was also purchased at Marshalls and since we love birds, I couldn't pass it up when I saw it.



Here's a name plaque/sign for Santino that I painted. It's supposed to have a distressed, old world style to it. I ended up doing one like this for Maximus as well, since the wood on the first one I painted for him was cracking.

Overall I'm happy with how things turned out. I still want to get a cross and hang it on the wall. If you're looking for some fun and free printables or mobile, be sure to check out the links I included.

Happy day!
