Cheap nursery art

Happy Wednesday! I’m pleased to report I have finally made some real progress on our son’s nursery. And, yes, if you’re keeping track, our little man is nearly two months old and I am still working on his room. What can I say? Total slacker. Can I get an amen from the rest of you who are with me in the “not-enough-energy-or-hours-in-the-day-to-get-stuff-done” club?  

I did manage to get one of the art projects for the room finished and photographed, so I’ll share that with you today.

I picked up this framed print at my local thrift store for $6.99.

I took out the print and painted the cardboard backing in the same color as the nursery wall.

Tip: Make sure you paint over the cardboard and not the actual print, to prevent bubbling (ask me how I know :)).

Then I primed and painted the frame white.

Finally, I put the cardboard backing in the repainted frame, then added some vinyl lettering that I printed out from my Silhouette electronic cutting tool.

What do you think?
