Once you find out the sex of your baby... the next obvious question is... how will you decorate the nursery? What theme will you have? And with a boy - its pretty limited. Sports. Trains/Autos. Jungle. And that's about it. There were many, many cute bedding sets with these themes, but none that Brandyn and I could seem to agree on.
So, we went with something a little more neutral. An alphabet themed decor.
Our thoughts were to use this basic bedding set... and "spice" up the room with a little wall decor of our own. I was inspired by some very pricey pieces of artwork - thank Pottery Barn Kids - framed images of popular children's books/stories (Dr. Suess, Curious George, etc.).
So after thinking about it, and canvasing my friends, I decided that I could MAKE the artwork for much less than I could buy it.
And so I did. I think it came out pretty well, if I do say so myself! ;) The finished product. I spent about as much in total, as the cost of 1 and a half of the pieces featured above.

I love this!! what a great idea! Did you get the pictures from the books or were you able to find them online?
OH, I love it! They really turned out great. :)
They turned out great! I've always wanted to do the same thing with Little Golden Books...you know, the Pokey Little Puppy, etc. I love the finished product!
Wow, Alison! I think when Alex moves to his "big" bedroom, I'm going to hire you to decorate. I would have never thought of that, but it's perfect!
Hats off to you...
That's a great idea! Did you tear the photos out of the books? How'd you do it?
SO cute! I wondered if you were still planning to use this idea. I love it! Also, I hope you realize how appropriate the ABC theme is for you. :o)
They look awesome! What a great idea! :)
So cute. I do this with scrapbook paper too. It's the cheapest artwork.
Great job and I love that idea.
