Gay Paris | Vacation inspired art!

One of my more memorable vacations was our amazing trip to Paris when our daughter was just six months old. She was young enough to nap a lot and when she was awake she happily played with her toys in the stroller. The best part? Parents with young children get to skip the line at museums! When we got back I was inspired enough to create two pieces for her room from our trip using just a couple of Ikea frames, a few sheets of scrap book paper and some acrylic paint!

Make your own customizable art | Easy DIY Kids Nursery Art

When we were having our first child we looked around for inspiration for artwork. We didn’t know the baby’s sex, so we didn’t want to pigeon-hole ourselves with something too sweet or too boyish. At the time, scrapbooking was pretty huge and I LOVED all of the patterns available. So I came up with this idea for ABC art. This artwork is easily customizable to match the decor of your child’s room by simply picking scrapbook paper that matches your colour scheme.

We love DIY Painted furniture!

Painted furniture – one of the easiest and most inexpensive ways to make an old/tired/ugly piece of furniture new and beautiful again!

Two weeks ago, I posted photos of my new dining room sideboard and the super-cheap, super-easy DIY “artwork” I hung above it. This replaced our old Ikea hutch, which had moved with us from our apartment and was supposed to be only temporary in our new dining room. But alas, it ended up being there for close to three years until we (mostly me) made a decision and had our new, custom sideboard designed and built.
