Cartwheels In My Mind: Anatomy Of A Room :: A Vintage Nursery 02, Wall Art.

Happy Monday everyone!

I hope you all had a great weekend...we went to a local farm that is currently making a killing off of all the parents selling into the whole fall/pumpkin patch craze (raising my hand in the air...waving it wildly from my perch on the old wagon holding 2 bales of hay and there-by qualifying it as a full fledged, ticketed hay ride.). But from all the photos I took on our trip, it was the ones that I snapped by the side of the road by the wildflowers on our way back to the car that I loved the most...

And just like that I knew what the main artwork on Gracie's nursery walls is going to be.

Once I decided which photos I liked the best, I used the vol25 eyecandy overlays to make them into quirky pieces of art that I can have printed on canvases (I like mpix for canvas printing!) to create the right mood for the rest of the room.

I'm thinking a big print of the one where London is kissing her and then smaller ones of the others. I don't feel like they are the best photos ever, but I do feel like they fit the feel I'm going for...what do you think?

Prepping these photos for printing has gotten me in serious make-over mode. I can't wait to decorate an entire room at once (not going to lie...it's my first time...usually I get bored and start in on another and then come back to it!)

Speaking of fun things for her nursery, I wanted to share the quilt I found at a local flea market. It is the biggest yo-yo quilt I've ever seen (big enough to steal from the edges to make projects throughout the room!) and it made completely out of the inside of old feed sacks. So yeah, that was pretty much one of the happier days of my entire existance...and what I'm basing the feel of the entire room on (I feel like the photos went with it). I love that there are enough colors that I can really use a wide variety if I want.

And with that, I'm going to close for now..but later I've got a my first handmade project for the nursery...a feed-sack pillow. So be sure to check back! And if you have inspiration that you think might fit into this whole plan, please share them either in the comments or on our flickr group. I'd love to hear your opinions!
