We got the art from a 2009 calendar of vintage American travel posters. We had to spray paint the matting white, so the total cost for the project was $1.
Here's a look at our new bedding and art all together.We also finally got around to framing some pictures for Ethan's big blue wall in his room.
We got this art from a Christopher Wormell book we bought a while back. The frames were half-off at Michaels and worked perfectly. Total cost was $36.
It is slightly dangerous to have the art right above Ethan's changing table. Especially since he's already pulled down the stegosaurus picture.
Totally unrelated picture, but while I was putting the room together Ethan took out some books and started reading them. He's quite the bookworm.

I didn't hear any crickets. I just couldn't think of anything else.
I love your decorating! The pictures look really good and I like how they are from a calendar and a book.
Framed pictures from calendars... we had quite a few of those in our house when you were growing up! (We even had some framed large postcards and greeting cards) You proved that it is still a great idea. It saves a lot of money and provides some fun artwork for the walls. I love what you did in Ethan's room AND in your bedroom! The new pictures go great with your new bedding and the fun pillows that you made!
what a great idea to frame the calendars! i like it!
Cute, cute!! I love the shelf above the bed. I have been racking my brain for soemthing to do behind our bed and I think I am totally copying that idea!! You have definitely been watching HGTV.. :)
Love it! Looks great...both rooms. Can't wait till I have a house to decorate someday. Also got a kick out of the last post. You guys are funny.
That looks great! And I'm always for decorating on a budget--especially if it ends up looking good. Nice!
No joke I couldn't think of anything, that is why you and Ben rock me at Bananagram. The decos look fab, just like my bed skirt.
I love that one of delicate arch! I want it!
