We are finally in the process of finishing Ainsley's big girl room! (hopefully this week)
With our small budget in mind, I set about making her some artwork while keeping the shabby chic theme in mind.
Aren't they cute!!!
And SO easy!
Paper dolls were a favorite of mine growing up and I wanted to incorporate them into Ainsley's room somehow. I found a shop on Etsy that sells printable pictures and for $2.95 I was able to print these paper dolls out. Cool, right!
So, I printed them out onto regular cardstock, making sure my printer settings were set to "photo quality".
Then, I purchased some mismatching photo frames from my local thrift store, spray painted them a creamy white, and lightly distressed the edges using a fine grit sandpaper.
Finally, to give it a really shabby chic look, I created my own mats out of vinyl shelf paper!
Just cut and trim to fit!
All in all, I think I spent a total of $15 for 3 pieces of artwork for Ainsley's room. Awesome.
Can't wait to do the big room reveal soon!
In the meantime, she is still doing very well in her big girl bed!
I love it. :)

ReplyDeleteHayley,
ReplyDeleteThese are super cute! The paper dolls actually look really familiar :) The bed with the draping is beautiful. Ainsley is lucky to have such a beautiful room. Thanks so much for linking up to Creative Thursday this week. I can't wait to see what you link up next. Have a great weekend.

Just found your blog and enjoyed reading about your daughter's bedroom. Love the paper dolls and her bed. Could you tell me the source for the pale blue duvet on her bed? I just love it. Thanks so much in advance for any information you can give me.
