Jaime from That’s My Letter didn’t disappoint when a friend requested a set of display shelves similar to those sold by Pottery Barn Kids. Jaime teamed up with Ana White to build shelves that can easily be customized to fit any wall space. Why spend $49 or even $79 (ouch!) for one simple shelf when you could build your own for only $11?!?
Whitney from Shanty 2 Chic added a set of bookcases to the list of furniture items she has constructed for her daughters’ shared bedroom. Whitney followed plans by Ana White but built on the functionality by creating a cubby storage space on the bottom. The simple addition of the boards will keep toys contained on the shelves and is cheaper and easier than hunting down baskets that fit perfectly.
After getting bunk beds for her boys’ room, Jen from Scissors and Spatulas wanted a wall-hanging book bin like those from Land of Nod for her little guy on the top. There was no way though she was paying $70 for “a few pieces of wood.” Jen’s hubby grabbed some scrap wood and trim pieces from the garage and put a book rack together with just a few screws and nails.
Jen painted it blue, and it’s just like the real deal. The only difference… about $65!
On Infarrantly Creative I recently shared this heart tree wall art that I created as a baby shower gift for a friend. I love all the bright colors and modern style of this piece and think it will be a great fit for the nursery. I definitely couldn’t have pulled it off without my Silhouette Cameo! Maybe it’s just me, but I think Land of Nod’s Love Tree and my Heart Tree may have been twins separated at birth {wink}.
Hayden from Haven created an adorable set of super hero pillows for her boys’ bedroom. She repurposed her old college dorm room curtains for the pillow cover and then used an iron-on method for her text. Hand stitching around the edges gives them a more finished look and adds durability so they survive life with [...Read More]
After making a custom pirate sail headboard for one of her sons, Melissa from The Happier Homemaker couldn’t turn down her oldest son’s request for a headboard of his own. She loved the look of PBK’s Camp Bed but not the $600 price tag. Melissa also wanted just a headboard and not an entire frame. [...Read More]
With a pirate-obsessed son on her hands, Melissa from The Happier Homemaker knew her little captain would love a bedroom to reflect his passion. She found some great inspiration in an old Pottery Barn Kids catalog and replicated a piece of wall décor for a creative sail mast headboard. I love all the details Melissa [...Read More]
All the beachy summer décor gracing the pages of Pottery Barn Kid’s catalog has been great inspiration for Kim from Sand & Sisal who has been working on her boys’ surf-themed bedroom. In just a few hours and for zero dollars Kim was able to create a 6-foot beach pennant to hang across their wall. [...Read More]
