Krista of The Happy Housie turned ordinary clear varnished paddles from a sporting supply store into knock-off versions of the Oar Décor from Pottery Barn Kids as part of revamping her sons’ new shared bedroom space.

Abby from Just a Girl and Her Blog is currently giving her boys’ room a makeover, and they needed art! Abby says she’s too cheap to buy “real” art and knows she can get exactly what she wants through DIY. Abby found a Land of Nod piece that provided awesome inspiration and made her own with basically a stack of scrapbook paper and scissors.

There’s something really satisfying about putting your own personal touch on a space, especially when it’s for someone you love!” SO true!!!

It gave the lamp an upgraded nautical look that fits perfectly in her son’s new nautical camp style bedroom.
