I’ve been giving our guest room a bit of a makeover to include a little nursery space for my very first grand child who is scheduled to arrive next month. I can’t wait! You guys, a sweet baby boy will be here soon! I’m so excited, I can’t stand it!
Materials: I found this old oval wall art at the thrift store for 3.99.
I had the wrapping paper and felted deer head (used in our stairwell/landing makeover originally. I looked and it’s no longer for sale…sorry but I did see awesome paper mache deer heads at Michaels that would work well too…plus you can paint/decoupage to coordinate with your room.). So this is a thrifty treasure for me…just $3.99 for the dusty framed print + shopping the house since I had the spray paint on hand already too.
What I did: Gave everything a good cleaning and removed the backing from the frame (set aside).
I spray painted the frame gold and let it dry.
I traced the oval backing onto chevron wrapping paper. I did glue the wrapping paper over the print on the front. However, it’s not required if you’d like to preserve the print.
Then just reattached the backing to the frame.
I hung it on the wall and hammered a nail in the center to hang the felted deer head and added a DIY banner…just card stock, Project Life cards (scrapbook section at Michaels) and twine. I added a string of mini LED fairy lights too.

And yes…it’s crazy here. From Halloween to baby shower to some Christmas decorating, a guest room/nursery makeover, an entire home before/after in progress (family members), always Young Living recipes, events and sharing my story, and another small apartment nursery nook.

Have a great week!
Oh I’m so in love with this! You did an amazing job! Congrats on the new grand baby! You certainly don’t look old enough to be a grandma!
This is so cute! I absolutely love it. I’m never as lucky in the thrift stores sadly. Must try harder 🙂 x

How thrifty and adorable is this. I too am going to have my first grand child come April and am making a space for when they visit…I have already done a sweet bed with bumper in gray and white. If it’s a girl, I will do a pink sheet, if a boy, I will do a blue one!
It turned out really beautifull!
I may never be a mother but I really like this idea and if I am blessed to have children I am for sure going to make this. It really is a cute spin off of the real thing and falls right into my style.
