GUEST BLOGGER: Katie Gates
My great friend Katie has a great eye for decorating and of course...finding a good deal. I asked her to tell us about her latest project in her sweet baby boy's room....
These prints are from Etsy. You can find them here. The prints are 10x10 in size and they are $10 each. My sister in law actually bought me these prints for emmett's room. She told me that you can email the lady that sells them and she will customize the prints to what colors and letters you want. It just happens that the pics on display are also emmett's room colors.....charcoal and orange. But you can do any color. I was so excited that megen gave me these. I then went to Michael's and found frames. Now, frames can get pricey, especially when you get a mat with it. I found really nice wood frames with a mat on sale for $5.99. They were on sale for a reason though. The color of the wood was absolutely AWFUL. It was sort of a diahrea-ish color if you like that sort of thing. So, I bought the frames and then Brad spray painted them for me in white. It's like $2 a can and we actually already had it. Make sure you get high gloss when you are doing frames. The final result:


I love how these turned out! Thanks Katie.
