Andy's Room {update}

Back in January, I shared Andy's room makeover with you. Well, somehow I forgot to share his wall art we finally got up at the beginning of February. I took all of these railroad pictures and LOVED how they turned out. I got huge prints from Walgreens and some cheap frames from Hobby Lobby. Total cost of the project (of course with coupons) was just under $30. YAY!

 The "1" sign is from Homewood Antiques. 

5x7 of a railroad crossing

4x6 frame I had - just cut to size some cork board and pinned tickets from "Rocky Mountain Express" IMAX movie

 Yellow license plates from Homewood Antiques

8x10 of another train crossing

Every conductor needs a train lantern!

11x14 of an engine

16x20 of a signal post - this is Andy's favorite picture. He asked me to put that one here so he could see it from his bed. Such a sweetie :)

I had to add in this picture of these guys from the previous post just because they are so adorable. 

Next up: We will be painting Alex's room this coming weekend. The weather was just too nice to not be outside. 74!! Hello!! THIS is why I live in the South! Now, I have to get to brewin' some sweet iced tea, y'all!

Gallery Wall {Updated}

Ok, updated a tad. I am waiting on my giant print of our new family photo to replace the one from last year.

But this is where I am at now with the updates. What do you think?

 You like?

My hallway in too narrow to get a better picture, but here is what I have (from left to right):

-

Small black quote block - "In everything give thanks" Bought last year on clearance at Family Christian. 

-

Our family photo art I made last year - here

-

We finally have a Crucifix - Yay! Found the perfect one at Family Christian. My brother, Sean, told me I need to take it down after I take the picture, though, so I can get it blessed. Thanks, man. Will do! (similar)

-

Next is the DIY Ornament Shadow Box. I saw a great tutorial from Two Yellow Birds Decor. Loved it so much I had to make one, too! (my post here)

-

Below that is my other DIY family photo art - here

-

Next up is something fabulous!! My Birmingham Plate that my mom and here fab friend, Denise, found while out shopping at the antique shops. And it was $1! Hang on, more on that in a sec!

-

Under the plate is something so dear to me that it will never be taken down. A picture of my Bea-Bea and Grand Daddy. He was an Episcopal priest and I remember playing in his church while he worked on his sermons. I made sure to grab it when I said good-bye to my Bea-Bea in October of 2008. Miss you both so much. 

-

Next is Andrew's school picture from this year. Such a cutie!

-

Finally, the last item to list is so much fun - my personalized subway art from PB&Jcreations I won it in a giveaway last year and I cannot wait to get another couple of items from her this year. Her shop is ahhh-mazing!! (shop here!!) We have all things special to us written out. Just lovely!

Now, how about that awesome plate that was just a buck and super fabulous?! Coolness.

Isn't that so super cool?! A Birmingham plate found in some random antique shop in Pensacola. Love it. AND! It was designed specifically for Bromberg's - where I would love a few pieces to wear on me (coughhintcoughJasoncough). I love it. Thanks again, Mom and Denise!

You wondering how I hung this with out those icky plate holders? Have you seen/heard of these?

Invisible Disc Plate Hangers. Awesome. I first heard of these on French Country Cottage and couldn't wait to get a fabulous plate. Few months later I got it! So, I needed those plate hangers. Courtney pointed me over to her friend, Nancy, who sells these (and about 500 other things I now want LOL). If you are in need of these super cool hangers for your interesting plates, check out her shop!

I'm so excited that our gallery wall is all done - for now. Just waiting on my prints to show up in the next week or so. Yay!!
