Mod-Podge....

I have been hard at work in Baby Boy's room. We Painted his room a few weeks ago. It was an awful mess! Painted over wall paper on 2 walls and the other 2 walls had to be fixed and sanded down cause someone tried to remove the wall paper and it looked as though someone had had a sword fight in there. Hence the reason they probably stopped and just painted over the other papered walls. Our house is a prime example of Wall Paper gone terrible wrong...whoever did it...didn't know what they were doing. And we are the ones paying for it! So after a LONG hard week of working on the walls and prepping them for paint...finally my little man has a freshly painted room. The color...Vintage Blue. Love it!! It is so soothing in his room. I wanted his room to have a vintage feel cause i wanted to display some old vintage airplanes and cars. I wanted to make his room feel not so much like a baby room...wanted to do something that would grow with him. The hubby loved the idea...he loves airplanes (he has his private pilots license) so i knew he would love it. :) I had already picked out the fabric and made his bedding. But i will have to keep you in suspense awhile longer on his bedding i'm trying to personalize it today. I will have it ready to show tomorrow. SO here is a few decorations i have been working on. First the hubby pasted down a Photo that he had. A few years ago we went to "Sun and Fun" in Florida. He was in heaven. Lots of Planes for him to look at. They had the Memphis Bell there AND one of it's past pilots was there signing photographs. PRETTY COOL!! So he got one. I dug it out of a packed box and headed over to Hobby Lobby to get a frame and mat. Came home and put it together.




Next i hung something i found while i was at Hobby Lobby! Yep, an airplane Propeller!



Then i got out the Ol' Mod-Podge and added a little something extra to this Letter i had. Ripped up some paper that looked like old letters and podged it on.





Next on the agenda is to Repaint that shelf you see and also another shelf "Project" that the hubby helped me out with. It's pretty cool. Can't wait to show ya. :)
