Baby Room Posters
Do you remember my post about poster inspiration found here? We really needed to fill these empty frames, so we got to work this weekend.
2 are finished. I just came back from Staples and realized I printed them too small. We'll just keep that a secret between you and me. I don't think our guests will notice and our little baby probably doesn't care. I really should have had them printed larger so that there would not be an almost hidden 1/8" gap at the bottom of the poster & to make the words fill the frame size.
We carried through the colors of the room-brown, white and green. We wanted the frames to coordinate the smaller frames found here that coordinate with the drawers. One of my favorite children's books is Guess How Much I Love You by Sam McBratney. We stole this phrase from the last line in the book.
Poster 2 was taken from a popular children's song that I have always loved.
How did we create these? Gimp. It's a free program similar to photo shop that we use frequently! They really did not take much time and we played around with the texture tool that I've never used before to add a little extra love to these posters.
Poster 3 will soon be finished and then we can show you the final reveal of this nursery and let you know how much the entire room costs us.

Loving the baby room decor!!! I am expecting numero 3 in July and we moved to a new house and the room is bright orange with no furniture, love the color but have been stumped for being frugal with decor, thanks your ideas have helped get me going on ideas LOVE the look you got!!
Hi Amy- I discovered your blog through your post on Money Saving Mom. I LOVE LOVE your creations using the Gimp program. I am not familiar with this program at all and was wondering how difficult it is to learn? I could save SO much money on artwork and definitely on holiday cards! Thanks!
