New Cowboy Wall Art

WARNING:

This is just a quick look at Christians NOT DONE AT ALL vintage cowboy room! Its just a jumble of recent purchases, things I already had, things made and just PLACED in Christians room. As I make, purchase and find the items I need to finalize his room things will be moved around and finally placed at the right place.
So, basically this is just how it looks right now and a lot of items hanging on the wall were just placed because there were pre-existing holes from Christians old set up.

Ok, so this is the bedding we purchased for Christian at a garage sale! The family was making a move to Utah and needed to get rid of everything! She gave us the queen size bedding ( Christian had a Twin size bed before....), 2 mirrors shown, throw pillows, the little red lanterns, 2 different cowboy clocks, lots of wall art and accessories. It was such a blessing!


In the corner by the rocking chair I'm planning a little sit area with shelving for putting away books and toys. I would like it to be against the wall and in a "L" shape with seating on the top and the shelves on the bottom. I would like to make Christian also a little area with a huge chalkboard so maybe that will be my project for this weekend!

This is a vintage trunk that I love. Goes perfect with Christians room, adds some whimsy details to his room and is storing some toys right now!



This frame I got at a Goodwill and put a vintage "pin the gun on the cowboy game" in it. I love it. Its a really fun and CHEAP alternative to buying vintage or reproduction wall art! It's also a fun piece to talk about!

Howdy Partner!


This I made yesterday also. I got a set of 3 frames at the thrift store that were a teal color and distressed the frame and added a more off white , grayish color to it with some of the teal showing. The picture is from a vintage book that is about horses and just happen to have this PERFECT picture of this little cowpoke! I added a vintage sheriff badge and a gun from the vintage cowboy game above and the word "bang" from a vintage scrabble game.






I have a set of very sweet vintage puzzles (which I'm going to put in my store ) and I decided to use this puzzle and frame it. It's also a fun and cheap way to make some wall art. It's really fun because Christian helped me do this project. I just love how kid friendly it looks and how kitchy it is!






This shelf was put together in like 5 seconds. Made mostly of things that Carter loved to mess with in his room and I knew he would break so I transfered them to Christians room. The little cowboy was a thrift store find.


The tin signs were given to me at the yard sale where I purchased christians bedding!


Cute little vintage bisque indian sits watching on his a vintage "I" block.


I love this old picture given to me by Caleen! It's perfect for Christians room!


Antique music sheet from 1902 purchased at a flea market in San Diego!


I hope you enjoyed just a little look into Christians room. Now Im thinking of changing Carters to a more generic vintage room just full of stuff I love and cant sell and make it all work into a lovely vintage toddlers room....or thinking of a vintage surf or beach theme cause I found some really retro beach signs yesterday at the thrift store. What do you all think?!

Goodies

Hello Dear Friends,
I hope all is well and everyone had a wonderful Easter! We went to a local church that had about 50 thousand eggs for their egg hunt! It was a very interesting thing to watch all the kids pick up the eggs. Christian would go from one place to another picking up different eggs like he was picking and choosing and the older kids would sit in one place and just collect all that was around them...literally scooping them up!
Its like Halloween at our house because of all the candy collected!!

Talking about sweet look at some of the items I have found and will be putting up for sale. My Etsy shop has under gone a huge price reduction to get some of these things moving! Let me know if you would like any of the items here before I list them!

Selling Carter's mobile. I love this mobile but its just sitting around in the closet since Carter doesn't use it anymore. It can be turned into a cowboy mobile (like I did) by putting on the cowboy hats or it can be even girl friendly since its an original Merry Go Round mobile. The music is " You are my sunshine". Its a really cute piece! -$40.00

This one is soooooooooooooooooooooooooo beautiful oh my gosh! Marie Antoinette all the way! She is even more beautiful to me because her face is so perfectly cracked and her hair is like so perfectly still curly and up so cute! Her dress is a soft peachy pink with dainty flowers on. She no longer has any arms and only one leg but I think that makes her even more special. She has the most beautiful blue eyes also!

Cowboy Carter- A new canvas wall hanging

Carter's room is a favorite of mine since it's one I really spend lots of hours,days and months on! Everything was hand picked or made or found but there was always a corner of the room that I knew I needed to change! It needed a picture or something!!!!

So yesterday I experimented with a canvas I had and different colors and textures. I layered lots of vintage pictures, pages from cowboy books and added a vintage cowboy playing card and sheriff badge!

I went over the itmes with paint and some special texture "stuff" to get a special effect! I love how it turned out!

What do you think?
