{ Norman Rockwell }

last night the hubby pulled out a few of his old boy scout Norman Rockwell prints. i instantly fell in love with every single one of them. should we save them to put them all up in a future tiny bambino's room or should we put them up now and add a couple of my favorites to balance the "boy scout" vibe?

either way, i'm so excited that he has these and can't wait to figure out what we're going to do with them! 

here are a few of my favorites that he pulled out last night: 

and here are a couple of my all time favorites that i need to order asap!

{Blackboard Wall}

so we have this guest room that also doubles up as a place to store our extra large black dresser, which i find to be a bit obnoxious in a room that's full of cream walls. the full-size bed in this room is also missing a headboard and besides our laundry baskets there's nothing else in this room. in other words, we have some serious work to do. the other day i came up with this brilliant idea to play down the large overbearing black dresser and play up the fact that we have a bed with no headboard......we're painting a chalkboard wall and i'm going to draw on a headboard! in addition to drawing on a headboard i want to hang empty wall frames so our guests (since it's the guest bedroom) can show off their artistic skills by sketching something into the frames. and of course if we don't think they're the next Van Gogh or Picasso.....then we'll erase and wait for the next artist to tag up the wall (*ahem Banksy we have a guest bedroom that you can crash in for FREE *ahem)

here are a few images i pulled from the world wide web for some inspiration

before and after pictures will soon follow!
