Nursery makeover

So, as a last ditch effort I'm scrapping all of our family photos that are out in the open in our house.  I have to work some psychological magic on the peeps.  We have made 7-8 different people's top 3 lists, but have yet to receive an offer.  Always a bridesmaid never a bride if you will.  So basically we're willing to try anything.  I need to do something with our picture collage on our wall--not sure what w/o spending money or leaving holes in the wall, but all other photos are gone.  I'm probably getting ready to get rid of a few other things as well. Even though we NEVER receive negative feedback we don't know what else to do. 

Here is what I did with C's room. Here's the before pic (from several months ago-we had photos of c on the wall).





Here's the new look


Don't mind the crooked frames, please.  This was free and I did it in about 30 min.  If I was doing it for someone else I would have been more particular w/scale and drawing. 


Scrapbook letters on scrapbook paper in one frame.



Free hand sports silhouettes on scrapbook paper.  Notice the waggly lines.  Scott helped me.  I evidently have no skills in drawing sports stuff.  I'm not an artist any way, but really terrible w/sporting equipment. 

I think it turned out really cute.  Best of all it was quick and FREE.  I just used paper I already had, and put it in the frames w/the pictures I wanted to take down.  Success I think.

Very cute! I like it a lot. In regard to your living room collage, we watched this thing on HGTV where they took a bunch of artsy-type pictures of the exterior of the house, printed them in black and white at Wal-Mart, and put them in the existing frames. It turned out pretty cool and it's like more advertising for your house.
