Hello, that is a long title!  I can’t stand using such long titles, but sometimes ya just gotta get it all in there.  Monday I shared with you the “Narnia” door, and today I want to share more updates to the playroom (which I am doing as part of Fall In Love!).

I knew I wanted to hang a gallery wall in a grid form above the sectional; there was a great big expanse of white as you can see here:

#EclecticallyFall #WorldMarket cozy velvet pillows and rug

I knew I was going to use the Ikea Ribba frames for whatever art I selected because they are sleek, come with a mat, and are super affordable.  Based on the measurements of the wall and frames, I figured out a layout that would work best and came up with two rows of 5, for a grid of 10 frames.

Once that was established, I could move onto artwork.  I LOVE The Animal Print Shop, and knew I had to have some of these prints in our playroom.  (By the way, this is not sponsored- I just really love the prints and was excited to have them!).  The kids were each told to select two from the “Little Darlings” collection, and I chose one.  Sawyer chose the wolf and lion, Emmy chose the deer and bunny, and I chose the bear.  As my birthday gift, my awesome mother in law ordered them for us!  That took care of 5 of the frames, and I needed to come up with something for the other 5.

I decided to create my own art with quotes from the books that inspired this space: The Chronicles of Narnia, Harry Potter, Lemony Snicket’s Series of Unfortunate Events, Alice in Wonderland, and The Wizard of Oz.  I wanted them all to be black and white, but with different fonts, and I used picmonkey to create the designs I wanted.  I saved them all and sent them on to Staples to be printed on photo quality paper and they came out beautifully, and for just over $5 total!

I framed them in my Ikea frames, and then the hardest part was hanging them. They aren’t perfect, and there might be a few extra holes behind those pictures, but I am happy with it!

And I apologize for the slight glare- I turned off lights, and tried every angle!

Now let’s take a closer look at the actual artwork.

I really love the pairing of the sweet animal faces with the black and white graphic quotes.

I still have loads of last minute things to do, but this room is getting there!  (You may have noticed I painted the trim, too!).  Hoping to get everything checked off this week, and next Wednesday will share the entire space.

And now guess what? I am providing you with the links for these printables so you can have them, too!

    I am in the midst of planning a nursery and these prints would look adorable!! I like that they’re not fuzzy lambs and overdone kid’s quotes. Sleek and stylish. Love love love.

    Well, I can’t wait to see the whole room and once AGAIN you nail it!! Your kids are so lucky to have you invested in their space too! I had a room very similar to this in my last bigger house. SO wish blogs had been popular when I raised my boys but I guess I was just too busy with their activities to have this kind of vision. I really love what you have done!

    Love these! I think the grid is a great option, instead of a big honkin’ painting. I really like the artwork and quotes you chose. I’m afraid mine would run to the profane, if left to my own devices.
