Planes, Planes, Planes!

We live in post housing and not new post housing. We live in old post housing!  Although I love our floor plan there are many things left to be desired.  We have office building carpet, linoleum that is made to look like hard woods, the ugliest cabinets known to man, and of course 20 layers of paint on the walls lol.  We are allowed to paint, but that comes with the stipulation of having to paint it all back when you move out.  I started out thinking oh who cares its not that hard.  I'm painting any and every room in this place.  Then I painted Buggy's room.  Although it turned out super cute my motivation for painting soon flew out the window.  Now I am stuck with trying to come up with other ways to enhance each room in our home.  Right now I'm working on our son's room.  He is only 18 months old so he could really care less, but I want him to have a room straight out of better homes and gardens lol.  Problem with that is I'm no interior decorator and lord knows the army doesn't pay enough to hire one.  So what do you do, you go to pinterest.  Little man's room is themed in Old school airplanes.  I found a few cute paintings and some other things to go in it, but I really haven't found a lot.  Because of this I decided to create something to help spruce up the walls.  I'm very happy with the outcome. 

In all there will be 6 or maybe 8 depending on how much room 6 take up. Of course the pinterest version the pictures were framed in real frames.   After pricing frames I decided that was just way to much for my budget so I improvised.  I went to Michael's and got the 9x12 artist loft canvases.  They are flat and just the right size. Because the walls in his room are white I decided to paint the canvases a bright color.  I used plane old acrylic paint and had to put 3 coats of paint on each one.  I got the pictures off the Internet and printed them on regular ink jet printer paper.  Then I mod podged them onto the canvas and voila.  I really do love them and can't wait to see them hanging on his walls!  All in all it cost me 15 bucks for the entire project!
