Liam's New Room

Now that we have baby #2 on his way, I have been working on changing our spare bedroom into Liam's new room. For the past three days I have been working on some pottery barn inspired decorations for his room. Today I finished his baseball scoreboard. This was my inspiration:

Now this one costs $139.99 plus shipping...yeah I don't think so. So for $25 plus tax I made this one:

I know its not as pretty but it saved me a lot of money.
I bought the paint, paint tape, brushes, and piece of wood at Home Depot for $18. I bought the stencils and stickers at Hobby Lobby for $7.
This is how I made the scoreboard if you feel like copying my idea:

Now I am working on making fake clouds to hang from his ceiling. This is the one I just made. I cut out two identical clouds shapes from white foam board and cut a slit threw the middle. This way it has a 3D appeal.


I plan to use fishing wire (because it is thin and barely visible) to hang them up. I think I will hang them up over his bed but still not sure. I can't wait to post more pictures as I go.
After I am done making these clouds (I think just three) I will be moving to this idea:

Oh and so this makes sense to you (cause it does to me) the theme of Liam's room is a park...I had to add some sports theme in there to appease Nick.
