Here we have the finished shelf configuration
The hubby and I weren't supposed to be buying "big gifts" for each other this year because of the basement reno and our new sectional, so I HAD TO GET CREATIVE.
These images are before we finished all the shelves. Sticking with the Super Hero theme (predominately Spiderman), I made some themed decor items for the basement. I wanted to have some items that are't immediately obvious that they are Spiderman, here's my brainstorm:
Camera pillow - Spiderman was a newspaper photographer.
Camera blueprint image, I bought this for $3.00 on Etsy and used a Dollar store frame. I purchased the fan clock from Homesense, it was the kids gift to Daddy. I love the look of the industrial or old fashioned rotary fan turned into a clock.
Power quote print - quote from Spiderman's Uncle Ben (originally Voltaire). I made it in Photoshop, I did "case" it however, it was someone elses idea I saw online.
The microscope, my most favorite find. Since I work in a High School, I asked the Head of the Science Department if she had any broken microscopes she would be willing to sell. To buy them on Etsy, you are looking at $40 -$60 for just the shipping. Luckily she did, so I bought one for $20 and no shipping.
The "S" was already featured in a previous post, I think with my 40% off coupon the canvas and silver paint was under $10.00.
Sean was kind enough to pick up some IKEA fake plants when he was there to purchase Boo's new Queen bed. We already had the pots from the Baby Shower lighthouses from last year. The "I love you more than bacon" was a Christmas present from the kids to my hubby from quite a few years back.
This DNA blueprint image is available through Etsy for $11.00-$12.00. However, I found the DNA vector on line for free. It's a free downloadable colouring page for Science class. I downloaded the image and in Photoshop transferred it onto a free vintage paper background. Again used a Dollarstore frame.
