Say what?! Just 2 weeks left of the One Room Challenge— CRAZY!! This week I’ve been busy creating a vintage dinosaur wall hanging. It all started with a digital download of some artwork, and I ended up with my own custom piece of art for the room.
THE PROCESS
I’ve been struggling to find just the right artwork for above the brass bed. Most of the dinosaur art I’ve been finding is cutesy and colorful and I’m looking for subtle, rustic, neutral dinosaur art. When I came across this vintage dinosaur art on Etsy, I knew it would be perfect for our son’s bedroom. I purchased the digital download of the artwork, but now what? I decided to turn it into a wall hanging/tapestry instead of printing and framing it.
You can see the entire process I went through to make this vintage dinosaur wall hanging in this blog post.
THE RESULTS
I love that this is a unique, one-of-a-kind piece of art for the room. It has an old, vintage feel and it adds just the right amount of texture to the wall. AND it’s not cutesy, colorful dinosaur art! Just goes to show you, if you can’t find exactly what you’re looking for, don’t let it stop you from making your own unique piece of art.
It’s crunch time! You can check on the other ORC participants here and see how close they are to finishing their rooms. I will continue to share my progress on my Instagram feed and in stories as well.

But seriously…. Please be flattered because I’m over here drooling over this little guys room and there’s about a 100% chance I’m totally using that Dino art in my baby turning toddlers room! I love that you’re sharing how you made it. The color, the bed, the details…. I’m already in love. I can’t wait to see it once it’s completed!
Aw thank you Heather-Scherie! I’m seriously thinking of just giving him our master bedroom so I can move in here, haha. I love seeing your master bedroom makeover come together!!
That is really an amazing idea! I love that you went with a tapestry instead of just printing it and framing it, so much cooler!
