It's a repro done on canvas, which is the right price point for a rental. Although the tones worked perfectly with the cherry flooring, the resulting board was not generic enough for staging (despite my attempts to tone down it's brilliance!). We went with another version, which I'll show you in another post, lol...<br /><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYMRJPIAPQDOYAmE6k7VbkTdVliSnQ9TFUsQW0Qsr-WY2t_gsTgXskgfbDDFC9lPUMs_G-kxEHU7pMNXRBRT0FUDXgBJyoUIsuJCVakUSHZea2Yv-v7-CwKFrY5O-2lxsIgQCJSpq1XWc/s1600/Screen+Shot+2013-03-05+at+8.11.52+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="488" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYMRJPIAPQDOYAmE6k7VbkTdVliSnQ9TFUsQW0Qsr-WY2t_gsTgXskgfbDDFC9lPUMs_G-kxEHU7pMNXRBRT0FUDXgBJyoUIsuJCVakUSHZea2Yv-v7-CwKFrY5O-2lxsIgQCJSpq1XWc/s640/Screen+Shot+2013-03-05+at+8.11.52+PM.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">but I couldn't forget the painting... </div><div style="text-align: center;">and since D's cousin is about to have her second little pumpkin I have babes on the brain...</div><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3r1FUdSWNzjBwo0LhzY7uqROSJoRuhi0ns6aaEWg-IVyg5MMkHcP8VgivkDDN75QU0rS4wAi4IyZPI2FR9e6A1hLxjr1usb3ZkkVQtkJD-Fz2zBvolQfXJZS0c6vv53STPaRK5Tw-HTo/s1600/Screen+Shot+2013-03-18+at+9.45.06+AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="492" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3r1FUdSWNzjBwo0LhzY7uqROSJoRuhi0ns6aaEWg-IVyg5MMkHcP8VgivkDDN75QU0rS4wAi4IyZPI2FR9e6A1hLxjr1usb3ZkkVQtkJD-Fz2zBvolQfXJZS0c6vv53STPaRK5Tw-HTo/s640/Screen+Shot+2013-03-18+at+9.45.06+AM.png" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Who says kids can't have real art?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">That's a bigger thought - that may deserve it's own post, yes?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><a href="http://www.wallpaperdirect.co.uk/products/turner-pocock-cazalet/ibis-taupe/77752">wallpaper</a> | <a href="http://www.westelm.com/products/safari-rug-r778/?pkey=crugs-flooring&cm_src=rugs-flooring%7C%7CNoFacet-_-NoFacet-_--_-">rug</a> | <a href="http://www.rhbabyandchild.com/catalog/product/product.jsp?productId=rhbc_prod218361&categoryId=rhbc_cat206017">crib</a> | <a href="http://www.jaysonhome.com/product.php?productid=3644">chair</a> | <a href="http://www.1stdibs.com/furniture/storage-case-pieces/dressers/vintage-red-dresser/id-f_631782/">dresser</a> | garland <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/94360079/red-garland-wedding-felt-banner-bunting?ref=sr_gallery_16&ga_search_query=red+garland&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_ship_to=CA&ga_search_type=all&ga_facet=red+garland">1</a> <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/122825975/cardboard-sweet-dreams-nursery-garland?ref=sr_gallery_6&ga_search_query=sweet+dreams+garland&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_ship_to=CA&ga_search_type=all&ga_facet=sweet+dreams+garland">2</a> | <a href="http://www.google.ca/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=vintage+crate+toys&source=images&cd=&docid=kZJINJF2sM75HM&tbnid=Hzu4LVkb8O4P4M:&ved=0CAMQjhw&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.target.com%2Fp%2Fthreshold-vintage-milk-crate-dark-brown%2F-%2FA-14104992&ei=ejZGUZuqLMbF2QX66IDACQ&bvm=bv.43828540,d.b2I&psig=AFQjCNHxLuWBpHOL_8oO8gNcU_Xdv5fyVA&ust=1363642227978199">storage</a> | <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002VLX1KM/ref=asc_df_B002VLX1KM2417775?tag=thefind0125436-20&creative=395261&creativeASIN=B002VLX1KM&linkCode=asn">elephant</a> | <a href="http://www.westelm.com/products/leah-durner-abstract-pillow-cover-gray-tone-t562/?pkey=cpillows&cm_src=pillows||NoFacet-_-NoFacet-_--_-">pillow</a> | <a href="http://fashandfurn.com/shop/I/LightingTableLamps/All/All/0/SRC/">lamp</a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>
