    I did this for my son's nursery, and it turned out so well! It looks so cute, and was so much easier than painting polka dots. I love this idea...

    I felt the same way-wanting a visual of the finished product. So I clicked on the link at the end of "Special Thanks" segment: purlsoho.com. Very cute webpage and it has a photo of the framed fabric. You're right seeing an example does perpetuate more ideas.

    I do wish there was a photo to go with this, some good ideas come from seeing the product visually, otherwise, great idea.
