{Restoration Hardware Blueprint Knock-Off}

When I saw the original RH Blueprint, I was drawn to it. I have no where in the house to put such a print, but I wanted it. What I didn't love ... the price. At a whopping $995.00 ... yes, you read that right, $995.00, my chin hit the floor.

It is beautiful ... but the price ... ridiculous in my mind ...




SO, found this post. AND, I created my own ... In fact, I created a bunch of my own. I found all the images in google, and then changed the look of them to make them like the blueprint from RH. What do you think?









And then, I took it a step further. Since you all know by now that I am a huge Mizzou fan, I took an image of a map of the University of Missouri ... and made it in to a blueprint. I love the way it turned out!






So, now I just have to find a place for all of these prints ... still thinking about that one!
