Wall decal - FINISHED!

A short while back, I started this project

and now for the after

Here are my suggestions, and what I did wrong;

DON'T flip the original design. If you need a decal from left to right, buy one that way. The one I bought looked like this.

Read ALL the directions first. I seldom resemble this remark. It is a must, especially if it is going on freshly painted walls.

Use painters tape to lay out the design on the wall before you "go for it".

Finally, it is OK to have extra pieces.

Have a Creative Weekend!

I'm in the knob know now

This weekend, I brought home a selection of knobs from Anthropologie

They are all beautiful. However, only one of them could make the cut. So, one by one, they auditioned on the piece of furniture. Finally, the perfect choice was made

Sometimes less is more. Actually, none of the "green's" were a match.

 

 Happy Monday!

Wall Decal for the Tween Room

As part of a room makeover, my tween wanted a wall decal. You know the kind, they are in many stores and on television quite a bit. She wanted this one

so we purchased it here. They custom color any combination you want. It came from China, the stamps on the box were so cool looking, and didn't seem to take all that long. Here is our (when I say "our", I mean me doing all the work and the tween giving it her stamp of approval)  progress so far

 

you will notice that we flipped the image. Not a great idea. This is what makes this one of the most time consuming projects that I have ever done! Check back for the finished project, if I ever finish!
