I love painting small projects that cost very little and are fun to decorate our houses with. There are so many projects you can do to decorate children’s rooms that are very inexpensive. And what fun to give away items that are made by you!! By the way it’s not too early to start Christmas projects.
One recent trend I’ve noticed is letters and words being hung on the wall, what a statement, yes, pun intended. When I happened to come across these letters at Hobby Lobby for half price I couldn’t resist. They were $1.50 plus tax, who wouldn’t be tempted. So I headed out to the garage to see what I could come up with. I wanted each letter to be fun and different, keeping in mind the likes and dislikes of each child.
The T was for my daughter who has a blue room with silver circles painted on the walls. It shimmers and shines as you walk past.
This M was for my son, who picked out this stencil for his room, vroom…
This is for a glamorous “Paris” room, black with silver accents, you should see the smile on her face.
L was for a charming girl who has zebra stripe accents in her lime green room.
Did I mention all the girls are wild for lime green and turquoise? It doesn’t have to be complicated, simply fun works too. Maybe a little glitter paint brushed over to give it more bling?
Although most of these I used a new “foil” product on that makes the coolest metallic finishes ever, there are several ways to make unique letters that your personalize your home. When you're out shopping and see a bargin, open your mind to fun possiblities. I've seen these also decorated with scrapbook papers and ribbons glued on, great idea for anyone afraid of paint.
Here's my green idea - I’m rummaging around the garage looking at old frames and other unfinished projects to glam up. You can fix up unused objects you'll be proud of.
