washi tape DIY

What seems like forever ago...before Thanksgiving anyway...I started updating my youngest son's room (new paint, big boy furniture, new window treatments, new storage solutions, etc).  I've been wanting to post a complete overview of the project, but it seems I am STILL waiting on certain pieces to come together.  The items that I ordered on sale have been on backorder since January and I'm still trying to come up with a few decor pieces that really fit his personality.  Hopefully, (fingers crossed!) I can get his room done by the end of spring....hopefully...

I couldn't resist posting this little diy decor project that I whipped up for his room yesterday...

All I did was take a cheap frame, some washi tape (both from Target), a chipboard letter, and a brad an in about 10 minutes made a cute little decor object for his room.

 First, I took the washi tape and layered each strip over a piece of white cardstock measuring 5x7 to fit the inside of the matted frame.  Next, I misted my chipboard letter with some Mister Huey's Classic Calico, let it dry, and then attached the orange "hello" brad using a big Glue Dot.  Finally, I adhered the "J" to the washi tape background, removed the glass from the frame, and then assembled the frame back together.  I think it turned out great and it only took me about 10 minutes to complete!  That's my kind of diy project ;)  Enjoy!

Happy Wednesday!

Jubal's room got painted yesterday...I absolutely love the results :)

Now all I have to do is find new window treatments, some wall decor, and a few pieces of furniture...I'm exhausted just thinking about it :)

Happy Hump Day!

Jubal got his new big boy bed today!

The delivery team dropped it off bright and early at 8 o'clock this morning!  The painter is coming Tuesday to paint his room so I need some advice on color choice...(all colors are Benjamin Moore)

This is my color scheme/palette that I'm going with (obviously the orange is covered by way of his sheets :)  So my question is, do I paint three walls in "golden waffle" and one wall in "splish splash", or do I paint them all in "splish splash"?  I was initially thinking 3 and 1, but now seeing the bed set up I'm wondering if just blue would be best...to really make the orange pop...I don't know.

I have until Tuesday to figure it out, so any thoughts or comments you have would be greatly appreciated!

Have a great day, did you spot the cow?
