Gold Dots in Playroom

My daughter's playroom was in need of a drastic overhaul! Affectionately dubbed "the Harry Potter Closet" it resides under the stairs, a glaringly pink testament to not letting your toddler pick out her own paint color. Full of toys, blocks and mayhem- this room was a wreck!

Evidence:

It hurts your eyes, doesn't it? Now you can't see around the corner, but it gets worse.

I knew I couldn't paint it or the small banshee would come after me, so I had to do something to subdue that bright pink. I browsed online, and on pinterest and came across this pin from Beautiful Wall Decals

Can you say super adorable? How envious I am of that subtle pink, but alas, it isn't meant to be. Perhaps adding these adorable "confetti dots" to the walls will help tame the mad pink beastie! I ordered them, and amazingly they came in only 4 days- what!? I wasn't even ready for them yet. 

When she was out with her daddy I quickly sorted, trashed, and donated many of her toys. Then I ran a vacuum. It was slowly coming together- but I wanted to see how these dots would look on something a bit smaller before I attempted the walls. I pulled out an "A" (her first initial) I'd had laying around for a while with navy paint on it and stuck the dots on it. Okay, I was in love! Time to tackle the walls. 

I started in a corner and had them cascade out. I thought this project would take me at least an hour, but 15 or so minutes later I was completely done. Wow! It tones down the pink, adds a visual interest, and draws your eyes up and away from the clutter of toys on the floor. I love it. I stuck the A to the wall with some command strips, and voila, time for the reveal!

Her reaction? Squeeling! I got a successful nap in for my pregnant self while she played in there for the next TWO HOURS, not even kidding. I'm in love. Thanks, Beautiful Wall Decals!

Make A Statement With Beautiful Wall Decals & Giveaway!!!

DECEMBER 1, 2013 BY STYLENFASHION LEAVE A COMMENT

My little tween daughter decided this year, for her birthday, she wanted a grown up looking room and for me to get rid of all the princess decor. As if I needed another reminder that my little girly is growing up. So we set out looking for cool and trendy ways to make her room more suitable for her age. She decided on a zebra themed room with pops of hot pink, lime green and purple. We found her bedding and I got busy painting the walls a pretty lavender and making cornices for her windows. We found a few ideas to add pizzazz to the walls, but there was one area directly above her bed that I just couldn’t decide what to do with.

That was until I found Beautiful Wall Decals online! Beautiful Wall Decals offers several thousand products to choose from, but what really stood out for me was the fact these decals were cut and not printed. The wall decals we have looked at in the stores have this clear backing to them and even after you smooth them out on the wall, you still can tell it is there. They just didn’t look right to me. My daughter is really into monogramming on everything (I even had to put it on her window cornices) so we decided to look into something along those lines to fill that empty space above her bed.

The wall decal we chose was called Fancy Name Personalized Wall Decal. This particular one is available in 4 sizes and we chose the 30 X 15 to fit perfectly in the space we wanted to fill. I wanted it in black to match the zebra theme of her room although there were 62 color choices to actually choose from! The whole ordering process was super easy, just 3 steps to complete including filling in the name for the decal. They offer free shipping on all size orders within the United States and always include a free decal to practice with first.

I was very impressed with the quick shipping of our order and just could not wait to put it up for her. After reviewing the instructions, we were able to put the decal on her wall without any trouble at all. It actually went on better than the ones I previously placed on other walls in our home. I absolutely love the way it turned out. It is the first thing you see as you open her door and makes such a huge, striking statement about her. It was the perfect solution to fill the space above her bed and just looks amazing on her wall. The scrolls are so pretty and the black is very vivid. Everyone that has seen it comments on how gorgeous it is.

Chalkboard Count-down Board DIY!

As the holidays draw near and the snow is falling my 3 year old daughter keeps saying "It's Christmas now mommy!" She can't conceptualize that just because there is snow on the ground and carols playing in the store- it doesn't mean that it is Christmas. It breaks my heart to see her crestfallen face every day when I have to explain that it is still "coming." 

There are many things to count down to throughout the year, and I've seen so many countdown objects out there. I don't want something that has snowmen on it, or is really tailored to one event; I want to be able to change it out and have it be universally used for all of our count-down events... everything from holidays to sleepovers. Drawing inspiration from several boards on pinterest (check them out below) I finally came up with the perfect idea for our family. A Chalkboard countdown board.

Check it out! I love it because it is versatile, decor friendly, and super simple to make and use (a must in my house). Want to make your own? I've created an easy DIY guide below.

What you Need: 

Wood Board- I used a pine board I found at lowes that I thought looked perfect- it is 2ft long, just over 7" tall and less than 1" thick. You can use whatever size works best for you.

Chalkboard Paint- I used the paint-on kind, but they also have spray.

Decal- found HERE on Beautiful Wall Decals. I used size 8" wide and 6.5" tall in white. Pick whatever fits your board best.

To create it: 

1. Sand the board if needed (mine didn't) and paint a few coats until it looks even.

2. Once it is completely dry apply the decal following the instructions BWD provides. I applied my decal more on the left of the  board than the right since I wanted more room to write what we were counting down to than the letters. I found that the decal really wasn't a fan of sticking to the chalkboard paint, so you may need to use a little elbow grease. Once I applied it I used a hair dryer to warm it up and smooth it in firmly to make sure it was well-stuck.

3. Write your days and event!

Having this around has been so much fun! My daughter loves to help me write the new numbers every day, and she can now conceptualize when Christmas is. Not only this, but I'm using the board as an educational device teaching her how to write numbers and counting backwards! I can't believe I didn't make this sooner... it would have been so wonderful while her daddy was deployed!
