Do you ever find yourself standing in Home Goods or the back of Marshall ’s drooling over all of the fun decorative art? I do. How about Pottery Barn catalogs? They suck me right in and I feel like a kid at Christmastime.
We have purchased great things from all of the above and each piece fits perfectly in our home. But do you want to know what I like best? I like being able to make things that reflect who we are. When I can’t find the right décor out in stores or online, I roll up my sleeves and get to work. After brainstorming, thumbnailing and paintovers - I love creating things that scream…us.
Here are some fun clubhouse-ish type wood slats that I painted for my daughter’s room. I chose words that she will never outgrow and freehanded them for a playful feel.
Materials: unfinished wood, paint

These wood things are soo cute! They look like something you could buy in pottery barn kids for over $100 for the set. I have just made some acrylic paintings for my girls rooms that I made for them before they were born, but now that they are getting older I may need to re-do their rooms and do something cute like that. You can check out my blog if you want alli321.wordpress.com. It's nothing fancy, just a place where I post pictures of my knitting stuff and other projects. I keep planning on making it better, but haven't found the time yet...one day!
