Look out HGTV ~ we have a way of covering walls with good old-fashioned school/office supplies.
Just get yourself some ruled notebook paper and some tape leftover from Christmas wrapping and you can customize any room to your liking.
Peace signs & hearts if you’re a first grader.
Elliott recently semi took over our guest room as her room. I hate that it cannot BE her room, but we need to have somewhere for our {most welcome} guests to lay their heads when they do come…
We are still in the process of removing things and finding a new home for them…like the side rail to their old crib, Jay’s and my old skool CD collection which is now pretty much obsolete, the vintage fruit prints that I adopted from my Mom when she downsized that I just couldn’t allow her to get rid of and the vacuum cleaner.
She knew that she had to immediately add some color to the white walls {my daughter!} so with that she started drawing peace signs and hearts, cutting them out, coloring them and taping them to the walls.
She wanted me to write “Shake It Up” {her new fav} in bubble letters and color them in rainbow for her…believe me, it’s the least I can do!
Since this is a temporary fix, I have been on the lookout for an inexpensive comforter and some new sheets.
We have a date to go to Home Depot on Tuesday morning when Holden is in school to get some pink & purple paint chips to make a bunting and will also see if we can’t still find some little white lights in the 75% off Christmas crap still on the shelves somewhere ~ I thought those would be cute outlining the plantation shutters.
Looking forward to making it her own for the time being on the CHEAP! I have found ideas for her {forever} room on Pinerest, but now I need to search for some quick fixes without putting a million holes in the walls.
Here is some {pin}spiration eye candy for her {hopefully in the not too distant future} dream room:

I’m afraid for now ruled paper & scotch tape will have to do.
I wonder if CeCe & Rocky would approve…..
