So in this post I showed you how I was working on J and M's room, it still isn't done, but came across this art that looked awfully familiar with a much larger price tag...Land of Nod framed map, they want $99 for theirs. So glad I made mine and had the maps already, although they also have the old fashioned roller ones....I think those are really cool, anyone else remember those from elementary school? I am still not done with them though, still need to fill the cracks/holes in one and both need a quick sand and paint....still deciding on the paint color to make them pop out since the walls are white. I am also wanting to blow up some of the pictures I took at the Air Expo on either a wrapped canvas or sheet metal and hang them in the room as well, but both options are a little spendy and was wondering if anyone out there had a company to recommend...anyone....just leave a comment :) I am still antsy about painting the room itself, we are pretty much locked into staying here for another year and a half so I think it might happen...but it seems whenever we paint we get orders...and it is a pain to repaint it white right before we move out again. Just would like the room to look done and complete and I think color on the walls do that. J is gone the next couple of weeks, and the boys start school next week...so maybe I can get some of those little projects checked off my list again!
I also would like to work on N's room, he is now in his big boy bed and I would like to get the crib/toddler bed out and get some fun things on his wall as well. His theme for the room is space/space ships/planets, so I have been on the lookout for decor that matches and haven't had much luck. His room NEEDS to be painted since one wall became his canvas and is marked up pretty bad. I have been looking at using some wall decals, but think I might be better off buying one the machines and making exactly what I want would be cheaper, and make myself happier with the outcome...anyone out there have a Wishblade thingy? Again leave a comment if you do :) would love to hear what you think of it.
Hopefully by posting my to do list on my blog I will hold myself accountable to get some of my half done projects finished...and declutter the work bench a little too.
