I have been wanting to do this for a LONG time. The black paint has been sitting in the garage calling my name, but I was afraid!!!
Last year when we had some stuff done to the house, I had Ash’s room wainscotted and painted pink and white. I LOVE it…but it has been calling for something else. I saw an idea that I wanted to try from a Lily Pulitzer store in south beach. I have a love affair with all things “type” so I knew I was going to love this. I put my own little twist on it, and here’s what we ended up with…
I took the text from the series of Madeline books. I took a few lines from different books and used them together as I saw fit. It worked out that the text fit perfectly exactly two times. I couldn’t have planned it any better…and no, I didn’t plan it…it was a total fluke! I didn’t worry about super straight lines, I purposely made some of the words bigger so they would stand out more..just to add even more whimsy. The whole project took about a half quart of paint and less than 2 hours. SUPER easy!! You can totally do this yourself!! Pick your child’s favorite book and add some text to your walls.
I have MANY more plans for this room….I can’t wait to get the headboard, dresser and drapes finished. Just think vintage, lime green and polka dots…it’s going to be CUTE I think!! I’ll be sure to share the finished product when it’s done!
You could use this idea for SO many things! Think parties, photo shots, weddings…the possibilities are endless!
Hope you’re feeling inspired!! Go paint something crazy in your house today!!
Have a great day!
