It is Sunday evening, and I have found a quick, quiet minute to sit down and put up tomorrow's post. I hope you all had a relaxing weekend. I was feeling kinda crafty this weekend! Above my couch in our living room is a blank area of wall that has been driving me nuts since we moved in... so, I came up with this fun wall art to fill the void. :)I love working with vinyl lettering. Vinyl sayings spruce up any wall and add a personal touch to your home, creating a warm environment.
This type of lettering can be purchased on-line, at your local craft store, or just about anywhere. This lettering is designed to be applied directly to your wall. Well, being a military wife our life involves moving frequently! I have used this lettering before in previous houses, but sadly I had to leave them on the wall, because there is no way to save the lettering once applied.This time I decided to go to Home Depot and place my vinyl saying onto plywood. For those of you that do not know, you can find pre-cut lumber scraps in the dollar lumber bin at The Home Depot!! So, I found this cool, rustic scrap of wood for 51 cents!!!
So, I came home, applied a primer and spray paint to the wood. I let the wood dry overnight and then I carefully applied the lettering.
I love my new wall art, I am going to hang it tomorrow and I will post pics soon!My Mom had bought the vinyl saying for me at Michaels Crafts when they were having a 50 % off sale. She was able to purchase a $20.00 saying for only 10 bucks!
The spray paint was three dollars and I already had primer left over from a previous project.
I also applied a fixture to the back of the wood in order to mount the wood on my wall.
So, the grand total for this project was around $ 13.51!!!!!!! :)
Next, I want to share a website for the Mamas who follow my blog. I have mentioned before that Robbie is sleeping through the night and has been since he was about 3 months old. He is sleeping a full 12 hours!!!! We put him down around 7:00 ish after his bath and he sleeps through the night in his crib, until 7:00 a.m. He is also taking two 2 hour naps a day in his crib!
It is wonderful, I give him a little love time before placing him down for a nap or bed ( while he is sleepy, but still fully awake). He might squirm for a minute or so, but after that he is out like a light, experiencing the most restful slumber!
