My Boys' Room - Part 1

Just wanted to share what I've been doing the last couple of days in my boys' bedroom.


It was fun to put them up, and a pain all at the same time. We do not have smooth walls. They have kind of a stucco finish (not bad, though), so it was very difficult to get the Decor Elements to stick. I pretty much just peeled them off the paper and then stuck them on the wall. It took some time, but I think it really adds to their room.
Here is a closer look...
The color Chocolate Chip comes with the assortment, but I knew brown would be a bad color on navy blue walls, so I bought some white vinyl at Hobby Lobby (for a Cricut) and just cut out the bigger circles and punched the smaller ones.
Much to my disappointment, though, my 5-year-old said he didn't like them because they don't "glow-in-the-dark"! Go figure. (I think I'll have to send that in as a suggestion to SU!)
TTFN,
Debi

I really like how this turned out! It's funny sometimes how kids expect things to turn out different.
You may be able to find some paint that will glow in the dark that you could just dab over the circles carefully. I think I saw some one time that was pretty clear in regular light, so it wouldn't change the color he'd see in the day time. (Just a thought). It really dresses up the blue walls, nice boy room!
