Sometime in the near future, we plan on switching the girls' room with the office. It's a bigger room and has two closets. Of course, when I say we, I mean me. Lance is more the manual labor behind my bright ideas, and honestly, the way I work usually stresses him out :).
The theme for the girls' new room will be a nature one, which means Lance's current beige office will have to be painted, and....London's currently EXTREMELY pink room needs to be painted as well. (For some reason, Lance isn't into the three shades of pink for his guitars and desk?)
Though nothing has really been started because I've been waiting until my spring break, I did have to start the ceiling decorations because the cardboard was going to get wet outside and was too huge to keep inside.
I took a long piece and cut out three clouds and nine raindrops. I spray painted the clouds a pretty blue and then dry brushed white on it to give it texture. The raindrops were painted a lighter blue. Then I looped fishing line through the drops and tied it and then used a needle to pierce it through the clouds and taped it on the top. we nailed them up, but if the ceiling wasn't that popcorn texture, thumb tacks wedged into the curves of the clouds would have worked.
So cute and really easy. I got the idea from the clouds around the light fixtures at the Memphis Children's Museum and decided to add further cuteness with the rain. Now I have to decide on a cute sun idea, since my friend Casey says it'd be depressing to make my kids live in rain nonstop without a sun. haha
I got the cardboard from the boxes our swing set came in
