Girls' Room- glue gun crazy

I've recently decided that gray spray paint is on my top 10 list of absolute FAVORITE things ever. I love the color gray anyway, so when I can change something from blah or very average to sophisticated and cute with a little spray, I'm definitely going to do it! Here are a few things I've done in the last couple of days using an old shirt that wasn't maternity, but is the style that makes you look pregnant anyway....and who wants to look pregnant when you aren't? (especially if you've just spent 20 months out of the last 3 years pregnant :))

Said shirt. I took a sleeve off before I remembered to take a pic.

I drew a bird shape on a paper towel and then traced it onto the material. sewed together and stuffed.

the mobile with pretty flowers and the birds and a little butterfly perching on the branch :)

The pink shelf painted with a flower added. (don't mind the mobile I didn't move out of the way for a photo :/)

The ugly lamp

Lamp redone. I could never get the lighting good enough to really show how cute it is

The girls' room- Ceiling clouds

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
