Playroom Ideas...

Most of you know I've been struggling with how to decorate our playroom for oh, about a year now.  I think I've got it organized the way I want it so now it's time to decorate the rest of it.

We've got this great magnet board that I made for the kids last spring using paint, my cricut and some mod podge:
It's hanging on the wall in the playroom.  I also created this to hang up their artwork in the playroom based on one I had seen at Pottery Barn:

But the walls still need a little more color and decoration...so when we were installing the door panel curtains on the french doors of the playroom this morning and Kendall was cleaning up the magnet letters and putting them back on the board while singing Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, it hit me!  Let's put a big palm tree up on the wall that's leaning towards the magnet board and then have the letters tumbling down towards the board...just like in the book!  

So since I'm not much of an artist, I decided to take the path of least resistance and look for a vinyl palm tree online.  I found a 7 foot vinyl king palm wall sticker at a great price!  Once it arrives we'll put it up on the wall and then I plan to head over to Roberts to buy some different colors of vinyl to cut the alphabet out with my cricut and put them up on the wall!  I can't wait to get the whole thing completed!  This is the tree I found:
Isn't it great?

It's our goal to finally get this house decorated and look like we really live here - that it doesn't look like it's just a temporary address.  We're getting closer every week to making it finally look and feel like home.

Can't wait to post pictures of the completed project!
