i'm on a craft spree (call the police!)

I saw this wall on pinterest....

and as much art as my kids bring home and do at home, and the children's museum, i thought this would be PERFECT for them.

So I did it today. The paint was $15 (didn't even use half a can...), the molding was $5, the caulk adhesive was $4.A total of $25!!!!

I already had the shelves (these will be for their 3-D art).

I made two mistakes. The lettering is on a small slant. You can't tell looking dead on and standing but it is so obvious from this angle. Also, I measured the wall at the base board to make sure I was straight. The problem with this was that the place I was actually placing the molding ended up being 5/8" bigger. So, two mistakes, but made with love.

can you believe I don't have a single wall in the kids space that doesn't have an outlet?? Tomorrow I am going to buy a black outlet cover and the part that you actually plus in (whatever that is called) so it blends in.

Then using the same block art from the kitchen, i made these. the middle is paint chip art. i hole punched all those holes and hand glued them individually then did a sealer coat with Modge Podge. The middle background is actually brown, but was hard to capture because the light was coming in the window



before i sealed it.
