One of the things that excited me the most when we moved into this home, nearly 2 years ago, was the presence of a toy room. (In our previous home, we had a toy corner...)
I wanted to make the room a fun, colorful departure from the more subdued palette of the rest of our home, so I enlisted bright turquoise paint and some vintagey fabric for curtains.
Then I set out to collect 26 letters for an alphabet wall.
I found some of them on Ebay, including a 3 foot tall, acid yellow "C". That was the day I learned the importance of reading the fine print. We all have that day sooner or later and I'm happy to say that my error was relatively inexpensive and actually quite funny.
Collecting vintage letters started to add up, so I rounded out my collection with various wooden letters and some 3-D cardboard letters from Michael's craft store and painted them myself.
Boy, I love letters! This is really fantastic and perfect for a toy room. Thanks for sharing, it's inspiring :)
ReplyDeleteFabulous! Love all the colors and styles against the blue wall. It really pops. How fun.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like the boy on the book next to the "u" knows where the "u" fell. LOL!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE it!!! That bookcase/cubby is fabulous as well. :)
ReplyDeleteVisiting from Kimba's party! :)

I'm just happy to report that I am not without a U... I am so lucky to have U! ;)
ReplyDeletegreat play room. I am impressed that Cory managed to paint that white square so, well, square. please don't shatter my admiration by telling me he used tape or something ;-)
ReplyDeletelove your alphabet wall...so much so, that now Bryce has one in his room too :)
ReplyDeleteLove it, love it, love it! So much fun for a toy room! Your story about the giant "C" made me smile. Now I have to know what you did with the C Monster?

I really enjoyed the post about your kitchen remodel. I too am in the process right now and am so thankful for running water in the kitchen again... I could cry! Love the "tin" tiles too. I was considering those for my own kitchen (the patina copper) and seeing yours gave me hope that they will look great!
ReplyDeleteVery cute! I love the cubby/bookcase as well!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute. I love letters!!
ReplyDeleteYou my blogging friend, are just too cool for school.

I love letters used in random ways - you decorated your wall perfectly!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! Love the curtain fabric too!
ReplyDeleteOh, I LOVE this, I am so going to do it, I am!
ReplyDeleteI love your curtains and the book case as well!
I just found this post and read through it for the first time as I had first seen the alphabet wall (as I had said) on pinterest... I'm laughing out loud because that darn U has fallen off the wall at our house now. I kid you not!!!
