Mission accomplished !!


Remember this post I did a while back about the art in my daughter's room? Well...after procrastinating for a good two weeks, I finally got down to doing it yesterday.

This is what the bare wall looked like. It is a beautiful duck's egg blue color ....much brighter than it appears  in the images.






I started by making a template on the wall where the actual frames would go. I should have used craft /brown paper but since I didn't have any at home, I used newspaper instead. Not the best thing to do as the ink from the print blackens the fingers and you end up with some unsightly finger-marks on the wall. But other than that, it worked just fine. After trying out a few permutations and combinations..this is the layout that  I decided to stick with....






Finally, with a little help from the husband I hung all the art wherever intended...I also added the wooden alphabets ( my children's initials ) in between and....

........Voila....... here is the fruit of my labour!!






I am very pleased with the result and can't wait to see the look on my daughter's face when she comes back from her 2-day camping trip tomorrow !!






I am thinking of putting a narrow console ( in a bright color perhaps? ) under the art to sort of anchor it....or should I leave it just like that ...what do you recommend??


Hope to show you the rest of the room (with daytime shots) very soon!!

Thanks Salokya and Abhilasha...I also think console would work best..but i'll have to find something very narrow( 12"-15" max)!
