and it took a good clearance sale to get me onboard :0) {as usual}
found these at Joannes:
for 25 cents!
didn't know what i was going to do with them, but i thought they were cute. when i got home, inspiration struck!
but i needed more more MORE vinyl!!! CUSTOM vinyl!!!
enter the sweet Shelley of Wonderfully Wordy and the always inspiring House of Smiths.
{first though~~you need to know that is not sponsered or influenced in any way. i came to Shelley as a regular customer, and paid regular cold, hard google-checkout-linked-to-my-debit-card for these. not until the very end did i mention that i would probably be blogging this at some point!}
moving on...
the gal is wonderful. her choices are endless--there are so many fonts and colors to drool over, i almost got caught up and forgot what i was there for! but i immediately found the font i was looking for--something kind of old saloon sign style-y. (yup, totally a style. just like "traditional" and "french country" and it's other more well-known siblings)
she emailed me back quickly with options for what i wanted, and even cheerfully gave me more options when i was picky and a stinker :0)
and today my words arrived!
perfect!
Wonderfully Wordy vinyl

cheap-o hand shape vinyl

awesome wall that i didn't know what to do with!
i love it so much! and the best part? i opened the envelope, took pictures, put everything up on the wall, and took more pictures {my longwinded and awkward way of saying 'from start to finish'} all in about 20 minutes!
it's the perfect touch for a small space of wall. to the left is the hallway leading back to the guest/kids' bath and the kids' rooms, straight-left (huh?) is the dining room entrance, to the immediate right is the kitchen pantry, and further on is the other hallway leading to {obviously} the laundry. Behind you is the kitchen. it's a central location is what i'm getting at :0)
for now, we'll just love the wall and ignore the fact that that hand on the bottom...totally not anatomically correct. yes, i suppose you could point that way. but i doubt you ever would. try it, you'll see.
linking up to some of these great parties!
I LOVE THIS!! So cute, and such a great idea!
ReplyDeleteLOOOOOOOOOOVE what you did with your vinyl!
ReplyDeleteSO SO SO creative! :)
I'm going to put this in the "customer photo's" post on my blog!
Thanks so much for sharing this!

Awwww, how cute. What a fun idea.
ReplyDeletelooks great! i did the exact same thing-i wasn't really on board with the vinyl, and while i was at joanns i saw the super clearance area, and they had tons. good thing i had time (sorta) to go thru them, but i didn't see these. i bought one set that i put near my cat's food bowl (it said i love mew!) and another set of different keys. were yours labeled 25 cents? the stuff i found was all marked one price, and then at the register rang up half off. i wish i would have known that when i was debating which ones to buy, you know?
