Simple Easy Wall Update

I was at a birthday party the other day that our good family friend Maria and her husband threw for their little boys. When I had first visited their house, their kids room had a simple, beige, boring wall color. Unfortunately I don't have a picture of this before wall (and why should I shoot a simple, beige, boring wall!) but 'm sure you can picture this in your mind!. So now when I entered the same room a surprise was waiting for me. The hubby had painted the walls in such a way to create a highway scene, used colours to create the ground effect and then placed some McQueen stickers on. So simple! So easy! So much impact! The boys were really excited with the outcome! And I was amazed by the result!

And here is something else handmade in this very same party that I'd like to share with you: A melting candy house! Isn't it sweet?

Thank you very much Maria for letting me share some pics of your lovely house today!

Great idea! My son is in the "Lighting McQueen" phase! I am sure he will love this on his walls but unfortunately I had bought other wall decals for him earlier.

Hi

Wow, the wall transformation looks terrific!! My boys would go nuts for that in their rooms.

Unfortunately as Make It Monday is a paper craft linky party this entry is not really valid.

I do hope you will join us again if you have a paper related craft to enter.

Happy Holidays

Michelle :o)

No doubt, the boys were thrilled with their new décor. This would be a fun addition to any child's room. ;)

Thanks for linking to Time Travel Thursday again this week, and I hope you have a wonderful Christmas!
