Dorm Room Decor~
In honor of the many graduating seniors, I thought I would post some fun, inexpensive dorm decorating ideas. I was able to share some of these ideas with some of my Young Women at our youth activity last night and it was a lot of fun!
Vinyl decal typography on wall!
I thought I would share one of my designs that I created in my daughters bedroom! I cut out different sized letters and adhered them on her wall. Isn't this fun!? I am pretty happy with the finished product! Yippee!

Picture frame arrangement ideas!
We have all seen the beautiful wall of framed photos. It may not be as easy as it looks to create the perfect layout....that is until now! As I was cruising Pinterest...(do that a bit too frequently nowadays!) and found this wonderful layout article! Unfortunately there was no credit link. I will continue to look for the original post but for now I had to share!
Once you have chosen your layout, use craft paper or brown paper rolls from your local home improvement store and cut out the correct sized squares and adhere them to your wall. Once you are happy with the layout find the center and simply hammer your nails into the wall thru the paper itself. :)
EASY PEASY!!!!!! Please feel free to share any other tips you have for hanging your artwork! I would love to hear them~

Unique Walls!
Do you want to make a dramatic difference in one of your rooms without redecorating the entire thing? Dress up your walls! Simple identify your focal wall and wallpaper it or paint it a fun or dramatic color! Yes, I said wallpaper. :) There are so many beautiful and unique wall coverings available now that you can't dismiss it as your grandmothers design idea anymore!
When deciding which wall is your focal wall, identify the area in which you want the eye to go to. If you have a fireplace, built-in bookcase or architectural element in the room, this is the most natural focal point. If your room has no distinguishing features, identify the largest furniture pieces. In the bedroom, the wall behind your bed should be your focal wall, the kitchen may be the wall behind the eating nook etc.
Once you have identified your focal wall, its time to choose your wall covering or color! Don't be afraid to go a bit beyond your comfort level. Often times we do a project and don't quite go as bold as we would like and it just doesn't turn out as spectacular as we were hoping. That is because we fail to push ourselves to go all the way with the design. If you are using paint and don't like the color, simply paint over it! Paint is easily changed and if you are doing a focal wall, it is typically a smaller area to change.
When choosing your color, don't over saturate your room with one color. If you have blonde wood in your bedroom, stay away from yellow. The color on the wall should pop against the furniture or wood. Of course there are exceptions to this rule. If you are doing a monochromatic design, keep it subtle. If your bedding is Blue, don't do blue on the walls. You may have a secondary accent color in your bedding or accessories that you can highlight by painting the wall a similar color.
Take your time. Always test the color on your wall before buying an entire gallon. Lighting, current wall colors and number of coats will effect the overall outcome of the paint. Look at your test area at different times of the day. This will give you an idea of how the color will change due to lighting. If you want to go nuetral, choose something a little more saturated than you may not typically go with. A dark mocha, rich chocolate or silky cappuccino color rather than your everyday beige will be much more appealing!
Now for some inspiration! Take a look at these FABULOUS wall treatments and colors!

Family Tree Photo Wall
How cute is this! A beautiful blue wall with a soft blue vinyl tree applied to create a gorgeous tone on tone effect. Photos are placed on the wall as if to hang from the tree! I just love this!
Think outside of the box. How about a large picture frame made with vinyl to frame your already framed art! I also took one of the swirl designs from the frame and created a border along the top of the chair rail. I did this in my daughter's room. So cute!
