Over the bed Monograms...

Thanks to this blog, I got myself a decorating job. I'm decorating a friends house and I'm having a lot of fun coming up with ideas!!!! I knew I wanted to do over the bed monograms for her, because I've seen them on a million blogs and I think they are just adorable. Her bedroom is a chocolate brown and turquoise color scheme (my FAV, along with black, white, and red of course). So here's what I started with:

3 of these plain white frames from the dollar store



and 1 roll of super cool polka dot contact paper (also from a dollar store)

I used Microsoft publisher and found a swirly romantic font, and printed out my monogram. Then I carefully cut them out. Now, I know what your thinking "why didn't you use your cricut?" Well, cuz I just bought it, and I only have 1 cartridge, and that font wouldn't work for this.

once I got them all framed up I ripped the white ribbon off the back of the frames and put chocolate colored ribbon in its place, then hang them on some cute knobs, and there you have it. For around $5, you've got a super cute monogram...


I hope she likes them, I can't wait to get over there and get to decorating!!!!!! :)
