Exactly one year ago I put a call out for any spare license plates…so it’s about time this wall is finished!
We started by laying them out on the floor in alphabetical order,
This tip comes from my beautiful sister in law, Lacey and her adorable daughter, Nora. They were visiting this weekend and I was lamenting to her that someone (who shall remain nameless) took a permanent marker to the white board.

Kelly McDonald sent this beauty from Alabama:
Thank you, Kelly!

I do realize I’m about the sixty eleventh blogger to talk about board and batten. It is such a simple way to give a room a big pop of texture and character. I also love the big fat pieces of board, but we were on a tight budget since we had just paid to have our basement finished.
This is how we did it:
Our Lowes had these lattice strips in a 10 pack for 7.68.

Here is how it looked when they started work on it: My awesome dad putting up the chair rail for the board and batten:

Happy September…rabbit!
thank you for your comments about my back to school grief. I decided to wash away my grief in spray paint fumes :)I found this lamp for $1 at the thrift store…
Here is an easy way to display all of those magnificent art creations your kids make.

I wanted to plan the playroom around this map:
We had it when we were little as a puzzle so I was beyond thrilled to find it and loved the bright colors. Do any of you remember this??

I found this beadboard cabinet door at a Restore for $2.50. I wasn’t sure what I would use it for, so I left it. Then, I couldn’t stop thinking about it, so I went back and thankfully it was there. I have learned that if I keep thinking about something, it’s a sign that I will totally kick myself later if I don’t go get it right away.
I found this framed print at the Goodwill for $3.99. I loved the big, white mat and simple frame and knew the shoe could be switched out for anything, so I snatched it up. Inexpensive framed prints can be re-purposed anywhere in your house. Keep your eyes open!
I learned from Berenstain Bears.
I loved this book as a little girl. So much that my mom got me the video afew years ago and my brother bought me the book for Christmas when I was in college. Yes, I love it. I’ve read dozens of organizing books, but this is still my favorite.
Here is a little project we’re working on in the playroom as you come down the stairs. My parents came out to visit and like a kind, sweet daughter, I put my dad to work. My husband, him, and me all helped with this one. Remember these alphabet letters I picked up at a yard sale (.25 for the whole set!) back in Texas? 
We just spray painted some very thin trim in my fav Rustoleum Colonial Red and finally got to use my $50 Black Friday nail gun to attach it! We nailed up the trim and then glued the letters to the wall. That door you see is to the playroom closet. Much more on that later….
