I’m linking this post to DIY DAY with Kimba. Please visit her blog and visit the other participants. :)
I don’t know if you guys have started your spring cleaning (like I have) or not? I may have jumped the gun but I’m ready to welcome spring! Oh my! Hubby is off these few days so I am taking advantage of that! He hung these letter plaques for me. I started cleaning in my twins’ bedroom and I thought I was never going to finish! Whew! I made it though! Thank the Lord for that! I went thru all of their toys and threw away old toys that they no longer play with. I also went thru their clothes and got rid of some that didn’t fit anymore. I organize everything in the closet. I still have some things to hang on the walls but I wanted to share with you all a little project I made for them. :) The color on the wall is Benjamin Moore, Wedgewood Gray. It is a soft blue. Love the color. I intend to paint another bedroom in this color.
The back part of each letter is made of wood plaques. I found these at Hobby Lobby but I do believe I saw them at Walmart too. The letters are also made of wood and I found those at Hobby Lobby. I used scrap paper and Mod-Podge. Love that Mod-Podge! 
For the blue, I did use the same paper on both names. For the black and white , I used different paper but still in the black and white colors. 
And there you have it. I am also going to make a little valance for that window. I’d like to find a black and blue fabric though. I am changing their room to a blue and black theme. The boys told me that they don’t really care what theme their room will be, as long as it’s for boys. :D I’m planning on looking for some posters or pictures that are black and white. Hmm? I might just make a couple of their pictures into black and white and then frame them. Oh my brain is working here. hee hee
Well I hope you guys liked this little project. I’d like to finish that room this week. I have so many projects going on right now but I like staying busy like this. :) I don’t think we ever finish making our house look spiffy, do we? *wink*

I love your Name Plaques, Sandra! Really NEAT ideas!
Probably the one thing I miss about my kids being grown and gone is that their rooms were always so sweet and special. Brandon's was done i Coca Cola and to this day I could kick myself for never getting a picture of him in it.
LOVE the idea! Thinking of doing some for my Miss K!
Love to you~

What a great project! I'm forwarding this to my daughter as inspiration while she decorates her son's room.
Too cute! You mix and match colors and patterns beautifully!
Such a cute idea...esp. for twins! I love having kids names on the walls of their rooms and this is a great way to do it!
