Powder Room Reveal // DIY Leopard "Wallpaper"

Thursday, October 9, 2014











ok soooooooooo matt has been out of town a lot lately (thank goodness that is OVER!) and well, when he is out of town, i tend to call on my mama for... PROJECTS!!  and a wine drinkin and laughing partner ya know?  anyway, we took on some projects.  and one of those was my powder room.  it was officially the ugliest room in my house until a week ago.  so i changed it.  but it was a process, let me tell youuuuuu.  first i fell in love with this (pricey) wallpaper.  i was hooked.  and when i get a vision, well it's kinda hard to break me of that said vision.  but hubby would be sad with the price.  so i randomly googled, "cheap Tanzania wallpaper."  luckily my walls were already khaki AND i found this amazing DIY blog that fell in love with the same wallpaper.  i decided to copy her style for the powder room!  I used this stencil and well, the rest is below!  what do yall think?

Guess How Much I Love You

One of G's favorite things to do these days is "read."  She will sit for literally 30 minutess and just go through her books turning the pages.  Sometimes she will then hand you one for you to read, and then it's off to turn some more pages.  She especially loves "reading" before bed time after bath.  It's her way of prolonging her night night I believe.  Whatever the case we have our favorites, and by we I mean the baby lady.  She gravitates towards the same books and when we open them, it is like someone told her the biggest joke- she breaks into a belly laugh.  Above are our absolute favorites.  Pretty much anything by Sandra Boynton or Nancy Tillman are gold in my opinion.  Tillman's illustrations with kids and animals seem magical and Boynton's silly stories make G smile.  Dear Zoo is a new favorite of our's and the flaps are already worn from G constantly lifting them then looking back at me with a grin.  I Love You, Stinky Face and Guess How Much I love You are two of the first books I ever read to Goergia.  I still read them every day and I truly enjoy them just as much as my little one (Matt and I have also both memorized each of these books! ha!).

What about y'all?  So your little one's have favorite books?  What should we add to G's collection?
