Benson, my 7 year old, came home from his friends house and said "Mom, I'd really like to have my name on my wall with a Home Sweet home...like my friend Cooper." I'm FINE and dandy with his name, but "Home Sweet Home" was not my idea of COOL (no offense) for a 7 year old so since he LOVES to draw and is quite imaginitive in his drawings I asked him if we could do his name and then Wall Art...which he was totally excited about...so this is what we came up with....
Let the little dude help you
Paint Paint Paint...(sand and stain)
Take a picture of the cutest little boy in the world
Hang Random and AWESOME Art...add and switch as you might...
I can't show you his name yet...we are still in the process of deciding WHERE exactly he wants it! :O)
What budding artist wouldn't LOVE this???? It looks great...and I know how he must love it!!!

Well done! I love this idea and can't wait until my kids are old enough to help decorate their room!
ReplyDeleteHow did you make the letters? I've been wanted to hang the alphabet in our playroom.
ReplyDeleteHey commenting on your comment about the dog he is a french bull dog. He is 12 months old and has all shots updated he is potty trained and has been fixed. He also has a micro chip installed. We are asking $500.00 for him. He is a sweetie just to much work for me right now
ReplyDeleteToo Cute! I love that you let him help. My boys usually look at me with that blank, useless look. Enjoy your time with that wonderful boy!
ReplyDeleteVery cool. I like this "art wall" and the colorful frames.
ReplyDeleteThat turned out very cute! Love it.
ReplyDeleteHey I always have LOVED your blog, but I haven't met hardly any other Bensons. I have a Benson, too! Mine is 15 -cool name! Can't wait to see his name added to the hip art wall!
ReplyDeleteReagan I have a scroll saw and I just drew his name big and cut it out using 1/4 inch ply wood and 1x10 :O) Glad you like!

Hey--I love the arrows. I am going to copy your idea, Boogs. But maybe you have some extra arrows already cut and sanded and painted? That'd be great.
