I know many of you have tried this already but this is my first one. I want to do so many but thought I should do the guest room right now since I am expecting company in a week. Back in 2002 one of my best friend's house burned, she and her kids came to stay with me while they got a house built. One day after they got into their new house she came to me and gave me a little gift. It was a little plaque that had a Thomas Kincaid house with the quote "Happy is the House that Shelters a Friend". I cried when I read it because.....well, it really touched me. I had put the plaque in the guest room last night thinking it was perfect for a guest room. After thinking about the quote I then decided it would make the perfect quote for that room.
I used Stamped for the letters and flowers on this. I decided on Stamped because it has that vintage look. I would have liked to use Storybook.....but I don't have that one!! LOL I am really happy with the way it turned out. I did cut it rather large because I wanted it to take up quite a bit of space above the bed. The letters were cut at either 4 or 4.5 inches. I used a blooms laser ruler to get the letters straight.
For those of you who haven't tried wall quotes.......TRY IT!! It is really easy and it is limitless to what you can do!
Great quote. I hope your guess enjoy their stay with you.

OOps spelled guest wrong. Sorry about that. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat job on your wall quote. I have quite a few around my house. In my kids bathroom I cut out "Wash down your SPIT" and put it in the sink. The wall says..."Rub a dub dub, three butts in the tub" I should post a picture of that. LOL
ReplyDeleteI never thought about using a laser level, that is a great idea! I think my sister got my dad one for Xmas last year, I will have to nab it from him. He He He.
ReplyDeletejust perfect. that would make any guest feel welcomed. Thanks for showing. now show us the dresser.LOL
ReplyDeleteThat is perfect for a guestroom....so pretty, the headboard on the bed too. Nice. Let me know when you have a vacancy!!
ReplyDeleteOkie, love the paint color you chose for the GR...really sets off grandma's bed. And great job on your wall quote as well! I've put up one in my main bath after its re-do this summer and also on my son's wall after his walls got a new coat of paint...so fun working with the vinyl! Keep up the great work, my old MB friend!
