Sticker It Up

So I hope everyone had as lovely a weekend as I did...a little snap of fall weather, no scheduled obligations, and a little flea market therapy. Oh and let's not forget the skinny pumpkin spice latte with light whip, mmm my favorite time of the year for certain.

We all were a little creative around here including my husband and daughter who sewed together their Indian Princess vests. They then added a few patches and selected their tribe names. My daughter, flying peacock, (she came up with this on her own, her mother's daughter for certain) and my husband, growling bear. They then took a small peacock feather we had from a friend's farm cut it down to the eye and sewed it to my daughter's vest. Needless to say I was very impressed...

I am always inspired and encouraged to try something out when I see a creative idea that is whimsical yet chic at the same time. When I ran across the wall designs by artist Payton Cosell Turner featured on Elle Decor, I was completely blown away! The image below is a room with walls designed by Turner, beautiful right? Nice colors, lovely look...

well, it is entirely made out of dime store-stickers. Bananas, shamu, Dorothy, and even big wheels are the part to this whole creation. This 25 year old has made her mark, in a big way, it just so happens to be in the form of stickers and the wallpaper company she founded with her fiance' Flat Vernacular.

Now if I can figure out a way to use this idea to cover the markings my daughter (aka graffiti artist) has made on the walls in her room then all would be good in the world.
