We're So Cool...

...We Yalp in our New Playroom.

       Long, long story cut very very short, I enlisted my friend, Atosha, to help me decorate my house right here at the 3 year mark (of living here).  She cheerfully agreed and spent one of her kid-free Saturdays (That's how wonderful she is!) with me at Hobby Lobby and my house from 10:00am to 8:30pm-10 and 1/2 hours!
      Back in the spring we went to their house for the first time and, no exaggeration, it looks like something right out of Country Living. 
      Though my style is a little different, I thought A could work her magic over here.  Sure enough, she took nothing and turned it into FABULOUS.  Well, any changes to this blank canvas would have made a difference, but she took what we had (lots of family pieces) and just threw it all into place.  We have a few more things to do, but the whole house should be done by Thanksgiving.
      The project pictured was one of the things A & I had discussed which I was to put together when the metal letters went 50% off at Hobby Lobby.
     I was so excited about this solo project I barely made it to (the boys') nap time before getting started.  But I did and I carefully measured EVERYTHING; constantly flipping the pediment and lining up the letters using a level.
     B got several texts throughout the day with a play-by-play of my project, as well as a call announcing the completion of the sign.  I was so excited!
     When he got home I rushed him into the playroom to show him my work, telling him he could hang it while I was gone to Bunco.  I lifted it off the ground, turned it around, and...well, you saw it.
     He hung it while I was gone, "to see if you like the placement on the wall."
