Renovating and decorating our new/old house, a cozy cape cod built in 1940. It won't happen overnight, so join me for the journey.
If you missed that whole saga, you can read about it here and here. I really do love it now...especially for winter, it has a cozy and warm feeling to it.
Mr. 65th drew Santa and his reindeer flying over the doorway...I think he did a great job!
We are Rudolph lovers so of course we had to include him!
Only one more week until Christmas, I can't believe it! This is when I want to slow things down and just enjoy the excitement of it all. Enjoy the rest of your weekend! xo

wow- i am so impressed!!!! we are loving outs- had a party friday evening with a ton of kids, and i wrote the quote of the evening from a 6 yr old girl.... "where there's a lot of boys together, they're horrible." the way she said it was hillarious.
ReplyDeleteIt all looks SMASHING! Glad you stuck it out. I am also jelous you have an artist in the family. Maybe that is what is holding me back? Maybe if I had someone to draw some uber cute pics on the wall...I would go for it. The wall is GORGEOUS!
ReplyDeleteCheers~

So glad you decided to keep it. I knew it would grow on you! We had fun with my daughter's wall while taking Christmas card pictures. The girls drew word bubbles, wrote in various thoughts, and stood next to them for the pictures...they were hilarious!
ReplyDeleteSo cute - I am so glad you kept it! Hubby is quite the artist!
ReplyDeleteMr. 65th is so talented! The reindeer look awesome!

Oh, that turned out so great! I am really glad you went for it, I always get scarred after the first coat or two of black as well. Best of all, I'm sure you made Mr. 65th very happy :)
ReplyDeleteLonden,
ReplyDeleteI LOVE it, your hubby did a great job! I so want to do a chalkboard wall...is their any texture to your wall or is it smooth? You should have your goodies in a day or two. Are you ready for Christmas? I'm still working on it...
Best wishes,
Tammy
YES! I knew you would come to love it. The sleigh and reindeer are amazing!
ReplyDeleteI love it! It looks fab! LOVE the festive touch too!
ReplyDeleteI remember you said your hubby had plans for the wall! He did a great job! I love how he included Rudolf too:) I'm glad you went for the chalk wall- it looks so cool looking into the living room.
ReplyDeleteIt looks fantastic, and I love the reindeer!!!
ReplyDeletei am so glad you left the wall black. it is spectacular and not typical. i love it and i love the sleigh drawing. writing with chalk isn't easy, at least for me it isn't. the next time you are in an argument with him, think, man he can really draw well with chalk. I think i'll keep him around.

ReplyDeleteI absolutely adore this wall. So whimsical and stylish. I would soooo love to have it in my own kitchen! Happy holidays from a new follower!
ReplyDeleteI love your wall. I did one also in my kitchen. Your Santa and sleigh are great!! I'm thinking of writing the letter from Santa on the wall!

What I want to do is get a chalkboard in my house and leave funny quotes for my friends to see. That would be fun.
