Some of the most read posts from this blog are about design with children and makeovers ideas for their rooms. You know that a fresh coat of paint is always a fast makeover especially if you let your children in on the selection process. But always test the color (purchase a test kit or quart) and paint a sample one foot square in several places in the room. These days there a fewer splurges on furnishings and furniture so I offer some options that are affordable to change a bedroom for a child.

Once you select a color the fun begins.. and I want to share a special and unique source. The company is Wonderful Graffiti and I have known about them for many years. Mary McPhail is the co-founder and creative director of the company. The company is best known for Wonderful Graffiti™ transfers. The opportunities are abundant to impart your creative bent with the huge selection on the site.

Considering children’s rooms, I saw a few that would be a great starting point to a unique room for your child. If you ever wanted to use words as decoration, here’s your chance.
