Last minute carpet project

Nothing like starting a project 1 hour before the girls go to bed. Below is a picture of the carpet at the door of their room:

Check out the evidence of cat scratching…..sexy. No amount of cleaning could make it look even close to decent….so out it came.

Here is the floor. Yucky. Now what to do next??

Name plates for the girls

The door to the girls’ room felt pretty blah…so I decided to pump up the volume and make some name plates.

I started with a basic wooden oval purchased from Hobby Lobby..costing about 1.50 each.

I painted one black and one white and added the script in the opposite paint color. I used the paint and ribbon from a previous project, so I cannot remember where I got them or how much they were when I purchased them. I used a staple gun to attach the ribbon to the back. Command picture frame hangers round out the supplies needed to hang on the door.
