Steph F's Profile

Thanks for tracking these down Carrie! Larry surprised me with this poster when I graduated with my masters degree in children's literature. Since then a few people have asked me where I bought it, and I had no idea what to tell them. I even looked and couldn't find anything!

My copy is even bigger than it looks in the photo because we have 10" ceilings and an abnormally large mantel.

The bedding is from the Gap, but they just stopped carrying it. I did the scallop on the walls by painting the whole room blue and then taping a level line all the way around the room. After that I got a plastic plate the size I wanted my scallops to be and put a bit of tape across it just below the center. I line the tape up with the tape on the wall and traced the plate using a pencil, then moved it over and traced it again. Then I painted it in by hand. I'm SURE there is a faster way to do this by creating your own stencil, but that's the way I did it.

I did do the paintings of the pigeon from Mo Willems books. Thanks for the nice coments. I wish I would have been able to put a clear picture of all three of them up there because I love the way they turned out. The first one says, "Creed and I don't want to go to bed. We're not even tired!" The second one says, "It's the middle yaaaaawn of the day in China." and in the third picture he's dreaming of driving a bus.
