Dr. Seuss Kids Room Idea #4

Why have a plain old ceiling fan when you can have a Cat in the Hat striped fan instead! This idea is super easy and you can use the fan you already have! All you need to do is detach the fan blades be sure to clean them and remove any dust or lint, paint them white and let them dry. (I use spray paint, be sure to purchase a good quality brand from your hardware store) Next tape off the sections you want to be red with blue painters tape and paint those sections red to get the stripes. Lastly use a small paint brush and paint a thin black line between stripes to make your work more clean and professional looking! That easy after they dry re-install!

Dr. Seuss Kid's Room Idea #2

More Seuss Kids Room Ideas! Here is #2! Decorate those walls! This is a pretty simple DIY if you are artsy and can stand some work, if not you can always look up a local artist, or place an ad for an artist to come paint a mural on your walls for you. You can go simple with red and white stripes. Adding a black outline along the red stripes to resemble Cat in the Hat's stripes makes your design that much more fabulous, don't worry the black line doesn't need to be straight in fact if it's crooked all the better!
Keep an eye out for post #3 I will give you directions on how to do your own wall murals in Seuss characters!

Decorating a Dr. Seuss Themed Room Idea #1

 Dr. Seuss brings out the kid in all of us. What better way to bring your child's room to life then to decorate it in a Seussical theme! Here are some ideas to help inspire your Seuss rooms! I will be posting new ideas through out the next few weeks so check back often to see more unique designs!
Idea #1. Garage sales are a great place to find old furniture to bring back to life! This idea is so easy, find a dresser that is still in stable shape to refinish. Paint white, purchase some new knobs, get some vinyl stickers in the one fish two fish red fish blue fish and your done (I found mine at Target)! That easy, and if you'd purchased that at a boutique it would be hundreds!
