Milestones

I have seen this project all over Pinterest and Pottery Barn which means that I automatically went "of course I can do it cheaper and of course I can do it myself." And I did. All you need is:

1 1" x 6" x 6' piece of lumber

1 can of polyurethane

1 roll of vinyl numbers from Etsy or DIY'd from your own Silhouette Cameo

2 eye hooks

2 hooks

1 tape measure

It took an afternoon to do this. I simply sanded the edges of the lumber, applied one coat of polyurethane, stuck down the ruler numbers I bought from Etsy, applied one more coat of poly, attached 2 hooks to the top and then two eye hooks to our beam. Then we measured 1 foot from the floor and hung it appropriately. 

The greatest thing about this is that if we move, we can take it with us as opposed to all of those marked up doorways that get painted over when families move.

Dragons

Sometimes when your daughter loves dragons, you have to get creative. Thanks to the Silhouette Cameo, making my 3 year old's bedroom a virtual dragon's den was easy (relatively speaking that it... these actually took a lot of work).
