Harley's underwater habitat

Harley is into ocean life~ so we are working on getting her room decorated just for her. We found the three gold fish at Goodwill on a 50% off day Holla~ The Wyland picture is from the auction only 3.00. Then I found some wall paper border at Wal mart. I have never done wall paper before so I hope it sticks. I am really proud of us. She helped me get it up. I am impressed with how straight it is. I can't see a straight line if I had a ruler. We still need curtains but looking good so far. HGTV, Deisgn on a Dime, I am available if you want me to consult. I guess I have raw natural talent. Okay I don't buy any of that crap but if I do say so myself; I think Harley and I rocked it. More importantly; and all that really matters is she LOVES her underwater habitat.

PS~ another thing to add to my HGTV, Design on a dime resume.... I didn't have enough wall paper border to go all the way around. Most people would have A. measured before they went to the store, or B. went back. Well me being both LAZY and CHEAP. I decided to leave an open area but not wanting to waste what little wall paper roll I had left over, I cut them out and placed them by the picture that I hung myself. I am really impressed with me if I do say so myself. It was fun doing this with Harley.

I know it seems like no big deal for you but i have no artistic abilities. None what so ever. I can't even match my own clothes. It makes life a little tough but I have learned to deal with it.

You will notice some more advanced techniques when I actually had to measure ( okay I eyeballed it and it has the monet affect, from afar it looks great just don't get to close to see the details, to get it around the door. AND AND I had to turn the corner on the window. I know, I am impressed too.
