Work in progess - butterfly room

I’ve been dreaming of this project since we moved to our new house.. Procrastinating for the longest time… … We discussed this a few times, and its lovely to see that the people I call family are as mad as I am… *smiles* So here is introducing you to my madness… I wanted butterflies to fly in from the end of the staircase into my girlies’ room.. I was going to do the butterflies free hand… (as you can see - my night photography is aweful)
Ramya – the creative head… came up with the stencil idea. (Consistent butterflies look prettier). We searched high & low for butterfly stencils but couldn’t find any. She finally made a few butterfly stencils… Making of the stencils will in another post.
Reshma at work, giving these the final touches. These are meant to be pink… Ramya & Reshma insisted that there should be a fusion of colours in one butterfly.. ie.. the first one goes from being pink to orange…
Rose making a pretty pink butterfly…
Ramie removing the stencils..
Reshma still at work…
For now I’m linking this to Funky Junk Interiors & Pink Saturdays. Hope you are joining the party as well… *smiles*
My earlier plans… have changed slightly. There is still lots of work to do. The butterflies look gorgeous and I’ll share my favourite project with you once its all complete. Hope you all are having a gorgeous weekend...

  8. I have contemplated cutting butterflies out, buying a punch (Martha Stewart has one), or even a stamp - by hook or by crook I am going to get some butterflies into my life!

    Yours look beautiful, and so much fun when it is a joint effort~
