Hadley's Nursery/Big Girl Bedroom: Monogram Over Bed

Tal and I are putting the finishing touches 

on Hadley's nursery/big girl bedroom!

Today we hung Hadley's initials (HVA) above her bed:

I bought this 24-inch monogram on Etsy:

The monogram arrived unpainted, so I bought a couple bottles of craft paint

 (Ocean Breeze by Craftsmart) at Michael's. I picked a tuquoise color that coordinates with 

Hadley's Seaside Floral Bedding from PBteen:

After giving the monogram a couple coats of turquoise paint, 

it was ready for hanging:

The monogram was lightweight, so Tal and I hung it with 

two medium Command Strips:

I love how the monogram makes Hadley's bedroom more personal, 

as well as ties in with the room's turquoise and pink color scheme:
