1. DIY Starry Ceiling
No childhood bedroom is fully complete without at least a few years of a star-covered ceiling. This DIY may not involve awful glow in the dark stickers, but it’s still reminiscent of childhood wonder. To begin this project, the ceiling is first painted a beautiful, subtle blue color then outfitted with gold painted constellation templates.
This project is a little more in-depth and definitely involves a bit of climbing, but the look on your little one’s face when they see their very own starry sky for the first time, is more than worth it.
