Yes, I stenciled in two crowns on our dining room wall with brown CRAYON. On purpose.
Here is our Blessed Mother fittingly displayed under one of the crowns:
The wall surrounding the white vintage mirror just looked a bit bare, and needed something. I was inpired by an old Jeanne D'Arc Living magazine to stencil in two small crowns alongside the mirror.
And if I don't like it after a while, I can just wipe it off. That's the benefit of using a washable crayon. It also gave a more rustic texture than paint:
The stencil was made from a clip-art crown image I found online, cut from sturdy card stock. I just colored inside the shape.
I haven't had a chance to decorate too much for Easter, since we just finished celebrating both my fellas' birthdays - phew!
But I did put out a few items here and there...
And this spring china looks cheerful peeking out of the box I got from the White Elephant outlet:
Speaking of cheerful, here's a sneak peek of what's coming to my Etsy store. I'll let you know when the 'Garden Party' collection has been listed:
I hope you all enjoy a Blessed and happy Easter!

I bet you felt like a kid again when you were using crayon on the walls, Susan! I am in love with your pretty vignettes, especially the blue eggs in the silver pedestal. Love! Happy Easter to you, too!
What a clever idea! Yes, our queen of hearts the Virgin Mary should always have a crown in my opinion. Happy Easter! Marcia
Hi Susan...let's hope the kids don't follow suit since it's washable!! I love the way the crowns look, perfect finishing touch for your display! Happy Easter to you and your family and I am looking forward to seeing you and your picker sister next week!

Home plays vital role in every person's life. I like your home. All things is too good and wonderful in your home. Specially I like your post pillows.
I love your creative crayon crown idea. Looks great! You're right, the texture is something paint can't offer. AND washable, too!
