I know, I know! Long time SOTD readers are probably sick of this idea by now, but I just can’t help it! I LOVE painting growth charts as gifts! They are one of my favorite accessories to have in a little kid’s bedroom as you can literally watch them growth on this portable growth chart. Should you ever move, you’ll always have this piece of art with you to capture all the new heights they grow!

The story behind this one starts last November when I gifted a friend a DIY Farm themed growth chart for her soon-to-be baby boy. The mom-to-be was very happy with it and she asked me to paint one for his older sister!

She had no ideas on a design and let me do my thing. Her room is an eclectic mix of decorations (as are most 4 year olds) but one thing I noticed right away were the butterflies hanging on the walls.

I took this inspiration and went ahead and painted butterflies for the first time ever!

Of course mine are inspired by monarch butterflies but are much more cartoony in nature. I was able to create some ombre wing effects using my different colors of Deco Art acrylic paint that really pop in person.

I can’t wait to see this DIY growth chart hung in her bedroom!

Curious what other designs I’ve done? Check out this Hot Air Balloon, Ombre Seashells and Construction Truck versions I made!

This is by no means the most glamorous upgrade, but it was a necessary one. I picked up this new shoe storage rack at @wayfair and cleaned up the floor in our garage space.

Not shown: installing the racks the first time and having the side brackets upside down and having to redo them. 🙈

In the past we've designed our own shirts, which they've painted with fabric paint or made using a @cricut and heat transfer vinyl, dressed up like old people with lots of dry shampoo, and made a vinyl 100 days rainbow for a teacher! I also offer these smarties themed printables in my shop if you're looking for a sweeter way to celebrate!
