Back to school! ...And we're excited about it. What?

I mean, I think that's what I mean.

As all the little kiddies, young adults, and everyone in-between head back to their favorite refuge this fall, we're pretty pumped to see it happen. Not because we're out of school, but because we just finished up a super amazingly cool project at Park Side Elementary in town.


If you don't know Park Side's layout very well, it has large open space as you enter -- an open space with walls. Walls that were previously pretty open. What we did was tackle six of those walls with some various artwork. You've seen one of them ("Welcome to Park Side"). Now check out the rest:

The first wall we installed was just to the right of the "Welcome to Park Side" prints. Obviously, we were hard at work right from the start:


And that hard work turned into this: 


Then we moved on. The next wall was a bit more detailed/intricate, but it fit the theme of the first one very well. Trees, children, knowledge. What's better? 


After we planted the tree, we mixed things up a bit and worked on a dry erase calendar board for the entry way. A little different from what we normally do, but still fun! 



Not missing a beat, we moved right on over to a nearby wall and began hanging this inspirational banner!


And that didn't slow us down one bit. Because WHAM,  few minutes later, we were going to town on the "Attitude Tree."


That's it! All of the actual 'wall' projects were printed on StickIt, our peel & stick fabric, and the dry erase board was put together with a peel & stick vinyl and laminate. We loved having people walk by and cheer us on/give their thoughts throughout the process. It made installation a lot more fun.

We hope the kids & students are loving it now that school has OFFICIALLY started! Happy learning!
