Happy Friday. I hope you all have had a great week. I was planning to wait and show you our new custom pennants once they were hung but when they arrived, I had to show you right away. When we put bunk beds in the teen space, I knew I wanted to hang a couple of pennants so the search was on. I think it’s a really fun way to add a personalized touch without spending a fortune.
I could not love them more. The Etsy shop I ordered them from was fantastic. She does such great work and I am so happy I stumbled upon them. The store is called Fellow Creatures Co.
We asked the kids to choose their favorite spot on the planet. I wanted it to be a place that brings back great memories. My daughter loves the ocean and Treasure Island brings her such joy. She has clocked countless hours body surfing in Laguna and hanging out with friends. Immediately my son said Stillwater because that is where he played pond hockey with his buddies in freezing weather until the sun went down. He was there for a hockey tournament and the boys were invited out to Stillwater. That remains his favorite memory. He would move to Minnesota in a heartbeat.
If you are like the fonts on our pennants, the Laguna Beach one is the national park design and the Stillwater pennant is the Ella design.
And these are the bags they come in. Words to live by. Work hard and be kind.
The plan is to replace the artwork with the two pennants. Any tips on how to hang them? You can see more of the bunk space here.
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend. I just snuck in a walk with a good friend before the rain comes our way. See you back here on Monday.
Hi, love your blog! Just wanted to let you know a tip on hanging your pendants, I used the sticky fun tack on my sons college pendant. It works perfect and you don’t have to put any holes in the actual pendant. Best of all, no nail holes in the wall either, in case you want to move them or add some others. I just rolled the putty fun tack and stuck it on, then pressed on the wall. Easy solution, take care Tracy
Tracy, that is a great idea. I was thinking velcro but I like this even better because they can be moved easily. Will do that this weekend. Thank you for your sweet words. Have a great weekend.
Well apparently I need to use spell check, lol, I meant pennants as well, not pendants! Have a great weekend!
Hi Courtney! I will have to check out this etsy shop. I love this idea, thanks! I have a pennant from a city we lived near that I bought before we moved. I was thinking of using the velcro command strip which isn’t supposed to ruin the walls if you want to rearrange down the road. Can’t wait to see it! The room looks beautiful and so fun for the kids!
Those pennants are such a clever idea! I hung my boys with cute wooden thumb tacks.
It’s so fun watching this room come together.
Cheers!

I love the penants! They are so cute.
Perfect match for the room and the stories behind them are awesome.
How about adding a photo of each of your kids in their special place – not necessarily right near the penants but just in the room?
As a Minnesota resident, I’ll happily trade places with your son. He can have the snow and frozen ponds, and I’ll take the California sunshine! Everybody wins 😉
Deal. He would be the happiest! Have a great week.
I used a straight pin to hang pennants in my sons’ rooms. They leave a small hole, but nothing that can be easily seen. Straight pins are my go to for light-ish things when I don’t think a command strip would work. Looking forward to you sharing the whole room!
Love that idea. Never thought about using straight pins. Hope you had a wonderful weekend.
