In order to avoid having to deal with the big issues of the "revamp", I'm focusing on the minute details like making a name banner for Porter's new "retro-sport non-theme" room. I had my camera handy so I'll give you a little step by step.
I saw these little wood shapes at Michael's and instantly thought "pennant". They were only .99 I think. (Steal!) 
1. Glue scrapbook paper to the shape, let dry, then sand the edges.
2. Glop on lots of Mod Podge. I did two coats.
3. Paint the letters black. (in the freezing cold, outside, in the dark) 
I have been thinking how in the future my new children will have only 3 letters maximum in their first names. This will come in handy to save money on buying fewer letters and such, and also fit on preschool bags much easier. What was I thinking with Brooklyn? That is never going to fit across her school bag. Anyway...
4. Glue black letters to the pennants.
5. Thread in some ribbon.
6. Hang it up.
7. Go to JoAnn's and buy more ribbon to add.
8. Or just take the ribbon off.

That is a GREAT idea!! I'm thinking Black with orange letters for Tyler's room!!
Oh, and go diagonal for Brooklyn's name.
