Nursery Plans and Progress

Behr Ashes

Hey hey hey, I’m still here! No exciting “I went into labor over the weekend” or anything like that so I might as well write a post right? I want to at least show you what room the nursery will be and what progress I’ve made on it thus far. We’ve had lots of changes [...]

The Boy’s Room Makeover!

Tween Room Makeover

Well, I’m finally going to reveal my stepson’s room today.  I started his room pretty much exactly 1 year ago, but that doesn’t mean it took me that long to finish it.  It’s actually been done for quite some time, but I just haven’t written about it yet. :)  He is in the tween years [...]

The Coolest Map Ever

World Map Decal

Happy Monday!  Today I am going to show you all a new addition to the boy’s room and I just love it.  It’s a huge world map wall decal that my sponsor Curly Q Wall Decals and Decor sent me. I love the vibrant colors and this map is huge measuring at 26 inches tall [...]

Meet My New Yellow Lamps {A Spray Paint Project}

Homegoods Lamp

Do you all remember how I’ve been searching for some yellow lamps for about, ohhhh, 6 months now to go in my stepson’s room? If you don’t remember or are new here (hello!), I have.  And guess what?  I never have found any.  But the good news is that I did find some lamps I [...]

Because I’m Cool Like That. :)

chalkboard wall before

Y’all know I love me some chalkboard paint, yes?  And the only request my stepson had since I’ve been redoing his room is to have a chalkboard wall somewhere in there.  But something about painting black on the wall scared me a little bit.  But, I got over it and got to work, so therefore [...]

Is Teal The New White? (And a Sneak Peek)

Behr Underwater Sample

When I started doing my stepson’s room, I knew what color I wanted in my head.  I didn’t want the standard boy blue, thought about doing navy, but then decided a dark teal would be pretty. And by the way, my stepson gave me free reign in his room as far as the paint color [...]

How To: The Paneled Wall

MDF Cutting

Thanks for all of the love on my stepson’s new paneled wall!  We just love it, and so does he! Ok, now on to the tutorial.  I have to give a special thanks to Rambling Renovators first and foremost for the inspiration behind this project.  If you haven’t checked out their paneled wall yet, you [...]

The Paneled Wall Is Finished!

Paneled Wall

*Update* – Click here for the tutorial. Looks much better painted, yes? :) And a few more shots… And one of my favorite parts of the wall is this. No matter where you look, the wall makes crosses!  I didn’t even realize that until I was painting.  But I think that’s super cool. It’s a [...]

Progress on the Boy’s Room

Paneled Wall Progress

This is where we are on my stepson’s room with the paneled wall. Everything has been caulked, spackled, and sanded so it’s all ready to be painted white. Hopefully I can do that tonight after American Idol. (Go team Casey and team Lauren!). And we decided instead of having just a bunch of boxes on [...]

The Boy’s Room

IMG_0115

My stepson (and my stepdaughter’s) rooms need some serious TLC.  We haven’t really done anything to their rooms.  Lot’s of hand-me-down and mixed matched things in their rooms.  But it’s time to fix that and make their rooms a nice little retreat. Here is his room as it is today. And I am sorry–it was [...]
