Boys Room Progress-Part 3

Sunday, November 2, 2014

We are so close to finishing M&L's room!  Last weekend the shelves went up over Lucas's dresser and this weekend we finished the cornice boards for the windows.


We initially purchased red Lack shelves from Ikea for their room, but I thought since the boys' legos are so colorful that the wood tone would be better.  Plus, I got these for cheap on Craigslist!  


I had seen several tutorials online for using foam insulation to make cornice boards and thought it looked super easy.  I was wrong!  I think cutting thin plywood wood have been easier and we would not have foam pebbles flying all over the house.  Oh well!  They are done and hung now. 

I wanted to add ribbon trim to jazz them up a little bit, but the Hubby disagreed.


To trim or not to trim????

I picked up this fabric from Premier Fabrics in Raleigh.  I love having a local source for all of my Premier Prints favorites.

We are almost done with this space!  Here is what's left on the to do list:

  • Bookshelf/Hutch for between the beds
  • Sconces
  • Gallery Wall
  • Paint final 2 Star Wars canvases
  • Laundry hampers
  • Trick out the closet
  • Drawer knobs



Boys room progress (part 2)

Sunday, October 26, 2014

We are slowly making more and more progress on our boys' bedroom.  The rest of my family was gone this week.  Yeah, I know you are jealous! 




It left a lot if free time so that I could paint their Star Wars canvases.  I also squeezed in a huge abstract 3' x 4' for my neighbor and maybe some shopping and happy hour with a good friend.


It looks fabulous in her 2 story stairwell.

We spent this afternoon installing wood toned Ikea Lack floating shelves and galvanized letters.


My cute little helpers!



M&L love this arrow shelf.  I am not sure where it's going, but I have to find a spot for it since they love it so much.


Boys' Room Progress

Sunday, October 19, 2014

I hope you had a great weekend.  We certainly did!  We managed to make a lot of progress on the Boys' Bedroom by painting the walls, changing out their bedding, finishing their headboards, installing varsity font wall decals, painting a lamp and hanging some art. 


Lots of blogs out there will show one huge room reveal, but I thought I would use more of a One Room Challenge style of update and show you our progress as we go along.


 This picture was taken before I painted the lamp.  You will get to see it red in the next round of photos.
Next I will be working on Star Wars canvases that will be part of a gallery wall. I already purchased the materials.  While at Michael's I scored an awesome pocket watch style red wall clock. I also placed on order for Ikea Lack wall shelves in red and super cute wall sconces.

Navy & Yellow Fall Family Photo Outfits

Saturday, October 18, 2014


 We are getting excited for our Fall Family Photo shoot with Shannon Foster Bradley.  We usually get our pictures taken at Joyner Park in Wake Forest but I think this year we will try out Shelley Lake in Raleigh.

 We went on a family outing to the mall last night trying to get the remaining pieces for our outfits. This year we are going for a navy and yellow or gold color scheme.

 Have a great weekend!
