I'm SO excited to start sharing the bedroom updates! (Please once again, don't mind the messy bed) We've finally got all the walls painted, and after I got over my initial shock of all the pink, it's quickly turning into one of my favorite rooms! The rainbow wall decals and putting back up the dark shelves really help to visually break things up (makes the pink a bit less in your face). I was also able to craft up a light switch cover using some polymer clay. This photo also give a way better idea of what the pink walls actually look like. I've only been able to take photos of the whole room in the evening, and the lighting isn't the best. Next steps in the project include: Building the dollhouse Painting the world map on the back of the door Finding a headboard that isn't going to break the bank... and that I like. I'm starting to think I might need to just bit the bullet and make it myself. Building some under the bed rolling drawers for additional sto

The Bedroom(s) Where do I even start when it comes to bedrooms. Ours are a mess, and trying to convince my daughter to sleep in her own is a chore on it's own. So to try and entice her to sleep more in her own bed, we (well... I... ) decided that she could redecorate her room how she wanted it. Below is the before picture, and as we're in the middle of re-painting I'll post the after in another post. Previously the walls were grey (and clearly needed a lot of patch work!) and the room has white trim. She decided that she wanted a rainbow room. There's no way I'm going to test the limits of my abysmal wall painting skills to paint the walls rainbow (I'd like to think I have quite a few artistic talents, but wall painting is not one of them), so we compromised on pink walls with rainbow decals. I'm also eyeing up some super cute sun catcher window decals! I'm also hoping to make this into a room that can grow with her, so that when she changes her mind in
The Living Room After decluttering, I started moving around furniture. Being lucky enough to work with CAD software on a daily basis I was able to move the furniture around digitally before committing to any kind of layout. The upstairs of our house is a large open concept where the living room flows into the dining area into the kitchen. Do you know what also flows? Clutter. The goal is to eventually put back some walls that had been taken down by previous owners, and give spaces a dedicated purpose. And to slow that flow of clutter! Currently, this is what the space has been changed to. An open sided Ikea bookshelf allows for light from the window to flow through the room, while also creating a small reading nook. Lighting is a big issue in this room, and will be addressed when we go through renovations No large scale remodelling renovations are planned for this space, they'll just include the items shown below in red. A bit of the wall will be extended, a post to be added (
