Bedroom Update #1

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 storage and organization, and
  • Cleaning out and organizing the closet

Creating the backyard of your dreams

Let's talk gardens. I LOVE my garden. It's by far my favorite part of our house / yard, but it hasn't been quick. When we first bought our house, the backyard had been over-run by dogs and weeds. Our yard was also almost a foot lower than both of our neighbors, and as such we had a LOT of flooding issues during spring thaw. First step was to raise the yard to be level with the properties on either side of us. With my work, I do a lot of grading planning, so we were able to utilize that to ensure that we could minimize water runoff issues. I cannot stress this enough.  When re-designing an outdoor space.  HAVE A PLAN. Understand where you want water to go. How the sun moves across the yard Can your neighbors see you? Do you want them to? Common travel paths If you have pets, where you want them to do their business Do you want a garden? Do you want to plant flowers every year? Or would you rather lower maintenance perennials? Do you have trees? Do you want trees? Do you have

Love the house you live in - Part 2

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 (
