Master Bedroom

Our Master Bedroom still has a long way to go. If you remember, this is what it looked like when we moved in.

To be honest it doesn't look much different from this now. The wall of blue wallpaper has been stripped and painted. Almost half of all the floral wallpaper is removed but there is still a lot to go and our poor drywall has taken a beating with the removal process. So needless to say, there is still a lot of work to be done and frankly I am having trouble getting motivated. 

on the positive side, fabric.com was offering free shipping on orders of $50 or more, so when I ordered the fabric for our pallet ottoman, I added on some pillow fabric for our Master Bedroom and it is finally here!

Then for Christmas my awesome Mom got us our Duvet Cover from Urban!

so I updated our mood board from the original post on the Master Bedroom.

shared girls room

when we moved into our new house the upstairs bedroom that would be our daughters room was an eyesore at best - this is what it looked like.

i have no idea what they were thinking when they painted this space. if you cant tell from looking, there is a yellow ceiling, two pink walls, two purple walls, and lots of random paint strips and swishes in the corners. it was a hot mess. before moving in, this room had to be addressed. i have always wanted to paint a colored ceiling in my house and i thought this was the perfect room to do it in. heck, it couldn't look any worse right?
wren wanted pink so she got it! this is how it turned out.

The walls are Porter-Atrium White which is used in multiple rooms of our house. The ceiling is a light pink -  Valpsar-Brittany's Bow.

and this is how the room looks now.

Here some girls rooms and shared rooms that are totally adorbs that I cant wait to steal little elements from to continue to sweeten up this space!

Family Room Sneak Peeks

The Family Room has made MAJOR strides since we have moved in. It is probably the most changed room in the house with the change in the mantle and the top to bottom paint job. just to remind you where we started here are some before shots.

i am still putting the finishing touches on this space (and Christmas Decorations) so I don't have any wide shots to share, but I do have some detail shots!

*this picture (above) is probably the best representation of the paint color in real life. I feel it has the perfect balance of navy and gray tones. i did not want anything too saturated or too black/gray. it is the perfect mix! Cavalry by Porter.

advent calendar

i am not sure about everyone else, but Christmas has really gotten away from me this year. i have done barely any of my shopping and half way into the month, i am just now posting my advent calendar. whew. well hopefully it was worth the wait. i tried to use materials that i already had around the house. 1. because i procrastinated. 2. because i am poor. 3. because i was too lazy to go out shopping.

just being honest:)

so i started with a blank roll of paper, grabbed my sharpie and drew a festive wreath. then i hung it on the wall with some washi tape. then i punched circles out of gray cardstock and wrote the days of the month on them. next i folded brown paper bags and glued the number on. then i glued clothespins to the paper. lastly i painted the front of the clothespins metallic silver and put our name and year inside of the wreath and VOILA!

Merry Christmas to you and yours!

love it or hate it.

i tried to find some bright interior spaces that were a bit out there.  others opinions of lovely interiors always interest me.  

so what do you think, love it, or hate it?

sweet baby graysen

i love painting and my most favorite things to paint are nurseries.  i do not get the opportunity to do it as much as i would like but when i do, i really enjoy it.  thankfully i was recently approached by this lovely couple to create a lovely nursery for their little one on the way! 

this is a pan of the room before.

 little graysen's nursery was so fun. the lovely couple wanted cartoon-like characters and wanted me to mimic the characters in the crib bedding. 

below is a picture of the crib bedding.

 it was too fun!  i really love how everything turned out and could not be happier with the outcome.  i hope little graysen likes it too!

 his name above the crib with a little monkey hanging out, and a lion to the right.

 almost all of the nurseries i have done have had a tree, but i think this is my favorite tree so far!

congratulations ashley and billy, i am so happy for you and know you are and will be amazing parents.

love you.
