All done! This one took us a little longer than the nursery, since Ari was already born and there was no built in deadline….but I’m really pleased with how it turned out. And, almost as even more importantly, Ari is, too. And now for the long post with tour and sources for everything. (I guess it would be more exciting if … Continue reading
Just a quick post about this little grouping of pictures next to Ari’s bed, then we finish up a couple of things this weekend, and we’re done! I think the sun room is going to get some more attention next. Okay, so on the list I posted the other day, this was referred to as a gallery wall, but really … Continue reading
It’s an Indigo Girls reference. Get it? In a bit of poor timing, I had Strange Fire in the disc changer in my car for awhile just before I did this project, and now I can’t get that song (or at least that line) out of my head. I came up with the idea for this project one day while I … Continue reading
When we first started planning Ari’s room makeover, I mentioned that we were contemplating either a pallet wall or headboard. I guess the picture above is kind of a spoiler…we went with headboard. I also did enough reading about the potential chemical laden scariness of pallets to decide to play it safe and buy brand new wood instead, seeing as … Continue reading
Back in the old days, like the day before yesterday, the curtains in Ari’s room looked like this: The colors were nice in there, but I wasn’t crazy about the cafe length thing, and they weren’t in the best condition thanks to some naughty kitties (he’s had them for quite awhile–they were around for a few years at the old … Continue reading
Not going to lie; I’m pretty excited about this one. It’s a project that could not be a Pinterest Challenge, because I came up with it all on my own. Not that a striped dresser is anything unique, but I haven’t seen any other subway map striped dressers. Back when I posted about the plans for Ari’s room, I mentioned that … Continue reading
Back when I talked about our plans for Ari’s room, I mentioned how much I loved this two toned dresser at Simply Klassic Home: Two toned dresser at Simply Klassic Home ….and how I planned to redo his desk in the same style. Fortunately, I also pinned it to my board of ideas for his room, so when I saw … Continue reading
My goal is to finish Ari’s tween room before he’s a teenager. Or, preferably, by the beginning of April, because we have a big project in mind for Dave’s spring break. We’ll see how things go, though, as always. But! There has been definite progress since I first posted about the current state of and future plans for Ari’s room. … Continue reading
And now, at last, I reveal the super secret project that I actually already mentioned, back when I posted about August and Milo’s room. It’s also a really simple project, both in theory and in execution, so I hope no one feels too let down by all my “super secret” build up. I came across the idea to make a … Continue reading
Now that we’ve finally hung up those lights and added Milo and Gus’ room to the house tour, it seems only fair that we pay some attention to Ari’s room now. Because this is what has been going on in Ari’s room for the past several months: Umm….I really hate painting trim. Can you tell? I pretty much wish we’d … Continue reading
