Nursery Progress!

We've made some progress in the nursery! Here are some pix in collage form:


 

1. The cubbies are done! I Mod Podged cool scrapbook paper to the backs.
2. The stripes on the wall are framed with molding.
3. Curtains have gone up! They have a subtle diamond pattern which I love.
4. I painted our cheap old green side table blue to match the stripes.
5. I Mod Podged some old boxes my mom gave me to match the room.
6. I've started the mobile - it's going to match the DwellStudio Owls bedding.
7. I framed the DS owls pattern in my IKEA frame I already owned.
8. The poochies seem to like the progress too!
Done and done. :)

So here's my original inspiration for the cubbies:


And here's how mine turned out (my camera doesn't do it justice). I opted out of getting the bottom piece, it was more budget-friendly that way. I LOVE how it turned out!

EASY DIY Optimus Prime Costume (Rescue Bots)

Image
My son Mason who is 3 years old (almost 4), wanted to be Optimus Prime for Halloween. He has been watching Transformers Rescue Bots for a few years now, so I knew I wanted to make the Rescue Bots version. I have made his last two Halloween costumes and I was really excited to make this one! So I sat down to do some research on it and Googled "DIY Optimus Prime costume" and a bunch of images popped up that seemed really hard to do and also really hard to trick-or-treat in looking quite boxy and hard to move in, so I just used them as inspiration and came up with my own version aka t he EASY version! Supplies: 2 cereal boxes (I used large Cheerios boxes) 1 additional cereal box to be cut up 2 small boxes (I used Keurig k-cup boxes that I had laying around) Duct tape: red, blue, metallic silver (I found mine on Amazon) 2 empty paper towel rolls Cotton balls Black construction paper Gray paint (I mixed black and white together because that's all I had) 1 pai

Project Organize: Home Office

Image
Recently, I decided I would take on the task of organizing our home. I am getting there slowly, but surely. The first (almost) completed project on my organizing to do list is my home office. I say almost because I still need to polyurethane the desk and put the new knobs on it. Other than that, it's completed and I couldn't wait to take pictures of it and share it! :) It was also great lighting this morning with the sun coming in through the windows, so I grabbed my camera and started shooting. I should also mention, we are almost done with a complete mudroom makeover, so stay tuned for a Mudroom Tour post! :) First, I'll show you the old desk area (picture taken June 2010). We inherited this desk from Michael's sister Laura and I painted it white and spray painted the knobs yellow (to match the chair, duh!). It's so funny looking back at old pictures of how I used to decorate and seeing how I've evolved as I have learned more of what I like. Anyways,
