Total Room Makeover

So for the last few days I have been very busy redoing our whole room, and tonight it is finally done!

I forgot to take a before picture so I went digging through Photo-Bucket and found an old picture that shows some of it ...

We also had miss matched night stands and such... Oh and the mattress was 12 years old... So who is ready for the final product...

Everything has been replaced... I love love love this room! I also have my spot for all my blogging and couponing in our bedroom...

 

So, now that this is done and the bed is lifted... I think i will move the toilet paper and paper towels under it... My next project will be to clean out some cupboards in the kitchen so that I can condense and create more space for my canned goods... 

Memory Board

Whats needed: 

• Cork broad or white broad (I had a white broad already, plus i can use magnets on it)
• Scissors 
• Hot glue gun
• Enough fabric to cover your borad
• Ribbon 
• Buttons

 

Cover the broad with the fabric using the hot glue

 

Use the hot glue to affix the ribbon in a pattern of your choice

 

Glue the buttons where the ribbons cross and at the corners 

Redecorating

So I am redoing David's room which wont mean a ton of work, but a bit needs to be done I will be repainting his letters, I painted these while I was pregnant, at the time I did them in pastels but as David has grown into a little boy who is walking at 8 months old he needed something a little bit more colorful! The inspiration for his room comes from the toy organizer pictured below, I will also haning curtains and a valance, as well as a car rug on the floor.

Grandma Susan will be making David a quilt to match his room and Daddy will stain the shelf pictured below that will have the airplane and train pained and attached to the shelf.

Shaby Chic Magnets

So I needed more magnets and came up with a cute idea at Micheal's the other day, I saw these really cute shabby chic clothes pins and thought that they could have magnets glued to the back so that is just what I did!

 

So just decorate some clothespins however you choose, or buy the ready made ones and glue 2 small magnets to the back one above the hinge and the other below, In all it ran me about 8 bucks to make 16 of these, 4 of which I glued to the corners of the chore borad.
