kiana’s bedroom makeover

April 12, 2012

so far, since moving to boston everyone has had some sort of mini bedroom makeover. whether that included fresh paint, or paint + a little bit more… i wanted to create a comfy new bedroom for each kiddo. now that kiana has her own space, here is a peek at what we did. i’m totally pleased with how inexpensive this was and how it turned out.

paper wall art

using doilies, coffee filters, and a couple of these paper lotus kits, i created this wall collage in my girls room:

happy birthday…

January 12, 2010
to me!

i had a fabulous birthday {week.}

chalkboard wall

January 8, 2010

since seeing this playroom chalkboard wall, and the inspiration bonbon shared, i have really been itchin’ to get a chalkboard wall painted! after i took down our christmas decor, and before we hosted our nye party…

of course, like most home makeovers, this project included a couple of steps i didn’t expect. for example, dusty and i made our trip to lowe’s, purchased our paint supplies and then i expected to just come home, tape the walls and start painting.

no.

dusty & danny decided to apply some spackling, sand the texture down, making sure the chalkboard turned out smooth,
