New Room for Large

I'm almost done with Large's room.

She loves how it came together and I do too.

There are small things left to do and I'll pick them up randomly as I find them.

The black and white fabric on her bulletin board is a major score from Ikea,

only $7.99 per yard.

It reminds me of Albert Hadley's Fireworks print.

Apple Green Rustoleum was exactly the color I was looking for in a desk chair.

It's the perfect mint green.

Frames are from Target.

Wall color is BM Ming Jade.

Bedding is from PBTeen and the monogramming is only $7 extra per monogram.

Last but not least,

the perfect finishing touch to the room is the decorative pillow I bought on Etsy from

Pearl Button Designs

at the wonderfully low cost of 35 bones.

Okay. I'll stop.

Exciting News

I was officially asked to design an office space for a friend who works from his home.
When I say 'official' I mean he offered me money.

I've helped numerous friends with their homes but always felt silly taking money from them.
But now I feel it's not so silly.
It's what I want to do with myself, hopefully more so after kids are older.
Also, reading this helped.

Large's room redo is almost complete.
Her new bedding and curtains came last week and they look amazing with the new wall color.

This is her new wall color.

I also found a vintage bentwood chair for $35

that I'm painting mint green to go with the desk I scored on eBay for $99.

I love eBay more than most people I know.

True story.

And as long as I'm divulging everything, this is my new favorite table topper from Jayson

that I don't own but someday hope to.
