Weston's Room

So apparently this is the only before picture I got. I think you get the idea! 

 It was kinda hard to get good pictures. The room is pretty small, so I couldn't get a good overall picture.

It was a little challenging decorating for a boy. I'm used to girly things and didn't want to add too much fru-fru. It's a clean and simple look and just feels "fresh." Besides, once he gets a few months older and his big sister helps drag everything out, it'll get the cluttered look. :)

Found the toy box at Christmas Tree Shops for about a third of the price everywhere else. I love it! Debbie made the curtains.



Waiting on Weston to fill those frames! :)

I couldn't find a bedding set that I loved, or that was in my price range, so I attempted to make one. It'll do (ha).


There is no closet in this room. This used to be my scrapbook nook at our other house. Glad we had it.

The ambulance came from Papa Mark's collection and the ball and glove came from Grandpa Rose's barn.


The sock monkey is also a reminder of Papa Mark. He used to have one when he was little.

Mirror Redo

You know the type-big, gold, and gaudy!
Nothing a little spray paint won't fix.

Spring Table Decor

Threw this together yesterday out of my spring stash. I really don't have an excess amount of spring decor, but have been picking up things on the cheap here and there-usually when it's on clearance the year before.

Kitchen Box

I've had this box for awhile. Found it at TJ Maxx and I love it!! It fits perfectly above my sink.

28 Weeks

You'll notice by my ticker that I'm a little behind getting this posted. Such is my life nowadays! :) 
Arilynn wanted in on the action:

Bedding

Been working on Weston's bedding. I was on a roll until I was short 3" of material. Grr!! :) 

I must be pregnant or something b/c I've actually enjoyed doing some sewing. (Mom, ignore that last sentence).  Granted, I'm not following a pattern or the sewing machine would have probably already been chucked out the window. Well, maybe not since it's my sister's and she'd make me buy a new one.

DIY Art

I've been SLOWLY working on Weston's room (emphasis on the slowly). I had in mind to accent with "vintage toys" or toys that were made to look vintage. However, vintage prices and I do not agree!! So, on one of our many trips to Christmas Tree Shops (you must go if you ever see one) Rachel spotted these wall art stickers for $1.00. 
That's more like it!! :)

I mounted the stickers on white cardstock and voila! Got the look without the price.
