Dining Room Makeover

Paint Color: 

Lowe's Valspar Stillness 7005-2

Here are the instructions for our 

Homemade Chalk Board Memory Verse Sign 

Do it Yourself Chalk Board Sign

In our house the memory verse changes every week... 

And sometimes with busy schedules they are hard to keep track of?! 

So we decided to make our own sign

I got my materials from Michaels but I am sure you can find these things at any hardware store

Chalkboard Spray Paint

White Spray Paint

Wood Cut to the size of the sign you want

Some pretty dainty trim

Wood Glue

Wood Clamps

Chalk

Eraser

Picture Hangers for the back of the sign

Here is the paint I used:

First lay out your wood and spray paint all the pieces

Then depending on the size of your sign you may glue the pieces and use a few finishing nails!

Its really that easy!

Now our verse is easily visible and a great daily reminder of where our focus as a family belongs!

2 Year Old Bedroom Makeover

M2's room... We didn't have to paint this one! Yeaaahhhhh! I really do like to paint but I do NOT like painting every single room in the house in one swoop... So I was very happy that the colors in this room work great for M2's decor!

Our house has two dormers in the front and 2 dormers in the back. So each of the girls rooms have a dormer in the front and the back! I have to say I love dormers! They are so much fun!

We created a "reading room" in each girls bedroom in one of the dormers

All you need

Curtains

Curtain rod with wall cups

or a tension curtain rod

A few gutters for book shelves 

A cute light

And a Handy Husband!

M2's reading room has some of her favorite toys, a large pouf that I will post instructions for in the future, two gutter bookshelves, a little yellow rug and a bead lamp (thanks to Target).

Living Room Redo/ Makeover

The living room started out a very interesting color combo of terra cotta and peach...

Obviously not my favorite color!

 

Here are the before pictures:

And the front door:

 

We picked two colors for the living room

The first color was a tan/gray combo it looks tan in some lights and more gray in other lights

From Lowes: 

Valspar Portland ar1317

 

The second color was an accent color for the one wall and the front door:

Valspar Pacific Coast 4004-4B
