Home Projects


I have been keeping busy working on the girls' bedrooms. I really love this wall decal tree I added to Sophie's room. It included over 100 separate pieces and took about two hours to put up, but it was worth it. Sophie loves it!

You might remember the wooden letters both girls had in LA. Sophie's were green and white gingham, and Madeline's were white with purple butterflies. I spray painted them all a berry color, then added some pink ribbon to Sophie's.


For Madeline's letters, we hot glued them together in a 3-d-ish patten and hung them above her bulletin board.


I had been searching craigs list for a desk for Maddie for weeks.  I wasn't too worried about the finish since I knew I would paint it, but the scale and price had to be right. I found this one for $60.  Here is the before with one of the living room chairs she borrowed:



And here is the after:

I just found this chair on craigs list yesterday. It was a "curb alert" which meant it was free!!  So, sometime this week, I'll paint it and recover the seat with some fabric Maddie picked out.
