~Entry Tour~

Kelly's room tour this week is of entry ways. My goal here is to create an environment of "Shalom" when you enter our home.


*My mom gave me this wooden desk. She had painted it fuschia (a very bold pink). I painted it black & added the glass amber knobs. We keep our shoes in the baskets. Very functional with a small child!

*This sign hangs above the front door...Pretty much sums it up!

There are crosses, scriptures & faith quotes as you enter.


What we did to this space:
*Hand-scraped Red Oak flooring
*New wall paint
*New trim & door paint
This is the BEFORE:


*As you can see the walls were 3 different colors, the floors were a mixture of stained carpet & dirty vinyl.

Have a blessed day!

~The Playroom Tour~

Kelly's tour this week is of playrooms. Mini-me LOVES her playroom!

*This toy chest is 8 ft. long! I picked it up for $10 at a benefit sale. We re-upholstered it and it works great for that room. We were needing something to store the babies & gear in.
The sign over the window says "I am a dream come true" and she is!

This room is small with tall ceilings & a huge window. The natural light is really great! Rarely do we ever have to turn the light on.
What we've done in this room:
Painted walls
Painted trim
New Carpet
New window treatment (bamboo shade)
BEFORE:
*As you can see, all of those things had to be done! The previous owners had painted the room blue, attempted a cloud design on the walls & then attached foam clouds to part of the ceiling.

Have a blessed Friday!

~Bathroom Tour~

Kelly's tour this week is of bathrooms. My goal in both bathrooms is for them to be clean & neat. The color in both bathrooms is silver, but looks completely different in each room.
Master Bathroom:

*Some of my shell collection in the glass container. Love to look at them while relaxing in the tub...Makes me happy :)

The jacuzzi tub...my favorite thing!






The Guest/Child bathroom:


"May all your dreams come true"

What we did before moving in:
*New flooring
*New paint
*New trim & door paint
*Window treatment in Master

Just for fun, here is the powder bathroom in our previous home. I loved having a powder room! We painted it a color that reminds me of Tiffany blue. Fun for a tiny space!


Hope you have a blessed day!

~Guest Bedroom Tour~

Kelly's room tour is of guest bedrooms this week. We live in a different state than all of our family, so this is an important room in our house. This is a queen bed, so there is not much room for anything other than side tables.

*I made the leopard pillows, drapes & bed skirt.
*The headboard (can't really see) was my parents and is over 30 years old!
*Both side tables are $5 tables & covered with fabric
*The bed is up on lifters for a bit of a dramatic look...PLUS, it adds more storage under the bed ;)

*This iron piece is the middle piece of the 3 piece set that I got at a garage sale for $8!

What we did in this room:
New carpet
New paint (yikes, that blood red was bad!)
New trim paint (I keep mentioning this because it made a HUGE difference in each room. It really brightened everything up & made it look new again.)
New window treatments (there were none)
BEFORE:

Thanks for touring! Hope you have a very blessed day!

Blessed~

~Shabby Princess Room!~


This week Kelly's tour is of children's rooms. We are still in the process of transforming this into a "Big Girl Room". Enjoy!

Mini-me got a "Big Girl Room" for her 4th birthday. My goal was for this room to be a sweet & shabby princess room. She LOVES it and that makes us happy too :)

*Purchased this wooden bed from the JBF sale for $25 and refinished it.

*I made this pillow out of 2 of my childhood dresses :)



*I love the detail on this old shabby wooden shelf. Found it at a garage sale for $4, but talked them down to $2!

*I was able to make these drapes for less than $5!


*The pink tieback was made from a bow off of a childhood dress of mine.

*A very sassy chandelier hung by Poppi!




*Princess bank for my little Sassy Saver!

*Every girl needs a pink pony, right?!


*This knob detail is what sold me on the dresser.


*I fell in LOVE with this painting when I was pregnant. 4 years later, I still love it :)

*The 10 Commandments framed & adorned with jewels :)

The bow wall (behind the door) with a frame says "I am a Child of the King". Love it! Thanks, Nonni :)

*The little white dress was from when I was a baby. My mom kept so many things & I am so glad now that I have a little girl!
*****************************
The room BEFORE we remodeled:


We did the following to the room:
*New carpet
*New chandelier
*New wall paint
*New trim & door paint
*Window treatment
Basically everything!

Hope you enjoyed the tour of my little girl's room!

Have a blessed day!

~OU Office Tour!~

This week Kelly's room tour is of offices. We are HUGE OU (University of Oklahoma) fans, so it is only fitting that we would have an OU office in our Texas home. I loved hearing from some of the "Sooner Nation" regarding the OU Sid Dickens in my living room!
My goal for this room was to create an elegant take on a sports theme. So, I made the drapes, pillows & ottoman cover for some added texture to the room. This is a room where we work on the computer & watch movies. A fun room for our family!






The bookcase holds pics of the following events:
*Big 12 Game
*National Title Game
*OU vs. OSU Game
*Pics w/ Barry Switzer (He is really a nice guy!)
*Vintage OU Mugs
*Autographed Footballs
*Oil painting of the Stoops brothers coaching at OU

*Computer desk...I don't have a post-it problem...Promise! My fav Coach leaves me sweet love notes on here and they make me smile throughout the day :)
**********************
This is what was done in this room:
*New carpet
*New wall paint
*New trim paint
*Window treatments
*Ceiling fan

The office BEFORE:


Thanks for touring & BOOMER SOONER :)

Hope you have a blessed day!
