Projects galore!

On top of finishing up Livi's room, this is what else has been going on in our house.

 

I've been working on figuring out how to organize the boys closet.  Now that I've got it planned out, I need a day to pull everything out & put a fresh coat of paint in there.  All the walls in this house need freshening up.  And of course, I'm planning some cute stuff in there too.

Also I sewed up some blackout shades for the kids' rooms.  I went there in search of some black felt, to make the shades, but the awesome lady at Hobby Lobby suggested I picked up some curtain liner instead at 30% off.  So $16 for the liner & 3 tension rods at Walmart for a couple bucks.  It nice thick stuff, with kind of a rubber backing even.  Just cut it, no need to hem.  And flipped over enough to make a pocket to hold a tension rod.  And put them up in the kids windows, behind their blinds.  Its white, so it shouldn't look bad from the street.  And behind the blinds, you'll never see it.  I didn't even bother to switch out for white thread, just used the navy that was on the machine.  And viola... in 15 minutes I had 3 blackout curtains.  Left window without blackout shade, right window with.  Incredible difference all for about $20!!  I'm hoping this gets them to sleep past 6:45am!

The toy room bookshelves got a coat of stain.  Now we just need to stain the rest of the shelves & get them put in & we can start the organizing fun!

Office is getting made over too.
