House Project

 One afternoon I was scrolling thru social media and a remodeling site popped up with inspiration photos and I had the thought that we should do that to our master. I sent Matt and picture and now the rest is history. From there I decided the bathroom looked a little vanilla. Once the wheels were rolling we evaluated the entire house. Here's the before, during, and after.

The kids were all excited to get in on the action. Matt was out of town and we wanted to get a jump on it so we painted the wall and then planned to put the geometric pattern on after. 

The kids all did so great!

When the ideas started coming I knew that we needed a new bed I found this one on the classifieds that had only been used for 6 months and had been in storage. It was just what we were looking for. Liam and I took a trip down to Utah county to pick it up on Friday afternoon. It barely fit in the car.. I had to take the wood legs off and it was just right. We love how it looks now for new bedding.

On thing that became apparent quickly is how much smaller the bed and frame were so then we decided to add a bench at at the end.

Then Matt decided we should have a barn door that matched the wall to tie it all together. So we sold it and Matt built a new one. He does suck a great job on all of the things I dream up in my head.

Then while the kids and I moved their rooms around Matt worked on all the other projects. We decided to get rid of the one big mirror and change it up with 2 smaller ones and add some shelves.

From there I decided the bathroom looked a little vanilla. Once the wheels were rolling we evaluated the entire house. Liam has been difficult to get to bed at night unless Matt and I go to bed earlier so we thought thru where we could move him. Ultimately we decided that moving Liam downstairs into Gracie's old room, moving Gracie upstairs into the play room, and the play room into Liam's current room. I have always wanted a playroom on the main floor, in the fall Liam will go to kindergarten and will get up the same time as Emy, Gracie moving upstairs with Hallie works because in the fall they will get up at the same time as well. The kids were all so helpful with the move. It was a make a big mess before you clean it up kinda day.

Liam loved helping to measure for curtains

We also had to paint the trim and take down all the gold polka dots. I wasn't sure how it would come together but it ended up being super cute

With Gracie's room we decided to try wallpaper and then Matt added wood to the bottom. It looks super suites and fits her well.

So much fun to mix things up. We decided to pull the house off the market and wait a couple months before we put it back on with all new pictures and updates. We'll see how it goes
