Another Switcheroo.

Phew – I have been busy! But I’m home with a sick little one today, so I have a chance to update you all a little and hopefully I won’t be so MIA for a while. Well, I take that back – when I’m not here, I’m working like crazy so that’s a good thing!

I’ve come to realize that we’re rather spontaneous when it comes to our house sometimes. We talk about our house a lot (more than most, I think!) and what we need or want, but a lot of it is just dreaming. But when something can become a reality, we kind of just jump on it and make it happen!

For instance, we’ve been talking about getting a new bed for a while now, but weren’t sure when it would actually happen. So I decided to post a picture of our old bed on Facebook saying it was for sale to see if anyone was interested – and 20 minutes later it was practically sold! Then we did some final research (we’d already done a lot) and bought a new mattress and bed online – woo hoo!

So next we decided to switch rooms with Harper. Why? Well hers has a half bathroom and Glenn wanted it. But it has a smaller closet and it’s a little smaller so I was a little torn. At first. Her room is more of a square and ours is longer and skinnier (a rectangle). Which after I thought about it, makes more sense for our King size bed. Anyway, we’ve switched rooms, put the bed together, painted and the new armoire for Glenn is on the way (solving the closet problem!).

Luckily both the mattress and bed had free shipping and arrived very, very quickly (thank you, Amazon Prime!!) so we had a new set-up by the weekend! So here’s a sneak peek of our new room – more to come soon!

I love that what took us almost 2 hours to put together, is time lapsed into less than 2 minutes. I also love that Glenn tested the bed out and you see a flash of me about to jump on it, ha! Enjoy!

Pimp My Trailer

Ah, the joys of modern technology. I’m currently sitting in our camp trailer/RV in an RV park in a little town about 40 miles from Likely. And I’m on my laptop, clicking away while my daughter naps…my husband is at the local high school gym getting ready for his basketball game that starts in half an hour. And I’m admiring the new floor my husband just installed in our little trailer, and it makes me cringe at the decor in the rest of it!! It’s not bad – the trailer is only a few years old – but if any house was decorated like this it would be considered so dated and HIDEOUS! So why is it okay to decorate a new camp trailer like we’re in 1988?? Blue and tan florals with oak cabinetry, brass hardware and faux sponge painted walls…I’m very tempted. And these are a few photos that inspire me…

Not necessarily exactly how I’d want to do the trailer, but I love the customization!

I want modern patterns, colors and new metals! And I think I could do a lot of it myself…well, with me and a staple gun and a power drill! The sewing I’d need help with…

And I think I didn’t finish this post when I first started it because I really can’t find any more good inspiration images. I feel like I’ve scoured the entire internet, so I’m just going to have to do it all myself! Please let me know if you find anything good out there!!

For the moms…
