Disclaimer: The wall stencil and stencil brush I received for free. Thank you Royal Design Studio Stencils for so generously gifting them to me. All opinions are very much my own. When I started dreaming of how I wanted to create my Reagan's new bedroom, I knew I wanted lots of color, texture, patterns, and fun. I pictured fun color with pops of natural elements and black and white contrasts thrown in. What I did not take in account was my daughter having an opinion, and she had one. She Continue Reading
Boy Bedroom Stencil
Disclaimer: The wall stencil I received for free. Thank you Royal Design Studio Stencils for so generously gifting it to me. All opinions are very much my own. Painting is therapeutic to me, but I usually do have to do a big build up to start a room. There is something about just getting over that hurdle that is hard for me.

When A Project Bombs
When a project bombs, you want to... admit you never tried it... crumple it up and stomp on it... keep going till you perfect it... do anything but admit it didn't work... at least that was me tonight. I stared at that alphabet and silently threatened it. "I will beat you," I kept thinking to myself. It's my own fault. I waited till the night before we start our school year to try to make a new alphabet poster. So, maybe that is part of my frustration. Since most of our school supplies Continue Reading
