Cozy Guest Room

The guest room is finished! I'm pleased with how it turned out- really cozy ☺☺☺

This room was originally Hudson's nursery and I love the paint color (SW Comfort Gray) so I knew I didn't want to change that it needed a new bed and decor. I ordered the bed from Wayfair and was pleased how easy it was to assemble ( although we're a tad nervous due to the fact that I had several bolts left over.... goodness, I hope it doesn't fall apart while someone is sleeping in there! ha!). Above the bed are fabric hoops that I spray painted gray and placed fabric in them.

The focal point of the room is- the antique mantle! I searched and searched for an antique mantle for months before finding this one on Criagslist (really, they should change the name to Lydiaslist). It's originally from a 100-year-old farmhouse and perfect condition. The logs inside the fireplace are cut from my favorite place in the world, Hilton Head Island, where I stuffed a branch from a tree that was destroyed in a Hurricane in the back of my van. I couldn't smuggle enough logs from HHI in my vehicle before Corey found out, so the remainder came from woods at his Grandparents house. The story getting THOSE logs is horrific as Graham and I got covered in a nest of teeny tiny ticks and I literally about LOST MY MIND. It was horrible. I still have nightmares.

There's a weird little nook in this room that is, basically, wasted space so Corey made a floating desk and it fits the space perfectly and makes it feel like part of the room and not just a weird area.

Now on to the next project ;)

Big Kid Room

Hi friends!
What a fun summer! Huddy Buddy has been in his big kid room for a few months but we haven't taken time to slow down and actually document it because we've been having too much fun soaking up summer. But, now that we have to slow down a bit with school and sports it's time to share, what we refer to as the magical big kid room. Why magical? Because for the first two weeks Hudson slept from 7pm until 11am. No lie it was crazy.

The focal point of Hudson's room is- his bed. It's awesome. Corey actually made it and I doubted, very seriously, if it would even fit through the front door and up the stairs but after a little cursing and a lot of sweat we were able to wedge it up the stairs. Do you remember that episode of "Friends" where Ross and Rachel moved the sofa up the stairs? It was a lot like that.

The bed is built as a loft so the boys have a reading nook underneath that they both enjoy. Even though they each have their own rooms I like to include things that they both like in each (Legos in Graham's, Books and Paw Patrol toys in Hudson's).

Now for the pictures!
