Master bedroom progress...

Its coming along! I painted the "tv" wall a khaki color(Its a Ralph Lauren color I cannot remember the name!)...

I also moved some frames around which helped open the room up in the weird way that it sounds...

I tried nailing up a cute shelf I found at Target on clearance for 2 dollars however as usual I HIT A STUD!Photobucket I swear to you I hit a stud every time I try and hang anything. Jeff laughs at my luck...However it did not go so well I screamed, yelled and swore at the wall and waited for Jeff to get home!Photobucket

I threw the curtains up and used my no sew hem tape which worked well. Im trying to re purpose the left over curtain for my lamp shades. I am not in love with the way it turned out I will probably buy some sort of decorative piece for the bottom to dress it up. PhotobucketPhotobucket

Jeff has the weekend off where we will buy the supplies for the Pottery Barn side tables as well as crown molding, and the mirror...Should be a weekend of progress

Western Name plate

I made Aubrey and Casey both cute name plates or letters for their room...Trev never had one and mentioned to me the other day he would like one...His side of the room is "cowboy"...After getting ready to throw this puzzle out because we lost half the pieces I realized the back was wood why not re use it! Photobucket

I grabbed my supplies(brush i had on hand, free glidden eggshell paint(LOVE EGGSHELL), rope and a hot glue gun(my nemesis) Photobucket 2 coats of paint later I drew his name in pencil till it was the way I wanted it...then put a small line of jute tracing the letters!Photobucket I then traced over with rope..Photobucket

It was just to plain for my liking so I grabbed some of the wall decals from his room that I had left over and added a few on and sandpapered the edges a litte..Photobucket


It will actually go on the open wall above his bed when I can find a horseshoe or belt buckle to hang it from! I wish it was a little bigger name wise so it would be easier to read but good enough for me..Photobucket

If you do not like my pics maybe Aubrey took better ones as she was following me around...wall say cheese, bed say cheese, picture say cheese :)Photobucket

I am linking up to Kimbas DIY day!!
