Boys room 5 (reveal)

So I took these photos before I painted the dresser so sorry it isn't a REAL reveal, it is only a kinda one! However I don't know when I will actually take up to date photos and I wanted to get it posted!

DRUM ROLLL!!!!

My big boys beds!!! 

The painting above Ewan's bed is one that I bought a few days after I found out I was gonna have Liam! 

 I have another Christ picture above Liam's dresser

 

Here are the beds side by side! 

FINAL
Before and AFTER

Here is the breakdown of the steps

Plan 1

 

Quilt and Paint 2

Frames 3

Touch up becomes a project and 4b!

 

AND one more TIME! 

  

Boy room 4b!!

I got pain happy! I thought the handles looked blah! So I took them off and spray painted them to match Evans headboard!!

Boys room 4 (Touch up becomes a project)

I am getting closer and closer to the end! !! And I needed to touch up a few bits of paint. I got a little container of paint and this is what happened!!

FYI that is the back of the dresser Ewan wanted to help! 

Ok the before 

and after

I only did one coat of paint to try and keep the grain of the wood!! 

Not a huge transformation but so beautiful!!! And fun!

Seasons

I have never really been a fan of winter. It's COLD!!! I am always cold, between low blood pressure and a lack of exercise I'm cold all the time. 

Today while driving my Liam to school it was starting to drizzle. My two boys were ecstatic!!! "It's snowing mom!!!" 

It changed my thoughts! If we all could enjoy the beautiful snow and seasons I get to enjoy where I live!!!

It's hard to see in the pic but look at the snow fakes falling down on find area above the garage!!! 

Boy Room 3 (Frames)

I will always remember the dress I came home from the hospital in. Not in the way that I remember that day, but I have a sweet picture of me in my blue and white dress that my daddy bought for me to come home in.  When I was little I used to dress my little cabbage patch doll in that dress. It was very meaningful to me that my dad bought the dress and I have treasured it for many years. 

I decided that I wanted my kids to have the same opportunities I have been able to have so their hospital clothes were very important to me.  Shortly after I found out that my first (Liam) was a boy I went shopping. I knew I wanted real clothes (as in not a sleeper). I found the perfect blue mickey mouse jumper.  And shoes! You can't leave the hospital without shoes! :D Then I found these on pintrest! Yes it is an addiction! 

 

I knew that this was something I was gonna need for my kids. So i've had the idea in my head for along time, but no action had been taken.  

Then with my second (Ewan) sadly second kids get the short end of the stick.  A few days before he was born I knew I needed to get him his own special outfit and as luck would have it I found a perfect Red Mickey shirt with cute little TINY pants! Once again he needed shoes too.  

I've had the closes in the boys dresser and finally decided about a 4 months ago that I wanted to get them done before I lost them. I found a cheap pair of shadow boxes and bought them. I also printed a few photos to put in the frames as well.   

Stuck them in the frames and left them.  They sat behind the boys closet for a while then I decided to add another project. OF COURSE before I finished the first. 

Chris was baptized as a baby in the catholic church in this sweet little jumper that his great grandma sharp made for him.  She made the jumper, shirt and amazingly beautiful blanket! 

Both of our boys where then baptized in this sweet outfit. I wanted to make sure it is safe since it is such an amazing piece of artwork. 

On this one I opted to not go for the cheap frame since I knew i wanted it to fit the whole blanket as well. I also plan to put images of my 3 boys in this beautiful frame at the top.

Once I got that done it motivated me to hang the other frames.

I still need to finish the last touches on them but I think it looks pretty good. 

What do you think?
