Progress in Lady D's Room

We finally got Daphne's room painted! Settled on mauve for the walls after 2 or 3 last minute changes of mind. It looks great and it's going to go perfectly with the decor I've picked out so far.

Still have a few more things to pick up but we have lots of time. Thankfully my parents have a dresser that they are no longer using and is already painted the colour we want. Thanks ma and pa!

We still don't have the floors installed. It's been 3 weeks since they were ordered so I think the company is just dragging there feet at this point. I was ok with the delay cause it made it easier to paint without having to worry about the floors. But now that the walls are all done I'm a little perturbed. I'm gonna pull out my best "don't fuck with me" voice and see how quickly they get done. Wish me luck!

Once the floors are done the contractors will be back to install the trim, electrical stuff and ceiling light. Then we can finally start moving stuff in. Everything is living in our room right now and I'm getting pretty sick of looking at it scattered everywhere!

Planning Daphne's New Room!

We had always planned to move Daphne into the other room eventually. With the unexpected renovation we had a little push to get it done.

My inspiration for her room was for it to be super clean and modern. I want you to walk in and known this is a toddlers room, cause of the toys, but take those out and it could be a teenagers room, or even a guest room.

Lot's of white, pale pink on the walls, and some gold accents. I found some gold circle wall decals on amazon that will work perfectly. Shout out to Heather for the idea!

We are trying to do this room really cheaply. So we cheaped out on a few things that we can replace later with better quality. For example; the curtain rods have plastic ends instead of metal (they cost $8), I'm reusing 2 lamps we already own, we are repainting a bedside table so we don't have to buy a new one...stuff like that.

I'm very excited to get this room going. I'll probably post some updates on our progress or possibly just the finished room. I do hope to have it done before the end of the year.

Unexpected Renovation

We had a tiny water leak in our spare room. A storm knocked a couple of shingles off our roof and water just came flooding in. Of course since it happened at night and in the spare bedroom we didn't notice until the next afternoon.

So my house is a banging, pounding, power tool centre for the next month while they fix the water damage.

All I can say is thank goodness for home insurance, and for our awesome claims adjuster who helped us knock our deductible down to $0.

This also gives a great excuse to repaint this room...I never liked the colour anyway!
