I haven’t shared Clara’s room for awhile here, so I thought I’d show you some fun touches I’ve added! I hung a large macramé curtain behind a mirror over her desk, some gold star decals on the ceiling and even some new artwork. Last week we did virtual learning with all three kids at home… Read More Updated girl’s room with mural and macramé wall
I saw this dollhouse by the side of the road on our way home from church and knew it must be ours … I mean Clara’s! It must be Clara’s. I had a goal of a few hours and $20. It makes me crazy to find a freebie and then spend a bunch of money… Read More Doll house makeover & DIY Barbie furniture
The boys room was very bland and needed some pop! I decided on a bold, teal accent wall with board and batten ($100). I added a fun detail to the ceiling by stamping it with a star in the same color ($5). I also found some affordable posters ($9) and hung them with cheap wooden… Read More Blue green board and batten wall in boys’ shared room
My mom says you can do anything with four blank walls, and this room is proof she is absolutely right! Clara’s room is fairly small with no architectural detail or high ceilings, but with a vibrant framed mural it’s stunning! I asked her if she’d switch me rooms and she said no. I’ll show you… Read More Framed green garden mural in girl’s room

For awhile our house looked like a daycare blew up, but because we eat, sleep, play and work all in this one space, we had to simplify and get organized! On top of spending loads of time at home,… Read More How I organize my house with kids
Clara’s favorite place at our local children’s museum is the play house. It has a kitchen, table, high chair, ironing board, food. She could play there for an hour, but her brothers never let her. So I thought I would try to recreate that space in her room with things we already had. And she loves it!… Read More Making a bedroom a playroom
Luca and Adriano have been sharing a bedroom for almost a year now. When they shared a room as babies I thought I was going to lose my sleep-deprived mind, so we were quite nervous when it was time for baby Clara to move into her own room. To our surprise, this time is going much smoother now that… Read More Boys shared bedroom
My parents have little lines penciled all up and down the molding beside their pantry with coinciding names and dates. My mom started charting my brother’s height, (my short self had already stopped growing, darn it!) but soon there were lines for cousins and then friends and then even grown adults! When people come back to… Read More Easy DIY ruler growth chart
Clara’s room got a makeover! I added a playful stencil on the back wall and a dreamy white pom pom canopy, along with some other details. It changed the look completely. The nursery makeover happened how much of my decorating happens. I change one thing that leads to a domino affect of changes. One child (that will go… Read More Stenciled nursery with pom pom canopy
