I got the girls shared bedroom done early so I thought I would share it with you today!! If you missed yesterdays blog post. I gifted new bunkbeds, bedding and all my design time to my friend to makeover this room for her daughters. You need to see the floral decal’s I put on the wall!
Below is the BEFORE photo of the room and my friend sent me a photo after I left yesterday of her girls playing dress-up and enjoying their new bedroom! See that photo below….

I am starting a room makeover that belongs to my friend, remember the Thrifted Home I shared on my blog in the summer? Well now I am taking on their girls room. Head to my post today to see the plan, what we are changing and why I am doing it HERE
PS- If you missed it we are making some changes to MY girls bedroom that I just shared on THIS blog post Saturday.
PSS- I shared a Friday Favorites too! You need to see the awning we added to our back door HERE! We LOVE how it turned out.

We took the crib out of Finn’s bedroom 😭 it was a little sad. Since Finn is probably our last baby. He has been sleeping in a big boy bed for about a month now and doing awesome. I think we as adults make things bigger than they really are. I shared his entire room today, new dresser, toys he loves, his bedtime routine and more.

My friend offered to take my kids for a couple hours to play in their backyard pool. It was really generous of her. I took advantage of the time and did mini project. Solved a pain-point for us. Where to hang the papers and photos my girls want to hang onto. And also a spot for their schedule.
I really just had a small idea of what I wanted to do and hoped it would work. Stopped at Home Depot and looked around for supplies that I could rig up a little system for their art. Sometimes that is how inspiration and ideas start. Looking and what tools you could use.
We have a mini wall behind their bedroom door and thought that would be the perfect spot. But it needed a little back-drop. Thankfully I had just enough leftover shiplap wallpaper to hang there. Like I literally had JUST enough. It was a little moment that I felt God’s love for me. I know some of you might roll your eyes and think….”really? It’s wallpaper”.
But it is more than that.
He knew it was important to me to finish this project to boost my confidence that I was doing what I was supposed to be doing in that moment. I often second guess myself and think I should just stop working and putting pressure on myself. But that moment as I doubting myself that day I had a confirmation I was doing ok.
I hope you find those moments to. Because they are there. He is aware of you. I have heard them called “God Winks” ❤️
Below is the BEFORE photo I didn’t show on my blog. See the after HERE!
Happy Friday! I shared a little about what we have been up to in Utah-we have about a week left. It has been fun, but we miss Kevin a lot. We ended up staying close to five weeks because Kevin will be traveling part of the time we are gone. So we figured we might as well stay. But next year if we do it again we will cut it down to three weeks. The kids love being around cousins but we need to be back as a family. Anyone do long vacations away??
I am going to go by our the home we lived here and share photos of it and what I have of the interior if you are interested in seeing it!
Also doing a makeover on my friends pantry that I am excited to show you and to actually start! I ordered some wallpaper and it just arrived. So that is coming next week too.
And tomorrow I will be back to share that famous cake recipe of my sisters!
Today I am sharing our Friday Favorites- and I was so impressed with the home decor from Nordstrom! It really has me itching for fall (a little).

We went to St.George Utah last weekend and stayed in my clients vacation home. I worked on a few projects for her. Fixed up two bedrooms- still really simple but bug changes go a long way! See both rooms HERE
