Superhero Room / / Updated!!

It's been over a year since I posted Bodie and Tatum's Superhero room and how my it usually goes with me, I have been wanting. . . and by wanting I mean, keep me up in the night - can't focus on anything - wanting to change "a few" things. 

 The first thing that HAD to be changed and that took the longest . . . 6 months to be exact . . . was the blue bunk bed. That is six months of the boys sleeping on the floor :/ The old school BLUE had to go though and the boys thought it was fun to sleep on the floor . . . they were that much closer to their toys. Aaaand instead of taking the easy way out which would have been to spray paint it . . . I stripped it. I knew my boys would scratch the bed up and spray paint wouldn't hold. I didn't want any blue creeping through soooo off it came.

// AFTER //

Ahhh, so refreshing.

 I must be crazy because as soon as I got rid of the blue bed, I get a blue night stand. Crazy? I don't know, I am pretty much in love with that little stand and was just waiting for it to go on sale at Target.

Why is there a green and gold necklace in my boys room you ask? Well, I told my boys it was kryptonite and they think it is the coolest thing ever.

Another thing I was not loving was the Superhero Print I made for their room. I update that a bit and put it in a white frame instead of black.

 I found the fun telephone booth at Hobby Lobby and filled it with the "Super Power Game" I made for Design Dazzle's Summer Boredom Buster Series.

My wonderfully talented mother-in-law made the Superhero capes . . . sad to say, one of them is not mine and now my sister knows where her sons Superman cape went;) 

When my Mom comes to visit, we always go to the antique stores around town. We found these Superhero signs on our last outing. 

The red curtains were also swapped out for these green and white striped beauties. They make the room feel so much more open, bright and happy:)

Oh, hi little Lincoln. . . this future hero kept sneaking into the picture. He thinks he is pretty awesome now that he can almost climb the ladder . . . I am in trouble. I am not ready for THREE superheroes in this room.

The comic style pics of my boys and their Superhero bins are the only thing that I didn't change. If you missed the tutorial for the bins, you can find that HERE.

My husband spent a month in Moscow on a rotation and brought back Batman Matryoshka dolls for the boys. Robin, Ice Man, the Penguin and the Joker are inside. Love them!

I am now making a vow to not change ANYTHING in this room until residency is over . . . 2 and a half more years. I might need to go to a support group to make it that long;)

MyColor Project - Transforming Furniture

Hi everyone!
I wanted to share a new post up on the MyColor Project Blog- and a few pieces of furniture that paint has once again transformed. I picked up a desk at the thrift store, and a little stepstool at an estate sale. The final "after" gives me warm fuzzies... go check it out here! Scroll down a little bit to the yucky old red desk. (you won't miss it!)

Visiting Teaching Valentine's Cards // Free Printable

Although, I LOVE every word of February's Visiting Teaching message, I couldn't let this month slip by without giving my VT ladies a Valentine. I made these for our Relief Society activity this month, which is a LOVE THE SISTERS night. We will be delivering cookies to those in need of comfort, love and company. I think it is safe to say, ALL of us gals are in need of that ;)

My son told me the jar looked like a Nephite  . . .well, I guess that goes with the theme??? 

There are 6 tags per page and I recommend printing it on matte or semi-gloss white card stock for best results!

I hope you will still read the message and share it with your sisters this month. I KNOW that we as sisters are vital to establishing friendships and making newly converted or newly activated sisters feel AT HOME in the church.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Valentine Mantel Decor

Months without holidays are like cookies without milk . . . They are good but a hundred times better with both:) I don't know how to decorate my mantel without a holiday.

Pink is one of my very favorite colors so I love decorating for Valentine's >> and when there are 4 boys in the house, I have to take the opportunity to decorate with pink while I can. There isn't nearly enough pink here but I am sure there will be before Valentine's. 

 I am obsessed with these triangle felt garlands or any shape felt garland for that matter. They are cheap and simple to make. 

 My love themed mantel had to have pictures of the things I love most >>> my 3 little men, my main man and my Savior. 

I am curious if you guys keep your Valentine decor up all month or take it down after the 14th?? I am usually ready to get out the green goods because those don't get to stay out too long either;) 

Thanks for stopping by!

All Valentine tags in my shop are buy one get one half off with the code VALENTINE until Valentine's Day!

New Years Resolutions Printable 2013

I know in blog world, I am a month late for this and you are on to Valentine's Day BUT I had a friend ask me to make it and wanted to share it for those of us that haven't set their new years resolutions . . . or are possibly doing it for family night tonight! 

And since I am not quite ready to give up the holidays yet, I have to post my favorite pics of the season. As it usually goes, they were taken on a whim when my 4 year old asked me to take his picture and started posing. Love these boys. . .
