ITS DONE! What a relief it is to type those words. Upon completion of each room in our home, my heart feels overwhelmingly grateful and exponentially fuller. All of the long nights, hard labor, and countless decisions pay off when we see a room come together. There truly isn’t a better feeling. This is the first room we have painted just ourselves. Every other room that we have tackled, our family members have been there to help out, so this was a fun one for Grant and I to tackle together. Do you want to hear the details of the room? Lets get to it!
To start off, let’s take a moment and appreciate the before. Not included: Musty smells, lots of spiders…and an endless amount of dust.
Where to start with a complete room renovation? I always start with the room color! We chose the wall color from Sherwin Williams, we love their paint. It’s the absolute best. The color we chose is called Mountain Road. Its a hunter green, with a bit of gray..hard to describe, but it was my favorite moody green…and I tested over ten colors!
We made a last minute decision to add a beadboard wall because this room needed some texture. There is a LOT of wall space and vaulted ceilings, so adding beadboard was the perfect choice because it cozied the room up a bit, and made it feel smaller, which is exactly what we were going for. We chose to use pine from Lowe’s. HOWEVER, we made the rookie mistake of not letting it cure. Typically, you want to let wood cure in your house for 7-10 days, so that it gets used to the environment and can expand or contract, before it goes up onto the walls….we didn’t do this and luckily we ended up only having to repaint the portions that the wood contracted in, once it was up on the walls.
Next came the carpet! We chose the color Dreamland by Phenix. We love that it added some more texture to the space, it’s the perfect carpet for a children’s bedroom!
And alas the final pictures of the space, hope you enjoy!

I love that Sadie can utilize this to store all of her nature finds! The stones, the sticks, the pinecones…you know what I am talking about…all of those precious, “here mommy!” items. I read a blogpost by Rose Uncharted and she really inspired me to cultivate a child’s love for nature. So, by creating a space to keep their “nature finds” we did just that.
