Home Improvement Projects

During the Christmas break I was able to do a few home improvement projects that I want to share with you.

First, I knew that I wanted to make the living room more comfortable and applicable to my kids, so I added a book shelf for their books and a table for their puzzles and coloring.

The second was a headboard that I made. My sister Joanie and her husband came to visit just last week and I was very eager to make a few improvements to the guest bedroom. The first of these improvements was a headboard for the queen bed. It really does make a room look more polished when there is a headboard. I documented the process. I got this idea from the book I reviewed last post, Young House Love.

We have had a kid table for a long time that had Lalaloosey theme. I didn’t love that so I finally got to re-upholstering the top and chairs. Super easy with a staple gun and some plastic covered fabric.

Cody built me some shelves for the living room for the kid books. We have kept the kid books in the basement and I wanted them more accessible. The girls read more now that they are upstairs and they can see the covers!

Cody made me a frame the size I needed for the bed.
