Home Sweet Home…
Some like it HOT… and apparently that includes the residents of The Bold Abode.
Because this room is smokin…
Now you might think that in a home of boys, this would be a big no-no, right? Well, let me tell you something.
Morgan suggested I paint this room pink.
Yes. He did…
Come on in and let me show you ‘round!
I didn’t realize how much I had done in this room until I started organizing it…
Clutter has a way of burying the good…
Like this two-sided desk we use for our educations endeavors…
Oh, how I wish I had a before of this treasure.
But that bad boy above was before I ever knew that DIY blogs were in existence. Blurg.
But these little babies…
They were among the first of the crazy-pants posts I wrote…
Oh, and this desk on the wall? It was a flagship post as well…
And let me say… All the time I spent sawing off desk legs with a hand saw?
Totally worth it.
{But now I have a Black & Decker JS660 Jig Saw with Smart Select Dial and a 
Below is a sofa table given to me by my friend, Donna. It needs a little more help, methinks…
Like some new pulls….and some paint over that stained edge…yuck.
I did try, though. I really did.
At 2:00 you’ll see some gallery shelves that I made.
I hated the way the colors of some of the books looked against the pink wall, so I never really shared them.
Still hate it. Just don’t care anymore… Oh, how I’ve grown.
Closet.
Stuff… lots of it.
The added shelves were tots worth it. I need 10 more.
I’d like to interject before moving on to page 2 and my giant W, that Tommy, our music teacher, told me upon his first visit to our home, that it looked like it should be in a Dr. Suess book… Now there’s someone that gets me.
On the back wall, is my sewing/junk cabinet.
It, too, a before The Bold Abode up-do…
And what would our Home Sweet Home be like without a Giant W from Joann’s.. I was shockered that it was only around 10 bucks.
Gotta have a giant W…
And this Office/Sewing/Craft room doubles as a school room, so I kept the Eric Carle Animal Flash Cards…
And so does this art…
We do loads of art projects… NOT.
I have boys.
Boys that do not like to color.
But I love photographing crayons. Aren’t they so pretty?
Here is the ugly side.
Not the cute little sign that Tina gave me… but the ugly whiteboard and disgusto brown bookshelf.
Those need help. And help is a’comin’… someday.
Yes. I still hide stuff behind doors…
And in cabinets…
But I’m working on it. Is there a Shove Stuff in Cabinets Anonymous Group?
But all in all…
And we do our best not to get heat-stroke…
Plans for this room in my Home Sweet Home? Yes, baby.
I’m dreaming thinking make pooling curtains, rip out the carpet, find a cool rug, put in a new light and install 2/3 White Board and Batten in this room.
Then maybe, I won’t need shades to teach.
