A Little Fall in the Mud Room

FALL is here.

I have been very busy with all the homework.

Helping the kids.

And

Doing my own!

I am not always the best with time management.

And

For me, creative does not equal organization.

So far from it!

However, I did manage to pack away most of my summer decor.

I only have just started decorating for Fall.

It is kind of squeezed in for a week or so before,

HALLOWEEN!!!

I swapped out the footstool for a small slipcovered chair.

I still need some artwork or plates on the wall.

I have not found any yet.

The hunt is the best part.

Now that the kids are back to school,

 I have more free time to go antiquing.

I like how the blue looks with the orange.

New pillow and table cloth are from TJMaxx.

I am debating whether to use the table cloth as a throw or

slipcover the little footstool that was in this room previously.

A pretty plate also from TJMaxx.

Any you, have you finished decorating for Fall?

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful week.

A Room of His Own

My youngest son will soon have a room of his own.

When we finish our new master bed room he will be getting our old room.

He keeps asking when.

Soon.

Will I get your bed?

No.

Will I get your tv?

No.

I have been asking him what his favorite colors are and what he would like in his new room.

Orange.

Not the whole wall of course.
Maybe some horizontal stripes or one wall of vertical stripes.
He also likes blue, so I will do some smaller stripes of that color.

I would also like to try gray along with the orange.
I think it is a color he could grow into and not hate it in a couple of years.

I would love to make him a cool bed for this new room.

Seeing as we STILL have NOT built the tree house, this might be a temporary compromise.
He is young enough to really appreciate it for many years.

This bedding would be great to start off with.

Some wall art.
I love the canvas pictures.

I have two vintage scooters that once were hanging in his room when he was a baby.
Now they are just waiting to be hung back up.

He will have his OWN closet.

He will have his OWN cabinet for toys.
His OWN desk.
His Own bookcase.

I have a funny feeling he is going to leave his new room as a play room and sleep in his brother's room.

I'm ok with that too.

At least he will have a place to go that is his OWN.
