So this is officially my new favorite ornament trick.
I don’t really know why it works, but it does!🙂 Try this one out for yourself!OK, I think I’m ready.
After months and months of hard-ish work, I’m ready to show you the final big-deal before-and-after of Kennedy’s new room..I couldn’t jump into that without first dedicating a post to my favorite part of the room.I just couldn’t.
You understand..The hardest thing about creating a nice room for your kids has got to be dealing with all of that STUFF.
Clothes, toys, papers, pens, doodads, thingamajigs.
It can make even the fanciest room look like a shack in about 3 seconds flat.Changing out the railings from that tired-looking old lattice really made a big difference.. You could easily do the same thing with any deck by taking it apart and re-shaping it, or even just moving and re-sizing some stairs and railings.
It’s amazing what a difference you can make with a few basic DIY skills and a little creativity!.We really wanted a comfortable to spot to sit out on the deck, but we also wanted to be able to walk without interruption from the back door to the stairs.
There was really no good place to put the BBQ, so we came up with a pretty fun solution.. We made this little BBQ nook off the side of the eating area so it’s like the cooking station is kind of built in to the “wall” of the deck and we can easily cook and put food right on the table without having to travel far at all.. Just that tiny little deck extension really opened up the whole deck and made it feel so much bigger!By the way, Chris insisted that I at least pull that giant weed under the deck for this picture.
