So what it’s supposed to be is a couple of thick, chunky shelves, with a collection of cake plates, a ginger jar, a bowl of fluffy hydrangeas, and a little picture.

I had it in my mind that I was going to really go all out and buy all kinds of trendy decor for this shelf to make it look really amazing.In the end though, I decided it was already pretty amazing, so as far as decor goes, I kept it pretty simple..

I used the same paint colors that I used elsewhere in the room (CIL Zeppelin, and Shoreline) in repetition in a few different areas of the desk and that really helped create a nice pulled-together look.I wrote a post about.creating absolutely perfect wall stripes.

too if you’re interested in that.. Other than that, I just borrowed some homeless decor items from around the house and used a few zebra-themed things we’ve picked up over the last year since Kennedy’s zebra phase started.. And of course, legos..If you’ve got an awkwardly-shaped kid’s room, or just a room that feels endlessly messy, I’d highly recommend filling a wall or two with built-in shelves and even a desk!

They hardly take up any floor space, but they make.

If you feel like a project of this scale might be a little outside of your comfort level, you can start with a smaller project.Chris poked in this random hummingbird garden ornament that he found in the garage and that just added to the sad-looking mess.

We decided to tackle the garden a couple of weeks ago.We don’t have a lot (or any) time for upkeep throughout the Summer this year so our plan was to:.

a) Fill up as much space with plants as possible to help smother the weeds.. and.b) Work towards creating a garden that’s full enough with plants that the weeds that do come through aren’t very noticeable at all.. A garden like that takes a lot of years to build up, but we were able to lay the ground work for what this garden will be in the future in just one afternoon..
