I am so excited to be entering in Mandi's EPIC Room Makeover! I absolutely LOVE her style and I desperately need her help!
Ahhh, where do I start! If we rewind the tape you can remember that on August 1st we closed on this beautiful house and everything was perfect!
Well almost! I think my husband thought that we were going to be able just to move in, get settled and organized and life would be good. However, thanks to Mandi's blog with all of her EPIC ideas there is no way I can just move into someone elses house and call it our home. There are things to be done people! Behind this beautiful brick are bare brown walls, popcorn ceilings, and no Mandilicousness!! We need a makeover and when Mandi posted this contest it was a sign! But what one room needs the makeover the most? After much discussion with my husband we decided we need a lot help with my son's room. Here is why..
Bennett is 3 and easily one of the coolest and cutest most handsome kids around!
Problem is his room is boring and lacks the creativity he needs at 3 years old. Also not to mention he finds it SO boring he wants to sleep in our room! All of the time! Not cool!! But can I blame him?! The room consists of a toddler bed which he has outgrown with blue walls and a dresser. Too boot there is a ugly ceiling fan/light fixture combo with popcorn ceilings.
The toys are pathetically scattered on the ground with no home of their own, unless the closet floor counts?!?
Other reasons why we think we should win this contest:
1. Who wouldn't want to come to MN in October??? Ok, so maybe that is not the biggest seller.
2. 1. We are hosting Thanksgiving this year and have many guests coming in from out of town. Even though this house would seem like it has more than 3 bedrooms it does not. The previous owners finished the basement, but did not build out an extra room. Since my sister-in-law is having a new baby in October, I would love nothing more than to provide a bedroom for her and her family to stay. I would hate to put her in a room with a little toddler bed and nothing to look at while she is up at 2 AM feeding the babe...
2. We need power tools and a few proper lessons so we can finish the rest of the projects around the house. Look at this poor set-up we have to install our board and batten. The tailgate of our car + hand saw + "miter" box does NOT = great miter cuts! :( But don't act like you are not impressed!
3. I could pick Mandi and Hailee's brain for other creative ideas and roadblocks that this new house presents us. Like these odd tile shelves?? What?!?!?
Or what to do with textured bathroom walls (not to mention the missing a mirror and burnt out light bulb)...
Please Mandi we really need your help to make our son's room a fun and creative place for him to be (and sleep)! He even said himself that he wanted his room to be more Mandilicious!
Liv!! It would be AWESOME to come and help you change up your cute sons bedroom!! You are so sweet! Thank you for entering and good luck!!
