3 Kids in one room!

3 Kids in one room!  My friend had twin boys and then 10 months later had a baby girl.  They all had to be in the same room so it was hard finding something that would go good together.  
 We made all the bedding except the bumpers.  The bumpers and bed skirts were all the same.  Each child got a color.  Max got green so we did his sheet in that color.


Audrey got turquoise so we did her sheet in that color.

 And Owen got Orange.  The throw blankets were reversible.  She had her baby girl early so we came over and sewed our hearts out while her twin boys were staying with family.  


Baby Boys Green Room

This is my friends little guys room who isn't so little anymore.  She already had the green walls so we decided to work with them.  We got the gray curtains from Ikea and then added material at the bottom from JoAnn's fabric.

 The wall board is for her to add pictures of her little guy.  It was a half wood door we got for $5.  We painted it and added scrapbook paper.

 The picture was from Ikea.  So were the round place mats. 


 We made all the bedding.  All of the material was from JoAnn's fabric.


Aimee's Office

This is my sisters office.  It had 70's style wall paper before we painted it. She is a marriage and family therapist. www.LifesSolutionsCounseling.com I helped her find the wall hanging.  We got it at Down East.  I had to hang out the back of her car holding it so it wouldn't fall out while we drove to Ikea to get the shelves.  I would do anything for a great deal! The shelves turned a small space into a very functional office.




Baby Girl's Room

The before picture.  She had 3 boys and was having her first girl!

After
More of the canvas from Tai Pan we covered with material.
I painted the end table, dresser, and chair white.  I recovered the chair.
I got these flowers at Hobby Lobby.  I put a wall paper on the wall with boards in between.  I love having a texture on the wall.

The light we got from Lowe's
The frames were from Hobby Lobby
The clock was also from Hobby Lobby.

I made a tutu bed skirt.  All the bedding I made with material from Hobby Lobby.
I found the material I liked a long time ago.  I had gotten samples for it and showed her.  She loved it and when I went to pick it up they were out of it.  Turns out they weren't getting any more.  She got some from a different state and I had my sister get some for me in Colorado.  We had just enough!

Baby Boy's Room

Getting started.  It was a plain room with tan walls and nothing in it.

We decided we didn't like the peach color so we ended up painting them brown.  The best part about putting boards up is you don't have to paint perfect lines!  

Filling the lines and holes.  Almost done!  

The chevron frames we painted over these hideous pictures.  They were from Tai Pan Trading for $2 a piece.  We took all of them they had.  No wonder they were so cheap!  They were so ugly!!
The curtains were from Hancock fabrics.  The frames were from Roberts Arts and Crafts which is now out of business but they have smaller ones kind of like these at Ikea.

The dresser we got for $50 on KSL and painted it.    

The crib used to be a natural color.  We painted it to match the material and wall.  We made the bumper our of solid fleece material.

 Finished!

Chiropractors Office

The Office Before.  He didn't have curtains before so we put them up already but they needed hemmed in this picture. The color is a little off in this picture
Taking down the wall paper.  It took FOREVER!  Wallpaper should be banned!! 
  
We got him a new desk that had more space for his thing instead of the two old desks.  We got a great deal on it off of KSL.  They had gotten it from RCWilley.  His office has more room to work around now.  We painted the walls a light green.
His company is called Loan Star Chiropractic so he has to have his stars.  And a place for people to sit and wait.
   
We moved all of his awards, diplomas, and medical charts on the same wall.  It felt much more organized.
We didn't spend much money in this room except for the desk.  Most of it was taking the ugly wall paper off and painting.  Then organizing things on the walls.

Kaylynn's Room

Before
This was Kaylynn's room before. The headboard Lori and I stole out of a Down East dumpster. It was lots of fun! It had a big gash in the back but you can't see it. I sold it on KSL for $50!

These are the after pictures. We did an orange sherbet on the wall. It is kind of hard to tell what color it is. The headboard we got from a Downeast clearance store. I got some soft fuzzy material at 75% off from Hancock Fabrics to recover it. The curtains were made out of $1 material from Wal-mart tied back with ribbon. The quilt was from The Quilt Shop in Gardner Village. I had a $25 off coupon and then they gave me $25 off because I filled all the punches for a punch card and then $25 more off for a little stain on it and it was on sale. It was a great deal. Her bedroom furniture I got on KSL for $50. I got the chandelier for $15 and painted it white. I decorated the lamp shades with some fringe/tassel stuff from Hobby Lobby.
These decorative balls are made out of flowers and were from Wal-Mart. I got some craft paint and painted them in colors that matched her room.

Lori and I made these out of bead board. I love thinking of new ways to display pictures of my kids. You can never have enough pictures!
The quilt shop also gave me the girl statue for free for buying a quilt that day. I made the little skirt on her. Kaylynn keeps asking me when I am going to make her a head.
On the nightstands I tried to use things we already had. The lamps I got at Wal-Mart. I decided I was going to return them. When I did the lady said because I had my receipt I could get my full refund, but that they were on clearance for $2 a piece. I returned them for full price and bought them for $2. The jewelry box I got for a dollar from a garage sale. It had ugly material in it so I took that out and put in paper that matched the room. I painted the baskets pink to match. I love painting things.
This window Lori got from a lady moving out of the country. She had tons of old windows from a museum in down town Salt Lake. You can't really see in the picture but the glass has cut flowers in it. It's awesome!
The lantern was a garage sale find for $1.
