Star Wars Shelf and Hyperspace Wall

My 5 year old son has been begging me to paint his bedroom walls, apparently he is tired of the boring beige color.  He wants a Star Wars room!  I’m not sure why he’s such a big Star Wars fan, but he is…that and Lego’s.  We are working on making an awesome bedroom for him.  While gathering some inspiration on Pinterest, I really liked the room colors and stars at the top of the walls from this room.   I also thought it would be fun to have a focal wall that looks like it’s in hyperspace.  So I painted one wall, ceiling and 1 foot down on the other three walls dark blue, the rest of the walls sky blue.

Everyone knows that you can’t go through hyperspace without being in a fighter ship, right!  I designed a large Star Wars Fighter Shelf to be the center of the hyperspace wall.  The Star Wars fighter ‘window’ should be round, but that’s too much of a pain…I opted for a hexagon with nice straight edges.

Rustic Mr and Mrs Blocks

My cousin is getting married soon, and they are having a country/rustic themed wedding.  I have worked with him off and on at the farm over the years.  He even helped me take down Remo’s Barn.  Remo's old barn I’ve seen those cute cursive wood signs on etsy and I thought it would be fun to cut out a set of super chunky Mr & Mrs for him and his fiance.  I’m sure she’ll like them more than he will 🙂  However the wood is from Remo’s Barn, so it does have a little sentimental value.   Continue reading

Crate Storage Coffee Table and Stools

Hi!  I’d love to for you to follow me on Pinterest Her Tool Belt  and if you love instagram, you can keep up with me there too!

We have an open floor plan, so the family room, kitchen and dining areas are all one large room and it’s the first thing that you see when you walk into the house.  Our family spends most of our time in the family room. With young kids, keeping the house presentable is sometimes always a challenge 🙂  We are always looking for great ways to organize the kid’s stuff (and ours).

I am beyond excited to team up with Ryobi Nation to Get Organized.  Just what I need!

Winter Luminaries

I know what you’re thinking, ugh another mason jar project.  Yep, it is.  These are quick and easy winter luminaries, I used them on my Winter Wonderland Tablescape that my Mom has been enjoying at her house.  The mix of frosted glass and flocked snow give off a nice glow.

Frosted and flocked pine trees make these easy winter themed luminaries have a beautiful glow.

I used 3 different jar sizes for the tablescape: 2 quart, 1 quart and pint.  Although you can make them with any size jar that you want.
