Kids Bathroom Makeover

Hey guys I hope you are all having a great Monday, I wanted to take the time today and share with you a makeover that had started the whole house makeover. I was inspired my Jenna Sue Design for this bathroom makeover over. We did this makeover about 2yrs ago and I wasn't blogging at the time of the makeover but I'm back on here and want to share with you what we did. I'm loving how this bathroom has transformed into something so beautiful. This is my favorite room of the house. Enough of me talking lets get into the makeover of the kids bathroom.

Words of Wisdom

Good Morning, I hope you are having a great morning. God has put this verse today on my heart. Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart.

God tells us to ask him the desires of our heart and he will give it to us, but of course it will not happen right then, its in God's timing. Sometimes its hard to wait for what God really is going to give us, so we need to be still when we ask for our desires of our heart in God's timing or will for that desire it will happen. When it is giving to us we need to give him all of the glory and praise. 

1 

Do not fret because of those who are evil

    or be envious of those who do wrong;

2 

for like the grass they will soon wither,

    like green plants they will soon die away.

3 

Trust in the Lord and do good;

    dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.

4 

Take delight in the Lord,

    and he will give you the desires of your heart.

5 

Commit your way to the Lord;

    trust in him and he will do this:

6 

He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn,

    your vindication like the noonday sun.

7 

Be still before the Lord

    and wait patiently for him;

do not fret when people succeed in their ways,

    when they carry out their wicked schemes.

Do you have a desire in your heart today, just go and ask God for what it may be and watch him do his work in your life. Hope you are have a great Sunday! 

DIY wood shelf and updates on back patio

My husband has been bringing some scrap wood home from work and when its FREE why not. We use it to burn in our chimnea and also our bigger firepit in the backyard. So with all of this wood we need a place to store it. So I decided to make us a shelf to organize all of the wood, paper and small pieces of wood to get the fire started. Here are the pieces of wood I used:

I cut all of my wood and started putting it together to form a box as you see here:

(I had no plans to go off I just custom built it to my area where I wanted it)

I cut three of these the same size (I'm only showing two here cause I started attaching the shelf to the side pieces

My shelf was 4ft tall that was the highest of the scrap wood I had so I knew that would work perfect.

I just screwed the sides to the bottom part of the shelf as you see here:

and here, it was easier than I thought it would be and it fits perfect in the area on our back patio

Here's where I started with before:

Now with the new shelf, I just love this area now more functional and I put some extra blankets up on top so we can get more cozy up around the fire.

I did some more updates on the patio, this is a before of what I had:

After: I had a bookcase in the garage that was using it for storage so I thought I would bring it out and make it useful. I had to make a curtain a little bit longer but that was no big deal.

I got my coffee cups/mug holder out and need to go to the thriftstore to look for a coffee maker to keep outside. Also I have some fun plans I will be sharing for the third shelf. I'm so excited to share soon.

Heres a before picture of us starting to collect our wood

After:

 I had a second bookcase in the garage that was just for storage and I needed more room for the wood and it fits perfect in this corner. I hung my sign above it that is from Hobby Lobby. It looks much better. 

I still have some more progress for the back patio but its coming together greatly! 

I need to finish painting the concrete as you see in the above picture

Gonna build a new table

replace the 4x4 posts 

get a privacy fence

patio curtains

chandlier from our dining (replacing our dining room with a new one)

and chairs

and I'm sure my list will keep going on. Hopefully that will be all to finish our patio up. I'm so excited I decided to do our back patio, cause we really have been getting alot of use of the area now but we will be using it way more now than before. 

Hope you are having a great evening and thanks as always for stopping by my blog.
