House to Home: Laundry Room Makeover

..So it begins.

Now that the air conditioning is fixed in the house I can start setting my focus on starting some of the smaller projects around here and there are many. I know I said I would do a video tour but somewhere in the boxes that my husband moved to the basement lies the battery charger to my camera…and my camera is dead.

I want to start with something that I can tackle on my own to prove to my husband that if I take my time I can handle some of the smaller projects around here. I have been known to start projects and not finish them, so this is my redemption project to show him that I can paint within the lines and take an idea from conception to completion without his help. Y’all pray I don’t have to ask for his help!

I am giving myself two months at the most and under $200 to make this transformation. Here are the before photos.

Randoms…Moving Edition

Happy Friday!

I’ve been MIA for good reason. We finally closed on our new house, packed up our old house, moved and closed on our old house. So much testimony service in those processes that I will be back to tell the stories in depth. However, for now that’s all I have for you.

Moving

Out of the gate we have some major superficial issues with the house. The house got a gleaming rating during its inspection, so I’m keeping my sanity holding on to that. The issues we are facing are interior… I know.

Painting with Disney and Glidden Part III

Disclaimer: Compensation and products for review were provided by Glidden via MomTrends.  The opinions expressed herein are those of the author and are not indicative of the opinions of Glidden. You already know.

This is the finale that you have been waiting for and to be honest it is less than stellar due to the fact that we are likely to be moving very soon.

As mentioned in Part I and Part II we set about to make a few changes to Addison’s room utilizing Disney’s new line of paint with Glidden. Not knowing when our time to move will come the majority of her room has been packed up, however I still managed to get the paint on the walls and finish up the glow in the dark stencil design.

We had a nice get together with a few of her friends from the neighborhood to show off the changes but they were more enamored with the toys and snacks seeing that it is virtually impossible to see the design on the wall unless it is dark in the room. We have one of those circular windows above the regular window that doesn’t have a shade so even with the curtain closed it still wasn’t dark enough to reveal the design. I tried my best to point it out to to them but the girls were more enamored with the fairies on the bedspread and well the little gentleman was more into the toys. So I didn’t push it, I let them snack and play. Fortunate for them one of their moms won a gift card to Walmart, hopefully they got something out of the deal.

After my last mishap with the stencil, I was careful to take my time this go round and carefully dab the paint onto the stencil and unfortunately I was not able to capture a great picture of it to show off my handiwork but I will say I was very proud of the outcome. This is the absolute best picture I could capture and I had to use my tripod to capture this.

I promise the outcome is much better than this in real life. Upon my initial completion of the design Addison was afraid of the design and then she slowly came around when I told her it was a princess crown. Needless to say she still refuses to sleep in there alone *sigh*

Overall I was thoroughly impressed with the line of paint, especially the coverage.  I have already had to wipe stains off of the wall and they came off with no problem. With no scent and low VOC’s this brand is a no brainer if you are looking to upgrade your child’s room. You aren’t left to the design process by your lonesome, there are awesome resources available to help you come up with and execute a master plan when it comes to redesigning your child’s room.

My project is on the low end of the totem pole when compared to what some of the other moms did. Make sure to check out the Disney Paint Mom Pinterest Board and Facebook page to see the other projects.
