Kinley’s Floral Farmhouse Nursery

Hi friends! I want to share with you the most special room in our home… Kinley’s nursery. When I found out we were having a girl, I knew the nursery theme would be floral farmhouse with touches of blush and gold.

The very first project that we took on for this room was installing a shiplap accent wall for behind the crib. So with the help of my husband’s uncle, we were able to knock out this project in one day. We ended up painting the shiplap to match the trim color which is Benjamin Moore White Dove and the rest of the room is a light greige color, Benjamin Moore Revere Pewter. Since the walls are very neutral, I knew all the pops of color would come from the decor.

Next up, we selected this crib in the color, Cloud. Since then, the color has been discontinued in this specific style, but I’ve found one that’s very similar here in Cloud. We loved how this convertible crib will accommodate our growing girl. It converts to a toddler bed, day bed and full-size bed.

Home Tour: Farmhouse Master Suite

When my husband and I thought about building our first home together, we knew creating a relaxing farmhouse master suite would be an important aspect. We wanted to create a space that felt like a calming retreat away from the real world. We wanted it to be soft, yet sophisticated, and incorporate a few rustic elements elements to tie in the rest of our farmhouse decor. So come on in, I’d like to invite you on a grand tour of our farmhouse master suite.

Upon deciding that a one-story, ranch floor plan would be best for us, we also opted to have the master suite located on one side of the home, and then the additional bedrooms located on the other side. We felt like this would enable us to have some form of privacy down the road when we do start to have a family. Now, we may learn to hate this layout since it will require us to do a lot more walking back and forth later on. But then… YAY for getting those steps in!

The Bedroom

Walking into our bedroom, you first see our queen bed split between two large windows. I love how this lets in so much natural light. Our windows open up to our backyard which backs up to cornfields.

DIY Project: How to Chalk Paint a Mirror

About a month ago, my bestie, Morgan, moved into an apartment in Chicago. She wanted her new space to feel cozy and comfortable without having to spend a lot of money. She’s currently in grad school so keeping it cheap was a must! She expressed the need for a get-ready station in her bedroom since she shares one small bathroom with her roommate. We looked all over for a simple vanity that would fit the space. The ones we found were either too expensive or just not quite right. So instead, we decided to refinish some old furniture pieces that she already had using chalk paint.

We spruced up the small table by using Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Graphite with Annie Sloan Soft Wax in Clear over the top. For the technique we used, just check out this past blog post… Transforming a Garage Sale Find with Chalk Paint.

For the mirror, here’s what we did…

Supplies

Rust-Oleum Chalked Spray Paint – Linen White
ScotchBlue Painter’s Tape
Old newspapers
Sandpaper – 60 grit

Instructions

Start off with an old mirror you’re looking to transform. We used this old gaudy gold mirror pictured below or a wooden frame could work as well.

2. Brush the edges of the mirror off with a dust rag to insure you’re starting with a clean surface.

3. Use the painter’s tape to create a rectangle around the outer edge where the mirror meets the frame. Be sure to take your time and get as close to the edge of the frame as possible. This will insure a clean edge between the painted frame and the mirrored surface. You will be taping right on the mirror’s surface.

DIY Project: How to Build a Barnwood Headboard

I absolutely love long weekends. I just feel like you can be so much more productive while still leaving time for some fun and relaxation. This 4th of July weekend was no exception. Between concerts and pool parties, I still had the opportunity to take a trip to the Kane County Flea Market.

I brought along my bestie who was a flea market virgin. It’s safe to say she thoroughly enjoyed the experience, and we’ll definitely be heading back again soon. While at the flea market, we picked up some reclaimed barnwood from a local vendor for a big time DIY project. Her and I have been talking about taking on building a headboard for some time now. Originally we thought we wanted to use pallet wood, but when we saw the beautiful, gray-weathered barnwood, we knew that it would be just perfect.

Now, I must say, the thought of creating a headboard can be fairly intimidating just based on the sheer size of the project alone. But honestly, the form and design is fairly straightforward so this can be a very simple DIY as long as you have access to all the tools you need. So if you’re looking to give your bedroom a rustic refresh, this is for you!

Materials

Salvaged barn wood
160 grit sand paper discs
Wood Screws (we used 1.5 in., but this will depend on the thickness of your wood)
(2) 1 in. x 6 in. x 6 ft. Common Board
Minwax Polycrylic Protective Finish – clear satin
(4) 2″ bolts with 5/8 hex nut (optional)

Tools

Power drill
Orbital sander
Circular saw
Protective eyewear and mask

Instructions

First, you’ll want to determine the desired width of your headboard. I’ve listed the standard widths for each bed size here:

Twin 39 inches

Twin XL 39 inches

Full 54 inches

Full XL 54 inches

Queen 60 inches

King 76 inches

California King 72 inches

For my queen headboard, I decided to go with 62 inches wide leaving just an inch on each side. Luckily for me, the barnwood I got measured perfectly. If it’s too long, you’ll need to measure, mark and saw to your desired size.
