I'm very excited to update you on the highly anticipated next phase of my sons room makeover! When I originally designed this build I only planned for the bed, the reading nook underneath and the second story. This room has really tall, vaulted ceilings so, as I continued the building process, I decided to add an additional story to the build so that the whole space was utilized. The ceiling has different heights so it couldn't go around the entire build, instead, my goal for this space is for it to be more of a small "look out" space. I'll show you how I built the platform and the ladder leading up to it. Let's get started!

Today we're connecting the two sections with a bridge and safety railing. My original plan was to install the railing all the way across, but after creating the bridge and watching my son's joy of jumping off, I decided to change things up and cut the railing in half so there is an intentional section my kids can jump off of safely. This whole project has been so challenging as I adjust things and change up plans, but also SO fun as I learn new techniques, use my creativity and watch my children enjoy it.

We're back at it again with another resin project, this time a table for my mom. In all honesty, this project was hard, it stretched and tested me a lot, but in the end we got it done and I'm overall happy with it. It started off with a wrought iron table my mom bought off Facebook marketplace and some polish pottery pieces she wanted to be used. I already had the supplies and had done resin and pottery pieces before, so I was confident we could make this work.

In case you've missed it, I'm turning my son's room, which is on the third floor of our house, into the ultimate playroom and bedroom space. The room has vaulted ceilings so it was the perfect space to really go big. Today we're wrapping up the section of the room that we've been working on the last few weeks: the reading nook and slide.

 I'm back again with another small project in my son's room before we reveal another section of the room. We did a slide last week and we're tackling some bookshelves this week. It's a pretty simple project, but I wanted a complete tutorial that anyone could access to make their own. I recycled some wood from the guest bedroom headboard for this project and made a plan for a set of shelves that have a bar in front so we can fit big and small books on the shelf without them falling off.

 I'm still hard at work on my son’s room makeover. Today’s task is building a melamine and wood slide. I couldn't find any tutorials that were exactly what I wanted so I took pieces of different ideas and started dreaming up what I wanted from scratch. Being able to get creative with planning and giving myself the challenge is one of my favorite things to do! You've probably seen a fair amount of slides people are adding to their playrooms. They are getting pretty popular but the plastic slides are SO expensive. I did a little digging and found a couple of people who had made wood and melamine slides but they didn't give a step by step tutorial. So, once I figured it out for myself, I knew I wanted to share it so you can make one, too!
