We recently started round two decluttering each room in our house. Today we are in my youngest’s room finding solutions to the clutter we are still dealing with. We also took the opportunity to make over his room by repainting some old furniture and trying a new style of accent wall. I hope you enjoy this video as much as I did making it. If you do I would love for you to subscribe to our channel and continue with us on our decluttering journey.

Adorable! I think the green of the dresser would be a logical choice, but I personally would pick up the reddish-orange that is on the back of the dinosaur pillow and paint the zoo that color. It would tie in nicely with the little pops of that color that are throughout the room. (Under dragon blanket too, etc) Great job, way more play space and your son seems so happy. Love how your other kiddos got to filming when needed. They are learning great production skills.

ok. I was at a friends house recently- my girlfriend, her husband and 2 kids all attended the same High School. All 4 of them had lettermen jackets. She incorporated those jackets into a space in a family room- as decorations. Yes she hung them all on a wall below a shelf filled with high school pictures and memorabilia. It looks awesome. Just saying...Wish I had pictures to show you.

My first thought was bright red for the zoo (like the writing on the sign and because you'll probably use the dinosaur bedding again with that colour in it) but the safe way to go would be using the same stain as the dresser project.

@@LeafLikeOnATree my son built a zoo for my grandson and granddaughter. He used natural wood and silver metallic elastic then stapled some artificial greenery to drape over the sides here and there. As a final touch he personalized it with a hand painted piece that had their names and the word zoo across the top front edge. It's an awesome piece! I never thought of doing anything like it for my family. Wish I had that kind of creativity. I am sure that your children truly appreciate you!

Hello! Here from the Erica Lucas colab and also went from this to your first declutter of your little one's room - and it's interesting to watch this again with that video fresh in my mind. There are the dresses in the cupboard you mentioned - the boxes of grow-into clothes you already spent time sorting and put in a helpful note for future self - the build up from the decluttering and organising to the creative part of the whole process - thank you for sharing. Zoo could be that lovely blue colour with a few bright white hints, maybe? Also, perhaps some silver stars and a moon in the top of the arch over the bed - those ones which shine in the dark? Though, whole room is perfect just the way it is 😊

Honestly, I wish my Dad did have his letterman jacket. Unfortunately, my father got in trouble and the high school staff took it away. 🤷‍♀️ Back in the day the school would pay for it. My siblings and I all went to the same high school and the letterman jackets have evolved since my father's time. We were all crushed to learn what had happened to the jacket. It would of been cool 😎 to have it as a memorabilia in our family. Therefore, I say keep it!

@missmustache4207 3 жыл бұрын

It came out sooo good! I think you should paint it a blue green between the 2 paint colors (dresser and wall) . The girls are gonna want theirs done too. I liked the cringe and yes, it did look like your head was on fire 🔥 😆 Great Steven art project. Blurring his crack 😆. In the beginning of the summer i had low waisted pants and needed to garden. I was refusing to buy new pants cause I gained quarantine weight. I could of used your blur technology for my neighbors sake. I eventually used an apron folded backwards wrapped around my waist. Got high waisted jeans, man are they nice to keep the stomach in 😆tmi I bit the bullet and got a new vaccum and man do I love it! Got some much pet hair up. Now I just got to do a deeper purge of my craft room. I’m doing a great job at avoiding it.
