Last fall, Jack’s nursery got a makeover into a transporation themed big kid room and I may have teared up a little. He’s our last baby and this transition was bittersweet.

I never got around to doing a blog post on his big kid bedroom and thought it was time. Jack loves tractors, dump trucks, trains, trucks, race cars…basically anything with wheels. I wanted to incorporate a transportation theme that didn’t look busy or scream CARS.

Ever since Jack got his room makeover, our girls have been asking for one, too. Ava is almost 8 and Livy is almost 6 years old. Their room is simple and sweet and was a great starting point (tour more of their room here). But there’s one thing, it’s lacking personality. They would love to have color on the walls and some artwork to express their interests and passions.

I don’t have an actual home office or dedicated workspace. I’ve been working out of our dining room, living room, kitchen, bedroom – wherever I can find space that day. Does this sound like you? With managing our rental business, creating digital marketing and my blog, I’ll admit this is a difficult way to work. Not to mention very disorganized.

We have plans to turn our old uninsulated back entry into my office someday.

Our girls like to say that every room in our house has feelings and the powder room was feeling left out. We wholeheartedly agreed and put Operation Powder Room Appreciation Transformation into motion after months of planning. Besides, we had been having issues with the drain pipe for years and once we opened up the wall, we soon learned why! Let’s dive into our powder room and exploring ideas for small bathrooms.

This small bathroom transformation is one of my favorites!

Jack is almost one years old and his nursery never felt complete. Actually, it never felt complete when it was Ava’s or Livy’s nursery either. Funny thing is that I sort of knew what the room needed but never had the energy to get it started.
