Trying again since IG posted blanks as my last 3 photos 😅. Swipe and let me know which curtain you think would look best in here - 1 or 2?
The girls love both. Then asked about my childhood bedroom. The room I remember most, we lived in a 3 bd/2 br duplex that I later learned was section 8 housing. My room had marbled brown shag carpet. Two twin beds with a mattress and box spring. A poorly DIY metal bookshelf that I coveted and neatly lined up the few books I had. I taped up my first poster which was of Jonathan Taylor Thomas 😄 - who remembers him? They got a good laugh out of JTT!
All this to say, I truly enjoy designing my kiddos’ rooms with them. These curtains are from my old apartment. I’m excited to hang new ones to bring in more character. P.S. The stripe one is currently on sale! All updated sources of the girls’ room are on my blog (including the lighting + curtain options) or comment “read” and I’ll send to you to bookmark.

Band practice room reveal 🎶! Brian DIY’d our garage attic into his dream band practice + my dream “hidden” storage space. He always goes above and beyond for our family so I wanted to surprise him. With the help from @castleryus and their high quality craftsmanship, durable and well designed furniture, this one-of-a-kind room received a big upgrade!
I carved out a lounge area with the Amber swivel chairs in dark moss and added a workspace with the Sloane desk for music editing. Multipurpose rooms can look busy but I love how this came together where we didn’t sacrifice function for style. You can find more info about all the pieces in my stories.
Brian and his high school buddies had dreams of making it big with their band, Fetter’s Grove. At last, he majored in aviation with a career in finance. It’s funny where life takes us. However, his love for music never waivers and we’re his biggest fans 😉. We also have family karaoke nights, dance parties and music lessons here. Our pieces from Castlery are well made and suitable for how we live. As we grow older, may we never lose that sense of fun we had as kids. #AtHomeWithCastlery, #homedecorideas, #homedecortips, #homemakeover
