Raen’s Nursery Makeover

I think Raen’s room may have been my very favorite makeover yet.  By adding just a couple of paint colors and a new bookshelf it became a whole new room.

I first sketched out a couple of different options to paint and finally fell in love with one of the most simple choices.  I began by painting what I refer to as the rainbow but I didn’t love the color so I decided to start over.  I was so much happier with the new color so once that was done,  I then painted a thick strip from floor to ceiling using paint tape to make straight edges.  Once that was finished, I still felt like the walls were still too bare.  I thought about it and figured I’d add a random, big circle with the hopes that it would work out and it did!

The paint colors I used:

Large circle- Burnt Toffee in Satin in Satin finish

Strip from floor to ceiling- Honey Nougat in Satin finish

Oversized Rainbow- Beech Nut in Satin finish

If you want to see the process of the makeover, here is the video.

We’ve had this CRIB for a few years now and it still looks like new.  It’s a convertible crib so it can be made into a crib or toddler bed which is nice for those growing years.

This RUG has been put through the ringer.  It’s not a washable rug but I wash it in my washing machine and have had no problems with it wearing down!

I love this simple PILLOWand this MUSTARD PILLOW for a pop of color.

This SHELF UNIT  is from IKEA and I love how it looks in Raen’s room.  I love the raw wood and having a place to put his little knick knacks.

This is the MIRROR I want to hang above Raen’s dresser.

This DIY CLAY MOBILE was one that I made a few years ago.  Check out the blog post and create your own!

I love this FAUX CACTUS.  I’ve seen it in person and it truly looks real!

Raen’s chair is no longer available but here is a similar LEATHER SLING CHAIR in white that I really like!  This CHAIR also has my heart but it’s definitely on the pricier side!

I just purchased this SLOTH BOWL to keep Raen’s binkies in.

The chair Raen is sitting on is a vintage one that I found at a market a few years ago and unfortunately haven’t been able to find a similar one!

I couldn’t find the exact LAMP but found this similar one that’s also available in pink and green.  It’s also on sale for $13.49!

This is our favorite kids SUITCASE that I forgot to put next to Raen’s crib until after taking photos.  I love the vintage look and the fun color options!

Raen’s PIGGY BANK is no longer available but here is a fun, unique one.

DEER STUFFED ANIMAL is one of my favorites, I love the little pants sewn on.

How fun is this MICKEY SWEATSHIRT?  It’s sequined so you can switch it from an all gold outfitted Mickey to the classic Mickey.

This faux LEATHER SKIRT is cute paired with a simple tee.

I love little girls in overalls and these PINK CORDUROY OVERALLS may be my favorite.  They are also available in green and denim.

I wish they had this GRAPHIC HOODED DRESS in my size.

If you haven’t noticed, I am the biggest fan of tall socks on little girls.  These FLORAL SOCKS and CHEETAH/FLORAL SOCKS are super cute.

Buying this pair of STRIPED OVERALLS for Milo, STAT.

I think different shades of brown are my favorite wardrobe colors this year.  These BROWN PANTS and these BROWN SLOUCH PANTS are so good and can easily be paired with all sorts of tops.

This HIGH NECK STRIPED SWEATER is something I wish I could wear.

This PUFFER JACKET is simple and affordable!  It will keep your little one warm and is cute.

You can have your girls or boys wear this COLORBLOCK SWEATSHIRT and it’s only $10.

I just bought this FLORAL JACKET for Milo.

You know I love a good pair of culottes and these DENIM CULOTTES make getting ready in the morning for school quick and easy.  Just grab a top and go!

Milo has these CLOGS in three different colors and she loves them, they’re super comfy.

Just bought this STAR JACKET for Milo.

We love this DON’T UNDERESTIMATE ME sweatshirt.  Imagine it paired with the culottes from below.  So good.

The easiest 2 Minute Pigtails

It’s been a minute since Milo and I have done a hair tutorial and we’ve missed it! One baby later, a move from Utah to Arizona and we’re back. Hallelujah!

We’re excited to share this one with you guys because it’s EASY! This hairstyle is by far the easiest one out of any that we’ve previously shared. I’m pretty confident that even dudes can do it.

All you need for this hairstyle are these POLYBANDS and a hairbrush. I prefer a WETBRUSH because I’m pretty sure it has some type of magical power in it that gets tangles out like they’re nothing.

I would love to hear about your experience while creating this hairstyle! Leave a comment here or on my YouTube if you want to let me know.
