Little Temporary Teepee For The Little Girl Bee

There is just something about a Teepee that makes kids (and kids-at-heart) excited. I was even excited to make my little girl her own little temporary teepee. I promised them last year I was going to make them one, but that didn't happen. This one is temporary because I am going to make them one that is big enough that will fit both of them. I will be using some canvas drop cloth for the big one and let my kids decorate it. I get so excited just thinking about it. Don't you? After I finished the teepee, my little girl invited me over to her room and asked me if I could read her some books in her teepee. It is so special and so sweet. In fact right now, as I am writing this, my little girl and daddy are in her room reading a book. She gets more and more excited about hanging out in her room now that she has her own teepee. 

The fabrics used on this project are rummage sale find from last year or a couple years ago. They were 25 cents per fabric so both the yellow one and the blue one are worth 50 cents. Awesome! I forgot how much the dowels were, but it was not that much. This project cost me about $10ish? 

No tutorials this time on this one because there is a sea of tutorials online now. It is easy to make, really. Maybe when I get the other big Teepee or tent done, I might have a tutorial on that one. I have already found the one that I want to make for my kids and I am excited! Thank goodness for Pinterest! Have you made one before? Do share!

Peek-A-Boo!!!

Don't mind that big black paint stain on the carpet. Hopefully it'll get replaced, soon! Have a great one!

NURSERY IN SLOW PROGRESS & HARLEY'S ROOM

Can you even believe it that August is almost over? Two more days and it's September already. My, where have all the time gone? I can't believe that I have about 2 and 1/2 months left to get this tiny little room turned into a nursery for our new addition to the family. I am still far away from getting it done. Haven't purchased any baby items yet and I am starting to get a little worried. Breathe in! Breathe out! Calm down, Adin! Anyway, with the little progress I made, I am going to let you peak in a little of what's going to be in this little girl's nursery.

From this mess.....

When I first moved in with my husband five years ago, this tiny little room was right next to our bedroom and it was a storage for all of my husband's book and I saw that it had this huge closet so I convinced my husband to knock down the walls and make it a part of our bedroom. Now our bedroom has space and I got my huge closet. Since this house is a tiny house and there's not a lot of rooms, I decided to use this little space for our little girl's nursery. I can't wait to get everything done and see the room in its final order. Right now, I got most of the paintings done except for my crib. Yes! I spray painted the crib with white and I ran out of spray paints so I am hoping to get some more next time we get out of town. As you can see, the colors of the room are not the typical pink room for girls because I am in love with yellow this time. It was perfect that I already painted this room yellow like two years ago so I saved money and time on that part. The only painting I did was the white trim, the bench, crib and some other little things that needed some sprucing up. Since I am using the closet in this room, I got a little creative and decided to connect a rod on top of the bench and that will be the makeshift closet. There's not a lot of storage so I will be purchasing bins and vintage wire baskets to store her things.

Those empty frames will be filled with photos and some vintage cards that were from my mother-in-law. I can't wait to show the finished room! This is a handmade and vintage inspired room that I am working on with love for my little girl. I am excited!

This was a patchwork that I did the other day and I will show the finished product when the room is done. It is a crib sheet made out of vintage fabrics that I ordered online. I am not a quilter so the only thing I can do that is easy for me is patchwork so that's what I did. I love the colors!

Of course since this is a handmade inspired room as well, I made some stuffed toys for my little girl and this is one of them. My husband said it looks like a frog. What? I call her Ms. Pinky. She's going to be sitting in that robin's egg blue basket screwed on the wall. So far, these are the only things I can show you and the next time it will be a finished room. Before I go, I would also like to share you a little bit of changes on my little man's room because I don't want him to feel left out. He knows I am working on her little sister's room and he loves hanging out in this room especially on that bench by the window.

We went to a store here in town the other week and saw these shelves up for sale and I grabbed them right away. I think I paid $25 for all three of them. I stacked up the two shelves together and placed some of his toy bins and books. The other storage with white bins are his toys, diapers and wipes. I love how it turned out and the room looks like it has more space. I am on the hunt for a locker and hopefully I get lucky and score me a baby.

Vintage table: Free from a friend.
Vintage chair: Rummage sale find for 50 cents


Painting!

This little man loves to paint, write and read books so he was really excited when he got this vintage table that matches his vintage chair from his adopted grandma Vicky. It was like it was meant to be and I am glad I gave her a call asking her if she has a table that she no longer uses and she found this one. They're like match made in heaven. All I have to do now is to shop for some bins to store all his writing and painting materials. Thank you so much, Vicky!

MYM: My Little Man's Playroom

It's another Monday and time for another Mellow Yellow Monday meme. This time is a photo of my 2-year old super active little boy whom I caught climbing up reaching for the switch so he could turn on the light and play in his room. I just got done cleaning up his bedroom and he was just happy and excited to play with all of his toys in his room because now he can see everything, it's organized and it's no longer a chaos. He is a little boy who loves cars, trains and everything with wheels. What can you say, the boy is a real boy. He loves his wheels!

(Ah! It is so nice to see the room clean and mama can now relax.)

I made him some buntings with initials of his name and I am about to make more buntings that will go around his room to make it more festive and fun. Perfect for a fun loving little boy! I hope everyone will have a great week ahead and let the good luck begins today!
