Creative Kids Rooms

This year for Christmas, we are redoing our children’s bedrooms. One of the things we have planned are custom headboards. They are flat headboards that will be painted with blackboard paint and then we will stencil designs along the top to “pretty” it up. Once they are up, they will be able to color on [...]

Kitchen Updates on a Budget

Solid Colors Perfect for Youth Rooms

We’re currently working on redecorating my eldest daughter’s room.

So, [...]

Concrete Engraving
