Porch Dreaming – A Perfect Girls Room Summer Adventure

 Renovation of Girls Room:  Porch Dreaming

Renovation of Girls Room:  Porch Dreaming

Since I have been so busy the past few weeks flying to ALT summits, making flowers for Pinterest, or just dealing with my kids during summer vacation, I thought this week we would talk about some DIY projects.  This is part of a room I completed for a client.  It is one of my favorites.  There are lots of little personal touches that make this room very unique.  As a whole, it might seem a bit daunting.  But if we take projects one at a time, I bet you could do some of these yourselves.  THE TRICK…take your time and no deadlines.  Getting the result is rewarding.  But enjoying the process of getting there should be the main goal.  There is still a lot of summer left.  Take notes.  Gather supplies. Ask questions.  Include your kids & make this fun!  I will make this as easy as possible.
