Between Naps on the Porch!

18 years and four boys can do this to a spare bedroom!

We didn't notice how badly the wallpaper had faded

or how dirty it really was until I removed part of the

chair rail border. Ugh!

The wallpaper steamer came in handy! And Nugget was my constant companion! Everyone needs a giant lop-eared bunny for a supervisor! Here's that fun wipe-clean couch I told you about earlier that I found at Big Lots. It's called a Click-Clack sofa and can fold flat to make a twin sized bed. Taupe colored walls, black furniture and red accents make the room look great for boys who are now young men. Since it's a small room, I kept the furniture to the walls and left as much floor space as possible. It makes vacuuming much easier, too. I framed some prints from an old calendar. Here's that funny 1931 print from the Toy Train Society. The colors in this print were perfect...love the lady traveler in her 1920's outfit! I did the poor-man's style of framing here...cut out the print from an old book and attached it to a piece of printer paper with rubber cement for a 'mat'. All the frames were thrift store finds that I painted black. And I made a sign to put above the window. It was originally a shelf....the only part of a bookcase that wasn't damaged. The rest went in the trash and the shelf became a sign! I got my inspiration from the talented Susie Harris at Bienvenue! I'm so pleased with the room that I immediately started on the hallway....1980's striped walls and floral border...they have to go! LOL!
