Hi! I'm Ashley from <a href="http://biggerthanthethreeofus.com/">Bigger than the Three of Us</a>. When Megan asked me to guest post, I have to admit I was shocked. I've been been blogging about our home and all the DIY that has been going on for about a year, but mainly just for ourselves and for family/friends. I'm very much still finding my home decor style, learning to live with "rooms in progress" (like all the rooms in my house), and trying to be a DIY'er (without making too many mistakes).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today, I want to show you a simple desk that I made for my office. Pre-warning: this is a very simple desk and I'm sure I didn't do things the way you are "supposed" to do them. It worked for me and I love the outcome. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wasn't at all opposed to buying a desk, I just couldn't find anything I loved in the price range that I could afford. Does anyone else have this problem? Seriously, it seems to be the story of my life. =)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Basically, I wanted a dark wood top with a mid-century feel. I actually have a mid-century desk that my Dad gave to me, but it is way too narrow to have a computer monitor and keyboard on it. So, another thing for the desk is that it needed to be at least 26 inches deep.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I liked the feel of both of these:</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I've refinished a table top before (with assistance), but I am definitely <u>very</u> new to the whole process. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is what mine turned out like:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjo2HI5A1CmbQztNdJQyymaPREGxtQKfLVn-DQIGwRraRahbrnnbj-PoewLSxsjtMc-I1CqAjtqikne-CCWqOFMgbF86A0DPVFise-rwyOZIE0V00hvLtlIWu9NDgAGhqFEoCX7LFUxb__g/s1600/overview+of+desk+area.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjo2HI5A1CmbQztNdJQyymaPREGxtQKfLVn-DQIGwRraRahbrnnbj-PoewLSxsjtMc-I1CqAjtqikne-CCWqOFMgbF86A0DPVFise-rwyOZIE0V00hvLtlIWu9NDgAGhqFEoCX7LFUxb__g/s400/overview+of+desk+area.jpg" width="280" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Definitely not perfect (nor was the process), but for a fraction of the cost....I love it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is what I did:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I picked up the hairpin legs at <a href="http://hairpinlegsforless.com/">Hairpin Legs for Less</a>. I got the 1/2 raw steel 28'' legs. Once they shipped to me, I had to wash all the grime off. I ended up using just hot water and a towel.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I went to the hardware store for the wood. I wanted a thick single piece of wood (cut to size and inexpensive). You would think that would be easy to find, but it's not! I ended up getting pine coated plywood in 3/4 inch. I did have them cut it to size at 28Wx50L. The thickness was not ideal, so I decided to stack two pieces on top of each other.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Note: The hardware store did have pine in 1 inch depth, but the width of the table wouldn't have been big enough.</span><span style="font-size: x-small;"> I would have had to fasten two pieces together (and had a seam) to get the width right. I decided to go with the plywood instead.</span></span></div>
<span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">
</span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I applied wood glue to one of the pieces and then laid the other piece on top.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgN7jPox-yrWJB4ToKamoPSr2MxgKoHxSI9lOOqLiMDxNOCGH9N-wSNpM6vYKVYEk53oGrADZf08hsi35NeWAREYkbP7IwPcnqauqE-WcK1Y6dCTrxU_jNoHQmvJ9teNXybfjafbDPBCLU5/s1600/wood+glue.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="247" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgN7jPox-yrWJB4ToKamoPSr2MxgKoHxSI9lOOqLiMDxNOCGH9N-wSNpM6vYKVYEk53oGrADZf08hsi35NeWAREYkbP7IwPcnqauqE-WcK1Y6dCTrxU_jNoHQmvJ9teNXybfjafbDPBCLU5/s400/wood+glue.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then, I put clamps on all four sides (making sure to place extra pieces of wood between the clamp and the top - so to not have any indentions).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I added a few screws on the sides for extra sturdiness. Then, I let the glue dry.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I applied Minwax stain in Expresso with a foam brush (going with the grain). I only applied one coat. I let it dry and then added a light coat of polyurethane. I let the polyurethane dry and then sanded it. <BIG MISTAKE></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used a orbital sander with a rough grit. I don't know what I was thinking, other than I just wasn't thinking. I could totally see where I sanded through the stain. I don't have any pictures at this point, because I totally freaked out. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I decided to try to reapply the stain in some of the areas where it was definitely light. Luckily, the stain took again to those areas. After waiting for the dry time, I reapplied the polyurethane. Waited again for the dry time and then manually used a very fine grit to sand the top. I then applied the polyurethane once more.</div>

I am busy, busy packing away. Our house isn't feeling like home anymore. The walls are bare, the rugs are rolled, boxes are taking over. I'm at the point now where I am ready to be in Minnesota, unpacking instead of packing. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Allie's big girl room was so fun to imagine and then put together. I feel like it represented her quirky personality. I can't wait to see how her room evolves in our next home. For now, her room is mostly packed up and completely taken apart. I got a little teary eyed while rolling and wrapping her rug today. I'm going to miss this house where my baby girl turned into a big girl. Two years makes such a difference at this age. She was just a baby when we moved in and now she is running around the house, hollering, and bossing everyone around. When we move from Minnesota, she will be close to starting kindergarten. Time moves so fast with little ones. </div>

This is my last post in my pre-move series. And it is almost time to say goodbye to this house. Decorating a rental home has proven to be quite fun. I've had to get creative with color and temporary decorating solutions, but now I can't wait to do it all again in our next rental. I've already been planning all kinds of projects. So excited!</div>

We had a super busy, fun-filled Easter. We went to my in-laws house for brunch and an Easter egg hunt. Then, we went to my in-laws church ward for sacrament meeting. They had a special Easter program and let me tell you, even with my candy cracked out, screaming, wild children, I felt the Spirit and God is good. Jesus lives. I felt that and I know it is true. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After soaking in that goodness, we went to my parents house for dinner and another egg hunt. It was crazy, but my kids were happy and I was happy that they were happy. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My husband and I didn't give our kids Easter baskets this year. Partly because I knew both their grandparents would be supplying a massive amount of candy and partly because I wanted to focus on the true meaning of Easter with our kids. We read a book about the true meaning of Easter every night before and on Easter. Carson had all kinds of questions and concerns for Jesus, but I think he learned to appreciate His sacrifice and has been saying sweet things about Christ being risen and such. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I heart these wild ones. </div>

Remember my post with <a href="http://justformeandyou2.blogspot.com/2012/10/5-tips-on-making-rental-feel-like-home.html">5 Tips to Make a Rental Feel Like a Home</a>? One of those tips was to add rugs. I mean it. Rugs define a space, add color, warmth, texture, and interest. In my dream land of wealth, every room in my home would have <i>at least</i> one rug. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Good news, my friends...wealth isn't a necessity to have a plethora of rugs. <a href="http://www.rugsusa.com/">Rugs USA</a> offers affordable, durable rugs. I seriously am on their site a few times a week checking to see if they are having one of their massive sales (like 50-80% off plus always free shipping!!), and it is my go to site when I am designing a space for my home or for my friends/family homes. Their rugs fit everyone's budget without skimping on quality.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For Allie's room, I wanted a rug that could handle heavy barbie traffic, but was also stylish enough to be moved around our home if we ever decide to change her room. I chose the <a href="http://www.rugsusa.com/rugsusa/rugs/rugs-usa-terali-moroccan-trellis/navy/200MTVS36B-609.html">Tuscan Terali Moroccan Trellis Rug</a> in navy. It is perfect. As soon as I unrolled the rug, I was amazed at how thick and durable the rug actually was, especially since it was so affordable.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This particular rug is 100% wool, as is most of the rugs found at Rugs USA. This mean this rug does quite a bit of shedding for the first few months you own it. I can vacuum right on this rug without any struggle and have already done so probably 20 times since we were showing the house so much. So far, it shows absolutely no wear. </div>

I probably won't ever shop for rugs anywhere else. Right now, <a href="http://www.rugsusa.com/">Rugs USA</a> is offering 60-80% off their rugs for Easter. Plus, shipping is free. You can get the same <a href="http://www.rugsusa.com/rugsusa/rugs/rugs-usa-terali-moroccan-trellis/navy/200MTVS36B-609.html">rug</a> we chose in a 6 x 9 for a little over $150. Do it. Quick. Which rug is your favorite? I can't imagine this Easter sale is lasting much longer so hurry and get one...80% off, people!!</div>

When we moved into this rental home, the master was the only bedroom the owners hadn't painted. It was a really dingy off-white paired with dingy and stained white baseboards. It was a hot mess. Luckily, the owners gave us permission to paint to our heart's content. We did. We painted the walls a really dark grey, which is surprisingly so cozy and inviting (though super hard to photograph). We also painted all the baseboards, trim, doors, and the closet pure white. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This room was the first room I ever put thought into before painting and buying/making things for it. I had planned the design for this room months before we moved in. I had a lot of free time on bed rest in the hospital while pregnant with Allie. Sitting in a nasty hospital room really got me yearning for a room that we would actually love, unlike our room in our last rental. Before this room, the master has always been where we would put all the leftover junk: baby swings, a piano, tubs of outgrown baby clothes, old ottomans; our room has stored it all. I am happy to say those days our gone and our room is our own and it is peaceful. Except for when the kids are awake. Then, it is crazy loud.</div>

Everything in this room is coming with us to our next place except for the lamp. Turns out, that lamp is quite a fire hazard. I still am going to store it. It used to be my grandmas so it is special, but we will need functional lighting. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Also, the stencil seriously took me like 3 months to do that one wall. Never again. </div>

Would you spend the time to stencil a rental?<br />

Hey ya'll. I'm guest judging over at The CSI Project again. There is only about 5 hours left to link up so hurry on. This week's challenge is <a href="http://thecsiproject.com/2013/03/28/time-to-link-up-for-the-spring-wreath-challenge/">Spring Wreaths</a> so let me see what you got! Can't wait and good luck!</div>

I have finished Allie's room as much as I am going to finish it while we are living in this house. We are moving in just a few weeks so it's almost time to start packing up. I will do a 'Pre-Move' post on her room before we leave so you can see how it all came together. I'll wait to do her room reveal post when we move to Minnesota since I am sure it will be a little different. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Adding in coral and pinks have really given her room a polished and feminine feel-especially since there is a lot of navy going on. The middle of the room was feeling a little heavy and dark so I was pretty stinkin' excited when this lovely <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/Zeldabelle?section_id=11445014">Pouf</a> from <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/Zeldabelle?ref=seller_info">Zeldabelle</a> came in the mail. It is so crisp and bright and structured. Love.</div>

The pouf is firm enough to use as a temporary side table with a tray on top, but also cushy enough that your bottom will most likely thank you for the seat. True story. This bad boy (girl?) has over 10 lbs of polyester fiber filling and bounces right back to its perfect form when that bottom of yours decides to hop off.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
One thing I <i>really</i> love about this particular <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/Zeldabelle">pouf</a> is that it has a zipper. As in the cover can be taken off and washed, making even this mostly white (with pretty coral polka dots) <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/Zeldabelle">ottoman</a> totally perfect for children's room. Ideal, because this happens a lot:</div>

I love handmade, especially when it is clear how much love and talent went into making something. It is definitely clear with this pouf. The quality is amazing and I love how perfectly the pattern lines up to make a star shape. We are so pleased!</div>

Carson's room has always been a hangout destination for my kids. They spread out a poster of Andy's (from Toy Story) room and spend time together acting out scenes with all the character figurines. Allie usually ends up ruining everything and Carson ends up screaming and then Allie starts <i>really</i> screaming. The same scenario plays out for all other activities they do together, like playing transformers, or barbies, or coloring, or "reading", or sticker books...it all ends with the screaming. BUT, those few minutes of them playing happily together makes me happier than words can describe and there has been a lot of that in this room. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When we moved into this house, his room was hand painted in stripes of yellow, pink, and blue. The room was previously shared with boy/girl siblings so it worked for them. However, pink wasn't going to work for my manly of a man. His room was the first room we tackled so he would feel at home. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
His room started with a tiny toddler bed which he outgrew so much that he actually broke it. We upgraded his bed to full size so his room could double as a guest bedroom when necessary. It has already got a lot of use. Carson doesn't mind sharing his room. He gets to sleep with me, which he has preferred anyway since he was a newborn.</div>

I am going to miss the room that my little tot became such a big boy. Carson is definitely going to miss this room. He keeps asking me if I will remember to bring random things with us to Minnesota like his bed, or his toys, or his blankie. It's pretty sad. </div>

Do you have any tricks to keep your kids from getting anxious about moving?</div>

One thing I know for sure: there is no way our next kitchen in our apartment is going to be this nice. Matter of fact, I am pretty sure our kitchen will be cramped, dark, without natural light or enough room for more than one person to cook. I am also sure our dining "room" will probably be carpeted and have a ceiling fan over it. Why do apartments do that?? Carpet in the dining space?? It seriously makes me crazy! I know I personally don't enjoy scrubbing spaghetti sauce out of carpet that is already stained with someone else's spaghetti sauce. Nasty.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The kitchen is what sold me on renting our current house. The owners had just finished it right before we moved in. They hadn't planned on moving so they really worked hard on making it a space they would love. What I really love...they totally did it themselves. You should have seen the before pictures. It was scary. The after is fresh and bright and offers tons of counter space and storage. I'm going to miss having a pretty kitchen. So, so bad.</div>

Good times and good meals were had. Having a nice kitchen as a renter is pretty rare. We are going apartment hunting for our next apartment and I think I might be harder to please than I have been in the past because of this kitchen.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Do I have any Minnesota readers? Any good areas/apartments that you might suggest we check out? Our son is starting kindergarten this year (which is NUTS!) so we have to consider schools while apartment searching. Wish us luck.</div>

I've been planning on a <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/112686957/copper-rhino-wall-decortaxidermywall">rhino head</a> for Allie's room since I decided to transform her nursery into a big girl room. I'm pretty nuts for some faux taxidermy. I originally planned on white, but when I saw the gold at <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/SquackDoodle?ref=seller_info">SquackDoodle</a> I had to have it. It's perfect...so playful and stylish. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
No joke, you would have thought a live puppy showed up at my house when the rhino came in the mail. Allie and Carson were fighting over who got to hold it and <i>pet</i> it. They are freaks. Before they could find a way to put a leash on it and call it their own, I put a nail in the wall and hung it up. It came ready to hang with a sawtooth hanger which was mighty convenient to quickly end the battle of who gets to hold it. Answer: the wall. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The original listing was copper, but they can do all kinds of fun colors. I obviously went with gold and I'm glad I did. I'm liking the small bit of metallic shine over her bed. The sun hits it and it sure is pretty.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The rhino head is a little smaller than the one you might see at other retail stores, but the perfect size for over a twin bed or in a picture grouping. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Check out <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/SquackDoodle">SquackDoodle</a> on Etsy. The Rhino Head is only $38, so much more affordable than other basic ones I have seen in just white.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And I am crushing on her <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/SquackDoodle?section_id=7093474">wall hooks</a>. To die for. I seriously think I need this <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/113262986/oxblood-steer-wall?">Steer head</a> for my jewelry. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Allie has almost always loved books. Probably because her older brother loves books so much and she wants to be just like him. I find her in her room every morning and nap time either playing barbies or "reading" a massive pile of books. Her current favorite is 'Brown Bear.'</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I don't think this ottoman is coming with us to Minnesota, but for now it works great for this corner and for reading. We sit here together every night while I rock her and read her a story before we snuggle in her bed. She's my sweet girl.</div>

Love seeing books all over her room. Book mess, for some reason, doesn't bother me. It's just so cute. Do your kids like to look at all their books at the same time or just my mess makers?</div>

I included Allie's fabric for her curtains in my <a href="http://justformeandyou2.blogspot.com/2013/01/big-girl-room-mood-board.html">mood board</a>. I chose the <a href="http://www.buyfabrics.com/p-28080-monaco-linen-ikat-contemporary-drapery-fabric.aspx#.UTvLtx1gS8A">Monaco Linen Ikat Contemporary Drapery Fabric</a>. It has grey and beige and white and the color and pattern is just perfect for adding a touch of modern sophistication to her room. The <a href="http://www.buyfabrics.com/">fabric</a> is thick and luxurious. I clearly need a new curtain rod to really show off my new pretties, but I'll get that done once we move.</div>

I'm a terrible sewer. Like probably the worst ever so yeah, don't consider this a tutorial. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
To make my curtains, I measured, hemmed the sides, pinned the top and bottom leaving an opening on top for the curtain rod. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Then, of course, I got out my handy dandy seam ripper and did it all over again because they looked crazy. I can't decide if it's my measuring, my pinning, or my sewing, but I can never sew anything right the first time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Anyway, they worked out and I'm crazy about the curtains. For me, they totally make her room.</div>

I'm also a big fan of the pattern repeat n the curtains and the rug (more on that later). There is a lot of pattern mixing in this room so a little repeat helps make it work.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I can't wait to post more of this room so you can see how everything works together and how awesome the curtains really are. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you are interested in the curtain fabric, you can purchase it at <a href="http://buyfabrics.com/">buyfabrics.com</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's called <a href="http://www.buyfabrics.com/p-28080-monaco-linen-ikat-contemporary-drapery-fabric.aspx#.UTvLtx1gS8A">Monaco Linen Ikat</a> for $22.95/yard.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Oh hello- plastic covered, filthy, stained dining chair from my childhood. You nasty. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I literally dined in this chair as a child. I can't even imagine what those stains are. Disgusting. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My parents actually had this chair in their closet so my dad could sit down and tie his shoes. I liked the frame of the chair so I switched him chairs and took this baby home. I knew it needed some super modern fabric to get its original look out of my mind. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm pretty obsessed with it now. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I made a slipcover for the top and stapled the bottom fabric to the seat. It was pretty easy and I used less than a yard of fabric so this chair cost me less than $7. </div>

The playroom is another room we won't have in our next apartment. I have already cleared out a lot of stuff from this room since last time I posted about this space, but I still have way more editing to do. Everything in this room is going to have to fit in my kid's new rooms or get donated. This is a stressful job to decide what stays and what goes; what your kids will miss and what they won't even notice is gone. Though, my son is fully crazy about me getting rid of stuff. Like even garbage. I have to sneak business cards and stray lego pieces and pens and random junk from his room when he isn't home or he freaks out on me. This could be similar to me and pillows. Hmm. So yeah, it has been a process editing toys. He will definitely have to go to grandmas on packing/moving days.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
With that being said, I can't say I'll miss this room. For some reason, my kids both play better in their bedrooms. This room is always just a disaster of toys. It seriously seems like they just take everything in this room and put it into piles. Piles they won't share with each other, of course. Nothing ever seems to actually get <i>played</i> with in here, with the exception of when friends are over.</div>

I'm already feeling the stress of moving. The owners of our home are trying to sell the house. We have been having showings like crazy. I'm just nutty enough to get totally anxious about people being in my house so I always want it to be perfectly clean. A perfectly clean house everydayyyy is the <u>worst</u>. I'm tired and hoping it sells soon so I don't have to do dishes everyday anymore :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No idea how I'll handle packing and showing this house. Pray, people, pray.</div>

I have been busy up in Allie's room. My family keeps picking on me for trying to finish her big girl room before we move. I have no idea why, but I always do crap like this. Like seriously every time we are about to move. I think having a fun/large project helps relieve some moving stress, which I realize is doesn't make any sense. Anyway, I thought it might be good for Allie to get used to not sleeping in her crib before we move so everything doesn't seem completely new and scary in a new place.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have been holding onto this awesome fabric for months with intentions of someday making it into a headboard. I picked it up with my bestie at a discount fabric store for $1.99. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used leftover board from Carson's headboard, stapled a foam pad that my mother-in-law gave me, and stapled batting on that, and then stapled the fabric. Easy peasy. </div>

Below is her crib converted into a toddler bed. It was good for practicing how to not fall out of bed. I decided to do a twin size bed with a headboard instead because I didn't want to have to take apart, pack it, and then build her crib <i>again. </i>Plus, I figured it would be good to have a twin bed in our next apartment in case we have a bunch of guests. And I love being able to snuggle with her in bed.</div>

Our family room has changed so much since we moved into this house. We started with the olive sectional and brown faux leather ottoman, then we got our new couch and a round glass table, then I changed it up with a wooden table (still in need of refinishing), a not normal and completely irrational amount of pillows have been switched up and around, and art and accessories have been changed an insane amount (as in, I'm insane and I know it). This room has become functional and family friendly for us. Endless hours of t.v watching, snuggling, wrestling, doll playing, transformer battles, disaster making, dancing, kids fighting, and best of all, Allie's first time crawling took place in this room. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The floral pillows are new. I just made them using my envelope pillow tutorial. I moved the cowhide from my office and the white vases on the t.v console were moved down from my kitchen table.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Are you a collector of pillows and knick knacks? I like to have a supply of random junk to switch up decor when I am bored, but I'm not sure we will have room in our next apartment for my hoard. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How do you decide what to get rid of when you move?</div>

<i>We are moving next month.</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Man. We have known we were moving for months and months and with that knowledge time was taking forever. When my husband got accepted to school in Minneapolis, I was wishing we could just move right then. Not because I want to move, but because I am ready to start and then move on from this part of our lives.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Two years in Minnesota for school and then we can <i>finally</i> settle down somewhere. Buy a home, make permanent friends, become more than temporary citizens somewhere. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But...moving. Oh. I'm excited, yes, but so nervous and sad and scared. Both mine and my husband's families are here in Georgia, our kid's best friends are their cousins and I love that. I'll miss that. We love renting a house, especially this one that has become our home. We love our church ward and all the friends we have made there, Stone Mountain, and my son's preschool and my daughter's physical therapist, and all the fun attractions and yummy places to eat in the Decatur/Atlanta area. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Minneapolis holds the unknown. How will we adjust? How will our kids adjust? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Will we turn into snowmen (that's a real concern, I hear)?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Time will tell. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, before the big move, I have decided to post each room since I won't have the chance again. Today, I am starting with my office because in our next apartment, we won't have an office. I am thinking we will buy a small parsons desk for our bedroom so my husband can study. My newly recovered chair (which I will do another post about), the dresser full of my craft/sewing supplies, the rug, and curtains are the only things moving with us. Everything else is getting stored in my parent's basement.</div>

<b><i>Easy and Delicious Meatballs:</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><br /></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 lb ground turkey</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 egg</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1/2 cup whole wheat bread crumbs</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1/2 onion, diced</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2 cloves garlic, minced</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1/2 cup freshly shredded mozzarella or parmesean</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1/2 tablespoon oregano</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 teaspoon garlic powder</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 teaspoon onion powder</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sea salt and pepper to taste</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Preheat oven to 375. Combine all ingredients. Form into 2 inch balls. Bake for about 20-25 mins or until brown. I like a crispy bottom and the mozzarella keeps the meatballs nice and moist. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Serve with pasta and sauce or on a sandwich or whatever your heart desires.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Enjoy!</div>

Tracy's family room has actually been a work in progress for months. Besides the couch, which was obviously the biggest and most important piece, I have been involved in all the shopping and decorating for this room. And it has been FUN! Tracy is so great about letting me do whatever I think will look stylish. We still have to figure out window treatments (which will make <i>all</i> the difference), but for right now this room has really come together. Bonus...this room is comfy and cozy. Best.</div>

Since Allie's room is chaos currently, the natural thing to do felt like changing everywhere else in our house, too, including Carson's room. Nothing drastic. Just put a pair of floor lamps in there, moved his map over his bed, and added some antlers to his nightstand. It feels masculine and a little more sophisticated, but not to the point that it doesn't feel like it belongs to my little boy. Opposite wall is a Toy Story poster that came with his Valentines. That's real. And it sure ain't cute.</div>

Remember my post about Tracy's <a href="http://justformeandyou2.blogspot.com/2013/01/tracys-dining-room.html">dining room</a> progress? Her, my brother, and my super hero nephew just moved into a rental townhome. It is a great space. I'm super j. It's much larger than their previous apartment so they have a ton of empty space that needed filling.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyhow, my mom wanted to surprise Tracy for her birthday and decorate their master bedroom since Tracy has really wanted this to get done but hasn't known where to start. My mom asked me if I would go with her to pick out the stuff and then do the decorating. Um, heck yeah!</div>

<i>Before (New bedding is already on bed. Old bedding is the red floral in the bottom left).</i></div>
<br />
Her red floral bedding wasn't setting the vibe for a relaxing, go-to space so that had to go. I chose a super light blue paisley print on white quilt (it's reversible!) to soften the room. For fun, I grabbed the green polka dot pillows, and for a feminine touch, a delicate flower pillow and furry throw blanket. I want to cozy up in that inviting bed. Except not really because that is where my brother sleeps and stuff...and gross.<br />

Have you ever surprised someone by redecorating their room? Were they shocked in a good or bad way?</div>
