Harrison’s Room

Harrison’s room has pretty much been a blank slate since we moved in. I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do with this room as I just wasn’t sure how long he’d be staying in a crib for. Now I know, the long the better! So I decided it was time to turn this white space into something fun! 

I’ve seen the irregular dots by Urban Walls featured in children’s rooms & always loved how it looked. I’ve used their decals in the past & the results are so cute! Plus this is a great way to commit to decorating a room without too much commitment (no holes in the walls 👏🏻). Also, the irregular dots can simply be put wherever you want. Closer or further apart, no measuring! So easy even my 4 year old daughter helped.

Front Door

Since we moved into our home we found that the front door didn’t match the rest of the home. We wanted the front door to correspond with the exterior, a modern vibe. 

We sourced out the items at Home Hardware. New paint (the paint color we selected is Home Hardware’s own line, Beautitone in “graphite & granite”). As well as a new glass insert by Trimlite. The new insert is called “The Sullivan”. Lastly, we wanted black hardware to tie in with the black exterior lights. So we chose the hardware by Weiserlock “Halifax”. The project itself was quite easy. Starting with cleaning the surface, giving it a light sand & then removing the glass insert for easy painting (I was given the advice to use a small foam roller & it did such a great job!). I let the paint dry for hours before applying another coat. Once I was certain the paint was dry we put the new glass insert into the door. Finally installing the new hardware. Voila! A brand new door!

You know you’ve made a great transformation when people don’t even believe it’s the same door! I’m so impressed by the results of this project!
