Sheer Curtains: IKEA Lill.

in Baby Jack’s room... How Much Time Can You Spend?.

This desk and shelving unit in Kennedy’s room looks pretty simple now that it’s all done, but it took Chris about 4 days from dawn til dusk to get everything to fit just right with all the weird angles and uneveness everywhere in the room.And then it took me another full day to paint it!If you’d like your project to go a little quicker and you’re dealing with just a straight wall, consider using pre-made shelving units for all or some of your project and just attaching them to the wall and trimming them out with some moldings.

You’ll be amazed at how fast you can transform a room that way and you’ll wonder why you waited so long!.It’s never fun to worry about your budget on DIY projects, but it’s even less fun to realize you’ve overspent afterwards.

Really look at the costs of all the materials your plan requires and see what it’s going to cost you.

Sometimes the smallest pieces of a project can be the most expensive!So we got the contractor to finish up what he was working on, paid him for those few weeks, and then we’ve started working in there ourselves.

Naturally, things have slowed down a lot but we’re definitely starting to get into the really fun stuff now!.(I’ll give three brownie points to anyone who can guess which color I’m painting this room!).

So much fun, right?Honestly, because we’re trying to do lots of interesting things in here, we’re really stretching the limits of our capabilities, but we’re also learning so much along the way!.
