Decorating Phase

I've been changing things around a little at the house...
I bought this cute MINATURE RECLINER for Tate at Goodwill for $8 and I love it (maybe even more than he does)
. It's new home is in the little NOOK at the top of the stairs. OH HOW I LOVE THIS NOOK!!!

It has become such a perfect play room.
(Sorry my camera won't zoom out for better pictures). Also I made some cute blue CURTAINS for this area of our house out of a tablecloth. It really helps to keep the heat out-yeah!

One of the walls in the EXTRA bedroom also got a makeover. I used THIS tutorial that I had found about how to make a picture cluster without making a million holes in your wall. It REALLY helped a lot!
And now for Tate's bedroom, I had this idea of decorating his room with the theme of "Imagine me a Missionary". So I started by BORROWING Bryan's old ties and hanging them from the curtains.

Hmmmm. Okay I'm not sure if they should stay. I think that if I decorate the rest of the room it might look cute, but then again it might just look strange. What do you think? Should they stay-YES OR NO. I need opinions here...

  1. I like the ties....but at the same time maybe some more decorations would help keep the spirit of the room. Good teaching opportunities to focus on here. Cute!

  2. I totally LOVE the tie idea! I think you could do SO MUCH with that theme! I would start with the stripling warriors mama's boy poster. IKEA has some really cute inexpensive poster size frames. You can find great stuff at your local distribution center too. We found old school photos of Nephi (for Nephi's room), put them in a good frame and they look amazing. You could make cool missionary themed magnets for his magnet board, Get a map of the world and have him put thumb tacs on everywhere he would like to serve someday, ect...the possibilities are endless! I am so excited to see all the fun stiff you will do.

  3. I think the ties will look good as part of a whole themed room for sure!! Don't you just love getting good deals at Goodwill!

  4. Hmmm I like the tie idea, but I wonder if incorporating some utility might add to the charm? For example, using them as curtain ties? A series of framed ties? Maybe using them as more of an accent?
