Hello! This is our son’s room downstairs – finally! I’ve shared some of the projects along the way and now I am ready to add it to our Utah home tour. :)

Look what a reader Jackie and her son, Thomas created for his room!

This is what she said:

I bought a large canvas and painted it black. Covered it with mod podge and then some wall decals I got a great deal on online. Another layer of mod podge and some battery operated led tiny Christmas lights with a 6 HR timer. Used a tiny screwdriver to make the holes in the canvas and secured the lights in the back with electrical tape. We are both thrilled with how it turned out! It's quite big at 4 ft across and really makes the room! I love checking on him before I turn in for the night (it's on from 5-11 pm) and see him sleeping under "the stars".

So fun to get, thank you Jackie!

Ok. Mudroom and laundry room are checked off, it’s time to head downstairs and start on my oldest boy’s room. We began last spring and painted his desk and hung the map, but then we were trying to decide on how to finish everything and it kind of got pushed to the back burner. So now we’re back!! He wanted some shelves to display some of his favorite things so this is what we came up with:

Decide how many shelves and how long you want them to be. Go to your local home store (we went to Home Depot) and pick up a 12 ft pine board for $16. We were going to do 3 shelves, so we had them cut them (they will do it for free, but I find going in on a weekday is best since the weekend tend to be very busy) into 3 equal pieces.

Sand the corners if you want to, and then apply stain.
