Anybody watching the news a few weeks back knows my beautiful city of Charleston basically shut down for a few days while we all dealt with the onslaught of Hurricane Joaquin’s rains (four solid days of it), high tides, and flash floods. Schools and businesses closed, roads closed, and then, the entire peninsula shut down.

Fall in Blush
Welcome to my Fall Home Tour. This year, I decided to go pink. Non-traditional, I know, but I love muted pinks and blush tones. There’s a softness to those colors that just lends itself to a season of knitted mittens, and fuzzy blankets, and snuggles by a crackling fire.
DIY Pirate Ship Mobile
If you ventured over here from my Pirate-Inspired Boy Bathroom, then you know that while I was in the midst of decorating the boys’ playroom bathroom, I found and fell in love with Ann Wood’s Boat Mobiles. They are incredibly beautiful, and I thought something similar would be the perfect addition to the bathroom. Ann Wood does provide a template for her mobiles that you can use (click the link above if interested) but I did not buy it. I am cheap when it comes to my projects, especially if I feel like I can figure something out on my own, and being a math teacher, I figured I could design some sort of pirate ship that would work.
Decorating a Boy Bathroom
Oh my goodness, I am so excited to share this latest phase of Project Playroom with you! It has, by far, been one of the cutest endeavors I have taken on in our new house, and I love cute. Kid spaces can be so much fun to decorate, and this project has delighted me every step of the way. And while I am never afraid to venture beyond my realm of craft-knowledge, trying things for the first time (not always successfully, I might add), I went way out and beyond this time around…the fact that everything came together in the end makes me so very proud!
