The Reveal of Our Second Teen Boy’s Bedroom… Sneakers, LED Lights and Football!

DISCLAIMER: This post is sponsored by Walmart. All opinions are my own. Thank you to Walmart for sponsoring this post! Post contains affiliate links (read my full disclosure).

Kinda hard to believe that just a few months ago I could’ve pulled my car into this room and now it’s a bedroom! If you are new around here let me sum up this little garage slip to stepson’s new bedroom situation… For starters, almost two years ago exactly I met the man of my dreams. We dated for about a year and a half, decided to get married, then decided to make my house our home and are now doing so by turning our detached garage into a full on apartment space for his two teenage sons… 13 and 15.

And now for part two of my long story short… why would we have the garage be their space? For one, our home was built in 1908 without any thought for garages at that time. The garage was added to match the home in the early 2000’s and although it’s beautiful and we love it, I have literally parked my car in there one time and that was for a hail storm. It isn’t convenient to the home whatsoever so we just always park in the driveway. Plus, the way it is configured leaves space for only one car. The other slip has a small space that we will be making into their little living area along with a staircase to the garage “bonus room” area as well as a plumbed space that we made into a bathroom several years ago. And the next most commonly asked question… why not make them rooms inside our home? Although our home is fairly large, the layout is BIZARRE but we love it and the rooms are HUGE which leaves not much extra space for two more bedrooms. Plus, the finished basement is our entrance and the bathroom isn’t big enough for a shower so garage it was!

We finished up his 13 year old son’s room several weeks ago and you can TOUR HIS ROOM HERE!

Now let’s chat about his 15 year old son’s room…my design challenge of all design challenge’s! His requests were paint colors from his favorite purple, black and white Air Jordan sneakers with lots of LED lights, a nod to his love for fishing and a spot for his Denver Broncos artwork. Not sure we could’ve veered more outside of my wheelhouse! LOL!

So just as I did for Zach’s room, I partnered with Walmart to give him a designer looking space… simply because his stepmom happens to be a designer and I can’t imagine not showing them the same design love I’ve shown my girls… but with “boy-ness” in mind 😉 Affordable finds from Walmart that are cozy and functional but also don’t break the bank! As I did with Zach’s room, I started my search with Walmart’s Fall Home Lookbook which is full of beautiful, warm pieces in an array of styles that would give his room the feel of home. I will be going back and blogging lots of the DIY projects we did in this space from his reclaimed wood platform bed to the little kitchenette I will be featuring in another post.

This room design began with the color purple and this amazing 8′ x 8′ sneaker mural I found when I first started pondering ideas for this room. From there I knew I wanted a big touch of warmth with a wood bed and some big bold color blocking details from the large white table lamps to the grey concrete-esque lamps and double modern wood dressers. And then a few pops of fun with these graphic pillows and these bright purple pillows. Here’s a peek at the garage space before, during the initial renovation process and TODAY!!!

BEFORE…

IN PROGRESS…

When perusing antique malls for an old wood table When perusing antique malls for an old wood table becomes an album cover shopping trip turned gallery wall 💿 Ab and I spotted these fun, colorful covers while out one day and thought it just might be the perfect finishing touch in our historic fixer upper family room! With rose gold frames from @frameiteasy and a rather impromptu hanging method, this wall turned out to be the easiest, most colorful and fun project yet in our little brick cottage. P.S. Speaking of impromptu, John’s final addition looks rather staged but for Ab and I, we literally had NO CLUE it was coming and once Ab zoomed into the videos, we were dying 🤣🤣🤣 Oh John and his plants!
Ab here🖤… dropping in with a little update!! Ab here🖤… dropping in with a little update!! Watching old videos reminds me just how far this little house has come. My sweet dad helping me lay sub floor in the middle of summer after a long work day (which is just the TIP of the iceberg when it comes to the hours he put in on this house), the dance parties to keep from crying, and the bitter sweat memories of that year 💛 I have been DREAMING about this tub for quite some time, and @signaturehw brought all of those dreams to life.  I’m just so stinking thankful. It is seriously the most beautiful tub I’ve ever seen... So much so that we have another gorgeous copper tub, from Signature, going in this week at a clients house! Where are my girls, who love a moody space, at???🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️🖤
Let's chat hardwood flooring... beautiful, durable Let's chat hardwood flooring... beautiful, durable, pet friendly, kid approved, scratch-and-dent resistant, germ resistant, worry free and practically indestructible… hardwoods by @bruceflooring that have no added chemicals, are engineered for high traffic and have a commercial strength warranty. Yep, that option actually exists, and yes, it is made in the USA with 100% real hardwoods.  For all of the reasons listed above, I chose #Dogwood Engineered Hardwoods by #BruceFlooring in Sattler White Oak for our historic renovation and they turned out STUNNING! *TAP TO SEE THE FAMILY ROOM RENOVATION PROGRESSION* After once joking that I needed a hardwood flooring color that matched Cheerios crumbs, I've kind of stuck with that color-selection motto ever since, and they never disappoint! Lighter hardwoods (like this Dogwood by Bruce in Sattler White Oak) hide all the crumbs while keeping spaces light, bright and airy, (even with dark wall colors). Today on the blog, I’m sharing many more images and even more details! #sponsored
Who else loves pizelles??? I’ll be honest, these Who else loves pizelles??? I’ll be honest, these are a more recent discovery since marrying into an Italian family but they were an instant hit! They’re a traditional Italian waffle cookie that’s super easy to make with a CucinaPro Piccolo Pizzelle Baker and they can also be made into so much more… from ice cream sandwiches to cannolis! John’s favorite dessert is cannolis and this makes them super easy to make while Winnie loves a good ice cream sandwich and Addie and I usually go for the chocolate dipped with powdered sugar 😋 They’re incredibly simple and look way more impressive than the actual skill level which is perfect for me! 😉 Mix it up, press them cooked in 50 seconds and BOOM! Sharing the recipe and a few of our favorites ways to prepare them. P.S. the @Cucina.Pro pizelle baker is available on Amazon and I’ve linked it in my bio!

Simple White Hallway… BROUGHT TO LIFE ♥️ Wha Simple White Hallway… BROUGHT TO LIFE ♥️ What if quite possibly one of the most forgotten spaces in your home could become pure magic?!? After quite literally carving out this hallway amongst bedrooms for the new floor plan we gave our historic fixer-upper, I knew I wanted to make the new archer hallway a STAR! It’s the center of the entire home and can be viewed from pretty much every single room. First was the installation of this incredibly beautiful mural by @belartestudio last week and then today the three pendants I spray painted over the weekend. Who knew a hallway could be my favorite space in a home! 🥰 Linking the mural and the pendants on stories tonight!
When you fall in love with a mural and it inspires When you fall in love with a mural and it inspires an entire home 😍… Yep, one look at this @belartestudio landscape mural and the color story for our historic fixer upper came to life! Add in the fact that wallpapering together is mine and Ab’s friendship love language and it’s the project of our design dreams ♥️ Seriously though, you have GOT to see all of the @belartestudio beauties. We’ve already used several of their papers in design projects (sneak peeks at one will be on stories tomorrow!) and I keep trying to invent a use for one in our home too. They’re all STUNNING!!! P.S. Ab and her sound effects were ON POINT for this one! 🙌🏻🤣🥰
If our kiddos formed a band and needed an album co If our kiddos formed a band and needed an album cover 😉 Back in 2021, Ab @abigailbradl3y “took our kiddos to dinner” but instead snuck in the most incredible surprise photo shoot as a wedding gift. The images by @brianingramphoto were beyond STUNNING and we finally got around to framing and hanging one of my very favorites. Two years later 🤦🏻‍♀️ A true work of art that I will absolutely cherish forever and ever! Especially considering three of our four are off to college in what feels like no time 😭 P.S. All of the vases and florals are from @addisonswonderlandboutique and I’ve detailed and linked everything on the blog! Happy Weekend 💗💗💗
Already making a jot list of all the things that’ll get your kiddos off their devices and out the front door this Summer? I packed four Gel Blasters for Spring Break and they were a HIT! Kinda sorta almost more than the beach 🤦🏻‍♀️ Not even kidding when I say I think they went through more than 30,000 Gellets. In seven days. We loved them so much I got y’all a link (linked in my bio) and a discount code (BRITTANY10)! P.S. The Gellets are non-toxic and start to dehydrate after contact. Believe me… I wouldn’t have chanced messing up the backyard of our Spring Break Airbnb if they didn’t disappear quickly! #gelblaster #goplay #GelBlasterPartner
