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!!!

IN PROGRESS…

Gotta leave the house with a good cup of coffee AN Gotta leave the house with a good cup of coffee AND a beautifully made bed? ME TOO!!! 🙋🏻‍♀️ A few days ago on stories I was chatting about how huge, fluffy pillow inserts can MAKE a pillow sham! I feel the same about a comforter or duvet insert too. Layers and fluff make all the difference 🥰 P.S. My personal fave… @brooklinen is having a HUGE SALE so I linked it in my bio. Not sponsored… just love it and sharing. Happy Weekend!!!!!!

Is your house still recovering from all of the gli Is your house still recovering from all of the glitter, snow and pine needles? Don’t worry… you have one whole month until the next Holiday! 🤣 We’ve been through one too many stik vacuums over the last few years but between the lack of suction and the inability to stand up on their own, they’ve all driven me CRAZY!!! Last Fall we got the Brand New @hoover Emerge Stik Vacuum and immediately ordered one for my boutique and our cabin! It is LIGHT YEARS better than any we’ve tried so happy to say… our hunt is over! P.S. It also converts into a hand vacuum with attachments for everything from vacuuming out your car to cleaning your baseboards! #HooverPartner
The perfect addition… to cozy up your kitchen ♥️ One thing about these rails is that although they are often thought of as something you hang over a stove, you can actually hang them most anywhere in your kitchen. Almost any backsplash spot, a side wall or even over a console. I actually love when people double them up and hang tons of pots and pans! P.S. If you are worried about things getting dirty over your stove, simply hang items you use often and they’ll make their way through the cleaning cycle quite a bit. Even this little basket can be thrown into the wash 🥰 Everything is linked on today’s blog post and right here…
I know… I know… Christmas 2022 is well in the I know… I know… Christmas 2022 is well in the books BUT I did have four unexpected surgeries in December so technically I feel like I should have four extra weeks of Holiday shares… right?!? 😉 But I’ll leave it at one… AND technically it isn’t mine so I’m just bragging on my girl Ab 🥰 Hehe I’ll stop blabbing and leave y’all with a peek at Ab’s beautiful Holiday home she shared on the blog a few weeks back (linked in bio). If you want to see more of Ab AND more AW design, pop over and follow our new “behind the AW design scenes” page she’s running… @keepingupwith_aw ♥️ We also have some big news about Ab and her role with AW but I’ll save that for later too. WHEW! I think I’m done now. Goodnight friends!!!
