Max's Room

I posted this picture today on Instagram, and a few photos with him in his room before that, and had a few ladies ask about Max's play table, chair, and bookshelf.

First off, this is my favorite room in my house! Mainly because i had full control over every decor decision! The other space in my home my husband and i had to 'compromise' with each other...ack! -_-

I posted his nursery last year, here...if you want to view more. I am actually in planning mode of redesigning it right now, not a drastic change, but little changes here and there. 

When i first planned his nursery, i knew it had to be budget friendly. I wanted good style that didn't break the bank. And who doesn't love IKEA's clean, modern, cheap decor? If i could, i'd live there and be happy forever! 

Anyways, i first got inspired when i saw a sale at pottery barn. It was the same length table, but as soon as i added to cart, SOLD OUT! Bummer. Now i was pregnant and moody and i knew i had to get that table somehow! 

Later that week i went to my sister's house, went to her room and just hung out. We watched tv and i noticed she was using this coffee table as a tv stand. And then a light goes off, THAT'S MY TABLE! It's simple and clean~

I knew what i wanted and went to IKEA to go grab one! I just didn't install the bottom shelf on the bottom cause i knew i wanted to add cute little kid's chair! Which is also from ikea! I also wanted this space to grow with Max. I imagined him one day drawing or reading books at the table, which is why i decided on adding the picture ledges to use as bookshelves! It's also the perfect width!

This space turned out exactly how i imagined/wanted it to come out! I'm so happy when i'm in his room! It's the perfect play space! 

I hope you found some inspiration in our room! And found the info was helpful for you to start planning your little ones space! :)

Redecorating the office!

If you personally know me, or follow me on instagram, you know how much i hate my office! I haven't actually worked in there for a good year now. I just hate going in there. Makes me too frustrated to work. And Sai of course does NOT understand why. As an artist, i need a space where i can feel inspired, where i can think, where i can get creative, and most of all work peacefully!

Before i lived with my hubby, i had all the freedom to decorate my space the way i wanted. But now since we are married and have gotten our first home together, i now have to compromise every lil decision with this dude! It gets a lil annoying (for both of us). I usually end up pissed and upset cause i can't get what i want. And it's not just ONE room. it's EVERY room in the house. Paint, furniture, tv, bedding, lights, and believe it or not...spoons. I am more artistic and he is more smarts...so we don't see eye to eye on things. It's frustrating...VERY frustrating... but through the years being together and married, we have somewhat figured out what we both like and don't like. So i am so glad he decided to let US decorate the office (he wouldn't let me before)! 

So basically i really can't stand this room cause it's orange. The color drives me nuts for some reason. And it was very unorganized and clustered.. i just want a nice clean airy space to work in! PLUS, we need a lil space in there for Max's play area. So we gotta make it work for all three of us! 

I'm liking everything so far. Even the paint color we both agreed on! Can't wait to get started! I have so many ideas going through my head! Will share photos when we are finished! ;D
