We're finally getting around to renovating our 4th bedroom, which until now has been used for dogs and storage. I've been waffling between giving Carson his own room (he & Cole share a room, but its a monstrous room - 18x24 I think - with 2 walk-in closets) or making it a playroom. The playroom idea won out.
While the boys and I were in Texas this past week, my mother-in-law came and did my painting for me. I decided to go with a John Deere theme since the boys love tractors, farm equipment, & construction equipment, specifically that made by John Deere.
I've found some awesome stuff on Etsy to go along with the things we already have, but I hit a major roadblock looking for a rug. So I checked Hobby Lobby, which had an awesome looking green tractor latch-hook rug kit. Thanks to 40% off coupons, I bought 2. Now I have to make them. I used to do lots of cross-stitching, and I loved helping my MawMaw with her ceramics, so I do have a toe in the crafting waters. But that's about it. LOL
Has anyone else done any latch-hook projects? Does it take a long time?
The room in its early stage (& yes, those are the EXACT shade of John Deere green & yellow as used on their tractors ):
I've got to go looking at carpet this week, finish painting the armoire (for tv, games, etc.) and trash can, put decals on the trash can (wooden from Hobby Lobby), put up the new ceiling fan, and order three beanbag chairs. I can't wait to start decorating.
