Hey, everyone–this is Jason again! I thought I would drop in to show you all an overview for how we built Jamie’s art space. You can view last week’s post on that with lots of finished shots here: An Art Space For Jamie’s Playoom. We don’t have a traditional step-by-step tutorial for this project, as we ended up making some decisions, changes, and adjustments on the fly.
As a part of their recent playroom remodel, Jamie and Josh wanted to make an interesting art space where their girls could draw, color, and do little crafts and projects. Jamie found a few things online and in magazines to use as inspiration, listed her “demands,” and I got to sketching/doodling some rough plans!
You could say this week’s project was a bit of a team effort, as I (Jason) had a lot of help from Jamie and her husband Josh! Jamie had been wanting a window seat to fit between the two bookshelves in their master bedroom for a little while now, and I figured it was something I could probably complete on my own without much trouble.
Here’s a look at our autumn sunroom at Bluestone Hill! If you’ve been following along for a while, you might have noticed the large framed Gettysburg print that was our great great uncle’s, because it’s made the rounds around the house. I play musical art, which is a nice, free way to change up a room.
When my husband and I lived in our first house, my brother used to claim that we had painted every room 5 times. (He had a little room to complain, since he helped paint a few of the rooms and some siding…and I accidentally dumped a can of outdoor paint all over him and ruined his shirt.) While this is a gross exaggeration, there is truth in the fact that I have a difficult time making a decision and sticking with it.
While this back hallway isn’t the biggest makeover we’ve done here, it was definitely the cheapest! Other than floor paint (I used a leftover can of paint on the walls), the only expenses were the wall hooks and the antlers. The rug, which I just borrowed for photos, is my parents’.
