    Pirate Themed Bedroom Transformation {Knock It Off}

    For this makeover, we had a little boy that loved Pirates of the Caribbean (I love it too, but probably more for Johnny Depp than the actual movie! Ha!) He wanted a bedroom that was fit for a pirate, so we quickly decided to transform this room into a bunk on The Black Pearl! Two days, and lot DIY projects later we had ourselves a pirate ship!

    The tricky thing with any themed room is the fact that kids grow out of things quickly. Who knows, next year it might be space aliens! We wanted to create a room that felt authentically like a pirate ship, but also could grow with Jack.

    The nautical elements in this room are classic and could easily be swapped out to whatever his next phase is. For now it's all pirate!! Garrr!!
    Here's some before an after action for ya! Before

    Fab Find{s} Friday

    It's been a while since our last Fab Find Friday, (we haven't done one since November!), but we figured the Summer was a great time to reinstate it. We say this over and over again, but there are some amazingly talented people out there in the world, and we thought we would share their stuff with you! Here are five awesome projects for you:

    Jenna Sue Sunroom Reveal is just breathtaking. She and her husband basically gutted the room and DIY-ed project after project to complete this stunning transformation. {Love}

    Our friend Janena from SAS Interiors just completed a Stairway Makeover, and it majorly changes the look of her home. Her blog is chock full of great interior design info and DIY projects, so stop over and stay awhile.

    Want to see a major statement wall? Take a look at this Reclaimed Wood EAT Sign by Sweet Pickins
    It's so much fun, and it goes without saying that we love us some reclaimed wood.

    Layla killed it again with her Summer Mantel. That girl has talent.

    This one's for the kids! I totally dig these Bottle Top Stamps by Vanessa's Values using bottle tops (duh!) and foam stickers. A fun project for a rainy summer day (we've had our fair share of them this summer, haven't we?).

    That's it for our Fab Find Friday roundup. Any fun projects/ideas/tips you've come across recently?

    Have a great weekend, folks!
