Happy Monday! It’s time for another Celebrate Your Story! Link party. This week, I also want to share some of the behind the scenes madness from last weeks Teen Room Reveal. Each week Our link party features 3 fabulous stories from the amazing bloggers who link up with us.
Celebrate Your Story! Link Party is hosted by Sandra from Sweet Sensations and Chloe from Celebrate & Decorate and Myself, Jenny here at Paint Yourself a Smile
Here is what is going on in the land of Paint Yourself a Smile…James’ room is finished!! The One Room Challenge has officially come to an end. It was a lot harder than it looked. In five weeks’ time I recreated the entire bedroom from the ground up with DIY projects! I was worried when on the due day, I was staring at a very incomplete room. Paintings weren’t finished, frames were still being built, nothing was hung in the room and there were a whole list of other issues that were still being worked out. Here is what it looked like.
The Night Before the Reveal Madness
The Day of the Reveal Madness
At one point I was wondering if I was going to lose the battle and have to wave the white flag in defeat. I alternated between episodes of tears and delirious laughter with the occasional appearance from DesignerZilla. (FYI DesignerZilla is the interior Design version of BrideZilla.) Surprisingly no one in my house likes DesignerZilla. I have no idea why? She is lovely. But thanks to help from my family it all got done. Check out the final product here!!!
Now on with the Link Party !!
