    Entries in super hero's bedroom (18)

    Lack Table Lookalike?

    Yesterday I went to Target to get paper towels, and left with an over flowing shopping cart full of stuff that I wanted needed.

    I’ve been debating bedside tables for my super hero’s bedroom, and decided to look around the furniture section at Target to see if they had anything affordable that would fill the space.

    I was about to leave when I came across this little table. It was only $15!

    So I tossed it into my already loaded chopping cart.

    P9071773

    It came wrapped in plastic and the legs come with screws attached.

    P9071774

    So like the sticker on the front says, “no tools needed!”

    P9071776

    It really isn’t a complicated assembly project, so it was up and in use in under 5 minutes.

    It has a max load capacity of 48 pounds according to the directions, which I personally don’t believe. It’s very light, and although it is sturdy, I’d be nervous if my little one (at 36 pounds) decided to stand on it for too long.

    Overall, for 15 dollars, it is pretty much what I expected it to be. There are a few spots where the faux wood strips are already starting to peel back, and I’m not sure if that’s because I wasn’t careful about the one that I chose, but regardless, I don’t expect this to last long. Maybe a year or 2, and that isn’t bed for the price. For the moment though, it does what I need it to do, and it’s kinda cute.

    That’s all for now. Talk to you in the next one!

    Room Reveal: Partially Finished

    Here is the progress I’ve made in the super hero’s bedroom. I decided to take pictures while it was clean, but as soon as I entered, so did my lovely little mess maker.

    So, on my to do list:

    P9021752

    - add a rug

    P9021753

    - build or buy a nightstand

    - paint walls

    P9021754

    - remove the Buzz Lightyear stickers

    - make and hang some art (super hero squad characters were requested)

    P9021757

    - paint the inside of the cabinet…or maybe not…well probably not

    P9021755

    - add more toy storage and get rid of more toys

    P9021758

    - add some type of a window treatment

    P9021759

    - write on the calendar

    P9021765

    - play with my little boy

    I actually crossed the last two items off before I posted this. I got to be Superman and beat Batman in a race. Yup. What did you accomplish this morning?

    That is all. Talk to you in the next one!

    Starting to take shape

    P9021745

    This room has come a long way since we first moved in. I have to say, I’m happy with the progress that I’ve made. I still have a way to go, but I think I’m beyond the halfway finished point now. And then, on to my bedroom…(cue thunder, lightning and scary horror music.)

    This is just a sneak peek. I’ll do a more in depth reveal of the progress tomorrow. Goodbye until then!
