mudroom update and a chalkboard wall

It's been almost an entire year since we built our mudroom and let me tell you that room is a life saver! BEST DECISION EVER! You can see the original reveal here.

I've been happy with the room, but last week decided to give it a minor face lift. I swapped out the artwork over the shelf. I painted one wall with chalkboard paint. Set up a command center with a spot for all the kids homework and papers, and lastly painted the door blue (the door was black but next to the new chalkboard wall it made the tiny space too dark). 

It was really hard to get good photos of the space since it's so small, but here is what it looks like now.







If you follow me on instagram you've seen that my kids have already put some finishing touches on the chalkboard wall!

Thanks for stopping by!

winter shelf display

Hope you all had a wonderful holiday! I took the last couple of weeks off to spend with my family, but I'm ready to get back in the swing of things!

I usually change out the decor on my little shelf in our foyer to match the seasons. I meant to share my winter themed shelf weeks ago, but never got around to it. At the time I was excited about winter and snow days with the kiddos, but now I'm over all the snow, below freezing temps, and my kids have already had six snow days from school. Better late then never I guess.




I used things that I already had except the large snowflakes that I found at the Dollar Tree and the chalkboard printable I found on Pinterest (I thought I pinned the source, but now I can't find it).

I'm looking forward to changing it out for spring already!

Have a great day and stay warm!
