Letter Board Fun

I'm sure I'm behind the trend in letter boards.

I would see them on blogs and Instagram photos and I really wanted one for myself but they were too pricey for a decor trend.

I found this one at Walmart for less than $10 and I was sold!

I found the larger letters at Joanne Fabrics.

Having it up around the holidays was a lot of fun.

It's also a great prop for photo shoots.

Are you on the letter board train?

{The Abode} Small Space Bed Solution

Even though Miss New York doesn't live with us, we still have most of her belongings in her "old" room for when she visits.

To see how the room last looked, click here.

The room has built in Ikea cabinetry and it had an Ikea bed that fit perfectly in the nook the cabinetry created. The bed was always difficult to make and was a real shin killer too (SHARP edges). It eventually broke and we needed a replacement.

We looked for a futon but they were all too long. I researched small sofa beds and most of them were twin beds, we wanted to keep the bed a full/queen.

Ikea to the rescue with this Lycksele Lovas sleeper sofa.

It's a cute love seat when it's folded up and a full size bed when opened. There are a few washable cover options to choose from and we went with the Rasta white. It fits perfectly in the cabinet nook and gives us lots more floor space.

Here's the view looking from the sofa bed. There are mirrored cabinets on the other wall as well as a desk and shelves.

Even with the bed open, there's more floor space. We added a feather mattress topper to the Ikea mattress and are able to use her old bedding on the new bed. What do you think?

{Project 52} Weeks 44 - 52

I'm done! Another year, another Project 52! This year has given me so many opportunities to grow my photography business and many of these images are from photo sessions with clients. I can't wait to see what 2018 has in store for my camera and me.
