A longhorn Locker Room for my Moose

After redoing Holden's bedroom I decided we needed to do his bathroom too. My husband always love when that happens. :) I am pretty pleased with how it turned out.
First the door-







Then we needed a new sink. This tiny bathroom had a HUGE vanity so we opted for a pedestal sink.





Of course since it is "Moose's Locker Room" we had to add some football touches. :) I had this old helmet I bought at a garage sale for $3.00. It was blue and red, but with some spray paint and a little vinyl I think it turned out AWESOME!!!! Yes I am pretty pleased with myself, but nothing compared to Holden who now thinks I can move mountains. LOL



The final touch was a "locker". My hubby and I put our heads together and he got out all his magic tools and this is what we came up with. I of course supplied the paint and vinyl. ;)







The final touch was some encouraging words from a coach. Our high school football team
(love those Permian Panthers) have these 16 Steps of a Champion on the way into their locker room. I loved them and thought they needed to be included in our locker room too.

Never underestimate your opponent.
Work on your weaknesses until they become your strong points.
Remember that a great effort is usually the result of a great attitude.
Dedicate yourself to a mighty purpose.
Win with humility; lose with grace.
Ignore those who discourage you.
Work to improve your moral and spiritual strengths as well as your physical ones.
Remember that how you conduct yourself off the field is just as important as how you conduct yourself on the field.
Talent is God-given — be humble. Fame is man-given — be thankful. Conceit is self-given — be careful.
Don’t ask to be deprived of tension and discipline — these are the tools that shape success.
Do what has to be done, when it has to be done, as well as it can be done.
Remember when you’re not working to improve, your competition is.
ALWAYS GIVE YOUR BEST.
PRACTICE LIKE A CHAMPION!
PLAY LIKE A CHAMPION!
LIVE LIKE A CHAMPION!



I loved how it all turned out, and Holden was just thrilled. So this is a home makeover success. :)

Valentine Fun

Love is in the air. The very very frozen air.




I have been having so much fun with all the great ideas on everyones blog lately. I even came up with a few of my own. Having all boys it's hard to make things for Valentine's that aren't... GiRlY... eeeewwww I said it. LOL I did insist on a few girly things, but check out Holden's mailbox. He was thrilled with it and there is no pink to be found. Enjoy!




































Sam had fun sorting out the broken or messed up ones. Mostly because he could eat them. :)







How about a little Longhorn love???
This box was fun to make. I found it at Hobby Lobby and let Holden paint it white. Then I cut out the phrases and images in vinyl on my cricut. It was rather simple but he was thrilled with how it turned out.

`A new room for Holden



Okay I know I am a bad mom. I started working on Holden's room about a year ago. We had a great plan. I just wasn't too sure how to execute it. hmmm. So his room remained unfinished for quite a while. Well fast forward a few months. I got my cricut and yet I still wasn't sure what to do with his room. Through some research, I found sure cuts a lot software to go along with my cricut. Now I could cut anything with my cricut if I could turn it into a scal file. So I made a few fun football helmets for his wall, and did a great makeover on his celling fan. I just love this software!!!!


















I have also decided to include scripture in each of the rooms of my house so here is Holden's verse.
