Reader Redesign: What’s Black, White & Purple All Over?

Last fall we featured a redesign that Nancy did for her son Owen. Well, she’s back with another awesome room makeover… but this time it was for another family with a great story. Here’s her letter:

Hi John and Sherry! A while back, I entered the contest Creating with the Stars hosted by East Coast Creative, and I was teamed up with Kari from U-Create. I had the wonderful opportunity to makeover a space for a couple who have been trying for over ten years to get pregnant. Accepting this may never become a reality, they are in a foster to adopt program and are adopting three siblings. KK is the youngest out of the three and the family will be able to adopt their children in February! I made over one of the couple’s guest bedrooms into a space for KK as part of my entry for the contest. I did not let my elimination in Round 3 stop me from finishing Round 4, and I’m so glad I continued on!

Owens Before

Owens After

I’m a huge fan of white and black in home decor, but I decided to have some fun and add lots of color and prints! This was such a fun makeover, I didn’t want to leave when it was done.

Owens Wall

Originally, I wanted to use fabric on the wall.  Namely, Ikea’s black, white, and green bird print that is no longer sold in stores, but I wasn’t aware of that until I went to the store. So I decided to use a projector and six Sharpies instead. I traced some of the pattern on the wall. Instead of copying it exactly the way it was on the yardage, I moved pieces around and traced what I liked where I wanted them to go. It was fairly easy, although it did take a toll on my wrist and shoulder. But the result was completely worth it!

There aren’t too many personal touches in the space yet (I’m one who likes to sew and create things with my hands) but leaving room for that allows KK to add her own personality to the space when she comes home.

 Hope you guys enjoy it too!  – xo, Nancy

Owens Details

There are tons of pictures of this playful space for KK over on U-Create’s blog, but be sure to also swing by Nancy’s for a full source list and some more details on the $5 “wallpaper” treatment she created. Thanks for sharing such a sweet room (for a very sweet cause) Nancy! And in the “what’s your favorite part?” column, Sherry’s loving the homemade wallpaper and the purple bed while I’m all over those planked walls and the painted ceiling.

    I love this so much I did one of those audible gasps when I saw the first makeover picture :-) love everything! We are currently expecting but don’t know the gender yet, so if it is a girl, this is TOTALLY the inspiration room! I could totally continue to gush, but I’ll shut up now :-)

    I love this room makeover. I think it shows you just what you can do with a small amount of bold colour. I also LOVE the idea of projecting images and tracing them on the wall. That is so clever and creates a nice unique look for the room. Well done. I cant’ wait to try and apply these ideas to my next home bedroom reno!

    I love the use of simple pops of colour in this space. I think it goes to show you can do a lot when you keep the big elements basic. I also am drooling over that brilliant stencil idea. What a low cost high impact project!
    can’t wait to use some of this inspiration in my next room reno!

    I remember seeing this somewhere – through a link on Apartment Therapy or one of my other favorite blogs. :)

    This room is simply wonderful – sweet, inviting, and not so overdone that a little girl can’t put her personal touches on the room. What a lovely and loving room for her to join her new family (and to welcome her siblings into – although there might be tussles about how many can sit in the comfy chair).

    Nancy – will you be designing a room for KK’s siblings? If so, I would love to see it!!

    This is incredible! Love the idea of homemade “wallpaper”—those results are definitely worth a sore wrist. I love how it’s primarily white, but so layered with texture that it feels rich and full in the room, not sterile like so many people think of white as being.

      I actually found out by accident that the fat sharpie marker stains the wall. :/ You can see that in the photo above where it’s pink underneath the black images, whereas the regular Sharpie size marker doesn’t do that. Weird, I know. BUT I did find out that painting over it was really easy. No primer needed, although it may cut it down to one coat, but I did have to use a few coats (3?) to get it back to white.

      And yes! The home owner said she wanted give KK a few colors to fill in a few spots if she wanted.

    You guys are following in my footsteps lately…first painting windows and now ripping up old stair carpet. We went one step further (after the fun of tearing up the dusty carpet and padding, prying up the tack strip & painstakingly removing all bazillion staples w/my amazing 14 yr old daughter’s help!) and tore out the whole staircase (two actually as we did the basement staircase also!)…and then awesome husband got to build two new wonderfully straight (as opposed to awkward & turned) staircases. Summer of ’13 was a wild ride around here! ????

    I know you will give your standard answer of “we’ve always used this formula/this is what got us here….” but Ive been really disappointed in your content lately. Reader Redesigns AND reader dilemmas?! and where did weekly crafty go? That last what? 4 weeks…. I understand you are busy but I mean, so is everyone. I am just wondering if you are not treating the blog as #1 anymore? (I really ask that, I am not trying to be a Debbie downer or rain on your parade. Ive just been a faithful reader since “This Young House”- I could understand that natural progression of you moving on to bigger and better..) The one “DIY” post you posted this morning left us hanging… no runner reveal?!

      I’m sorry you feel that way Katie! Weekly crafty is on Thursdays now (we did that last week too!) so that’s coming up for you tomorrow! For the last 3 yrs of doing this full time, our average has been sharing 2 projects a week – both big and small – so we’ve always had other posts in the mix (like Reader Redesigns, Design Dilemmas, Budget Blooms, Window Shopping, random family updates, etc). Those two projects a week aren’t always reveals (our kitchen makeovers are usually shared over 100+ posts and even upholstering a headboard was two posts) so sometimes an area like a stairway that requires many steps might be broken up into a few posts as we go. Today’s prep process took 10 hrs, but if it had taken 3 we could have completed the project and posted about it today – that’s just not always how the DIY cookie crumbles. For years we’ve heard from people who say they wish we moved slower since it makes them feel bad and others who say we should move faster to be more entertaining. From our end, it feels like we’ve been doing a ton of projects lately (last week we shared 3, so that’s more than our average, even with a Reader Dilemma & Reader Redesign in there) and this week we’ll be sharing 3 as well (it’s only Wednesday). I know it’s probably impossible to change your mind, but if you scroll through our archives from 2011 (when we were both full time bloggers) it’s amazing what we posted about then: mushrooms in the yard, a video of Clara playing on the floor, weird dreams, etc.

      Your comment just made me almost cry. I was reading through the comments on this room post (and I usually don’t read through comments) and yours is so negative amongst all the rave reviews. I feel lucky to read every post Sherry and John take time to create for us. We don’t pay them and they don’t owe us anything, they can do whatever they really want on their blog and you’re right – it has worked for them. I hope you take the time to look at what Sherry said they have done lately because they have been showing us great things even though they are busy and she is pregnant.

      A mix of content is fine by me. Big, time-consuming projects (the veranda) and smaller afternoon crafts. I also like the guest posts from other readers who have their own projects (love the one posted today about the room makeover for the foster child), and I welcome the house crashes, too. And let’s not forget that blog content is FREE, so, really, what’s to complain about?

      Personally, I don’t know how John and Sherry manage to get all the home projects and blogging done that they DO churn out, especially given that they read all the blog comments, have other professional commitments and are the parents of one young child and they have another one on the way. Just thinking about all they do makes me tired and I’m not even the one who’s pregnant.

    I absolutely loved this makeover and I don’t think in a million years anyone would ever want to paint over those gorgeous walls, however I do want to share my experience with sharpies. The sharpie will forever bleed through new coats of paint, no matter how many times you try to paint over it. I am assuming primer will resolve that, however I have not tried this yet.

    Michaels sells really great acrylic paint pens that might be a better solution than the sharpie.

    My favorites are the planked wall, the painted wall, and the darker ceiling. Oh my…so many good ideas in there!

    Thank you to all the YHL readers who have commented so far. I still think YHL readers are some of the best blog readers out there. Thank you to YHL for featuring the room. And a special thank you to Mandi Gubler from http://www.vintagerevivals.com for being an inspiration to the DIY community. You all are the best! The family is doing well, and they will officially have the kids for good early next year.

      Thanks Katie! I had a rough tummy today, but the pukiness stopped around this time with Clara so I’m hoping it’s one of those “last hurrah” things and then it’ll fade away. Positive thinking!
