When Emily asked me to be her guest, I was thrilled! She is one of my favorite bloggers and I'm sure you guys feel the same!
Today I'm here to talk about my favorite room. It's funny because my favorite room is not really a room, but more like a space that I took possession of! It was an unused closet in my boys playroom! With little space in our house, I decided to put my computer in the closet and call it "My Space". The problem: it was uninspiring and too much like a closet!
So what did I do? I turned it into a space that was just for me! All girl (no boys allowed) and fun!
With a color palette of Brown, pink, green, and white, I was able to turn that same space into this:
Now, the space is a reflection of me! With a house that's full of the opposite sex, its nice to be able to have one "room" that I can call my own. The funniest part of the process was when I told my husband what I was doing, and his response was "yeah, okay. I don't know how that's going to work out". I wasn't sure either, but what I've realized is that you should never underestimate a DIY'er. Especially one who blogs and have their followers cheering them on!
Here is the link to learn more about the transformation of this space! And thanks again, Emily for allowing me fill in while you're away! Have fun on your vacation and make sure to take plenty of pictures!
Emily, thanks for having LaKeitha over to guest post. I've never really had the opportunity to see 'her' room prior to. Thanks again.
ReplyDeleteGreat use of space! I will always regret not buying the parsons knock off desk on overstock when I had the chance.
ReplyDeleteLakeitha, I love how you took a space (a closet of all places!!) and turned it into your own little hideout! I usually use my closet to hide from the kids...smile.
ReplyDeleteHusbands, what do they know!! If I could tell you the number of times I've heard this response when presenting an idea to mine...he's finally learned to trust me!! (And chime in his own opinion!)
ReplyDeleteYou made incredible use of this small space and I love that you filled it with YOUR colors!! Janell

Great job, Lakeitha! It's so important to have a space that's all yours -- even if it's just a closet. {Though that's one amazing looking closet...}
ReplyDeleteI love that color combo!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone for the comments! And Thank You, Emily, for allowing me to be your guest!
ReplyDeleteOh, and I saw on twitter about your 12hr drive home?! With the kids. Girl I'll take going to IKEA with mine any day over riding in a car with them for 12 hours!!! My kids aren't patient enough to go up the street to the park!
What a lovely transformation, thanks to Lakeitha for sharing it with us! I love the use of color in this space.
