Not only do I want to share practical, realistic, and do-able ideas, but our family needs our projects to be those same things. But in recent months, my perspective has really started to shift. And I know some things I present here on the blog most people, especially renters, would never take on. Sure I planned ahead and made a few projects in the days leading up to the makeover itself, but the real victory with this makeover is how manageable it was.Īs a blogger, I will admit I sometimes get carried away with my room makeover ideas. Today, I want to pretty much focus on the room reveal itself, as I have another post in the works that details how I pulled off this room makeover in a single day. Although he loved the makeover when he walked in, I think he was more excited with how picked up and clean everything was! I added Lego artwork when I thought we were going in that direction but never followed through getting rid of all his old jungle-themed accessories.īy the time I actually got to work in here, you could barely walk. I put up a curtain rod but never added a curtain. Not only was pretty much every nook and cranny stuffed with toys, schoolwork, books, Legos, too small clothes, art projects and more…but we never fully committed to any kind of design. His room was not only lacking a theme and/or design, but had also become a complete disaster… He’s a keep-everything-and-anything kind of kid, and these before photos certainly reflect that. And since it took me so long to deliver, we all just kinda let his room go. As I said, I had been promising him a room makeover for a long time. I can’t believe I am even showing you these. It’s been a while since I’ve done a room reveal but let’s start where we always do: with the before photos! Yikes. He picked Star Wars, and I (mentally) committed to making it happen ASAP! He came home from his last day of Summer Camp to a brand new room, and I am so excited to share it with you all today! He didn’t know what was happening or when…I simply asked him if he wanted a Star Wars Bedroom or a Lego Bedroom. I decided then and there that I would makeover Henry’s room as a surprise. And beyond wanting a room so badly, he also deserved it: he’d been working hard all summer on his extra reading and writing practice, and we were just weeks away from Second Grade starting. I already had some things in mind and other supplies gathered. I knew exactly what projects Henry’s room needed to feel refreshed. I was totally inspired, and everything just clicked for me. Then one day toward the end of summer break, I was catching up on my good friend Karen’s blog and read all about how she pulled off a room makeover for her daughter in a single day. Every so often he would ask when he was getting his new room, and I’d always scramble for some excuse why I hadn’t gotten to it yet, feeling horrible every time. Over the months, I did add some new storage, created him a Lego station and even put some updated art in the frames but a full-blown makeover kept getting pushed further and further down the good ol’ To Do list. The scene is one of the standout comedy moments in The Force Awakens, recalling Alec Guinness’s Jedi mind tricks as Obi-Wan Kenobi in the original 1977 Star Wars and those of Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker in 1983’s Return of the Jedi.My sweet Henry has been asking for a “new room” practically since we moved in over 2 years ago. The segue is used to show the audience the young scavenger’s nascent Force powers: she tells the stormtrooper: “You will remove these restraints and leave this cell with the door open.” Craig (allegedly) initially replies: “I’ll tighten those restraints, scavenger scum,” but after Ridley focuses her Jedi skills and repeats the treaty, eventually responds: “I’ll remove these restraints and leave this cell with the door open”, before doing just that. Lee alleges Craig plays the First Order grunt sent to guard Daisy Ridley’s Rey in a scene on board a starship in the middle part of Abrams’ film. Stormtroopers arrive for the European premiere of Star Wars: The Force Awakens on Wednesday night in London’s Leicester Square.
