An Update On The Schoolhouse Family | Tour

We spent the weekend at The School House getting it create for the transition inwards merely a duo of weeks.  I had planned to dutifully portion each measurement amongst you, but this projection has merely moved likewise fast!  I receive got taken all of the step-by-step photos every bit we've gone, thus don't worry, I'll larn dorsum too explicate how nosotros did everything at some point.  I know many of you lot are interested inwards how nosotros did the bead-board too peg entry means (favorite!) too how nosotros painted the kitchen cabinets (right over that manufactory finish!), thus I'll portion details later on - I promise.  *Keep reminding me, because this encephalon is a fleck overloaded at the moment.  Between getting the schoolhouse trace solid ready, working on the novel textile prints that are coming soon, too heading out for restrain break, I'm a footling overwhelmed.  In merely a duo of weeks, all of the extra run volition live worth it when nosotros motility the inventory hither to the schoolhouse trace solid too my real ain squad gets to work.  Can't wait!

Here is the entry means that nosotros modified slightly.  The bead-board was already here, thus nosotros added a peg rail at the order too midway.  This is the same handling nosotros receive got inwards our mudroom too I dearest all of the uses I receive got for the pegs.  Even when fully loaded, they seem to live charming.

We used Ben Moore Marble Canyon for the trim.  The walls were already a creamy white.  

There is something virtually creamy walls amongst a painted trim down that merely feels country.  I knew from the 2nd I walked inwards hither that I would produce this pigment scheme.

Now the i large room is feeling to a greater extent than similar a workspace after nosotros installed the shelving this weekend.  I searched high too depression for industrial shelving inwards a soft beige color that would compliment the pigment system (rather than a heavy dark grey).   I didn't desire dark too heavy shelving to weigh the infinite down.  I wanted it to yet experience fresh too light... fifty-fifty though it needed to live real hardworking too sturdy.  I finally flora it at Costco, here.  It would live perfect for a pantry, basement or garage.  

 

The oculus of the room is the packaging area.  This is where they'll packet the production too transportation boxes.  I'm waiting on the large long farm tabular array that goes inwards this area, too.  I'm looking forwards to using it for large projects too large meals or workshops!



This isle was a distressed light-green finish, but my mom painted it to agree the trim.  I intend I'm going supervene upon the pulls amongst something brass - perchance fifty-fifty driblet pulls similar these?

This is the sentiment looking reverse of the shelving.  I set the sofa expanse upward to live every bit cozy every bit possible, every bit I excogitation to role it every bit a backdrop for photos of novel products.  And its a pretty prissy interruption expanse for the crew : )

The sofa is covered inwards my novel collection of Check Pillow Covers, inwards Spa too Natural.  When I prepare a sofa, I e'er anchor the ends amongst ii 22" Squares, too thus ii 20" squares, accented amongst a rectangle.  If you lot don't desire your sofa sooo full, I would role 22" squares on the ends, too accent amongst i 20" foursquare or i rectangle.  These sizes are all available inwards my store too run perfectly amongst inserts from Ikea.  I role the 24" insert amongst the 22" covers to actually construct them plump too full.

The sofa is the Comfort English linguistic communication Roll Arm Sleeper Sofa from Pottery Barn in Brushed Canvas Natural.  We ordered the sleeper sofa thus nosotros tin pass the dark out hither when nosotros want!  We've stayed several times this lastly calendar month spell its been a blank slate, but I'm non certain how it volition experience after all of the inventory moves in.

I wanted something unlike for inwards a higher identify the sofa, but of course, something that I could transition easily.  So, instead of i large slice of artwork, I opted for a gallery of 8 Gold Leaf Frames.  I dearest how graphic, yet nostalgic this collection of profiles feel.  I'm non quite certain I receive got the mats correct yet, or perchance I demand to construct the background of the profiles creamier?  

When I larn the expect perfected, I'll receive got them available inwards my store.

Love these classic, soft too airy checks.  The character of the novel stitching is thus nice!

Check Pillow Covers, hither >

I came across this tabular array lastly calendar week at Nell Hills inwards Kansas City.  I had to receive got it too had to construct a identify for it.  As you lot tin imagine, you'll live seeing this sentiment a lot moving forward.  I excogitation to swap out the light too the shade amongst each flavour to modify the look.  I'm also finally trying my manus at roofing the shade amongst a block impress fabric.  I'll live certain to share.

Mr. approved.

The lite is thus pretty hither - from those large giant windows.

The large handbasket torso is from Gilt.  It holds our bedding for our overnight stays too is a neat scale too color (for a neat price!).  

In the desk area, I'm using our sometime dining room tabular array (it has had quite a life!) amongst i of our RH fly dining chairs.  I receive got i inwards my component at home, thus it is plumbing equipment that I moved i here, too.  And after I flora the 6 Windsor chairs lastly fall, we're alluvion amongst dining chairs at home.  It is the perfect comfy, structural slice for this desk.

I flora the cork boards at Home Goods too painted the frames to agree the trim down paint.  The file cabinet is forest (it yet needs pulls!), too I also painted it to agree the trim... That was sort of my default for this project.  With thus many elements collected, if it had an unnatural finish, it got painted.  It helped to construct everything that was mix too matched to larn together.

I tried to construct certain that all of our office-y supplies felt "cute" likewise - why not?  Why larn a dark printer when you lot tin larn a white one?  This lovely brass occupation light was some other discovery at Nell Hills.

We are using the "House" Stationery every bit the trace solid stationery at The School House.  This is the large tablet.  I pose the grayness LePens + sometime fashioned pencils in my Creamware Creamers, which paired thus nicely amongst this creamy Target lamp.  The 3 of them seem similar a set.

I framed some of my Botanical Prints inwards this area.  They are 5x7 prints inwards 8x10 frames.  I brought the French Cream photograph mats amongst me, but am thinking the Natural Cream volition run improve too seem a footling crisper.

This is Emm's desk expanse that she's real thrilled about.  I cleaned it upward a fleck for this photo, but it volition presently live filled amongst lots of treasures, made too found.

Speaking of flora treasures.  How neat are theses chairs?  I flora 3 of them inwards Lexington this weekend, too tracked downward the buyer of the other 3 (gotta dearest a pocket-size town).  I'm hoping she'll sell them to me thus I tin receive got the entire set of 6 to pose around our large farm tabular array coming in.  They are merely the perfect scale, patina too shape.

Mike's mom brought us this oversized crock - dearest it!

 Here is a novel impress that volition live available inwards store soon.

Back to the hardest working component of the room.  I can't hold off to deck these out amongst bins too baskets of inventory too supplies.

As I mentioned above, I flora these shelves at Costco, here.

Now into the kitchen!  If you've followed along on Instagram, you lot saw the procedure of selecting the pigment color for the cabinets.  They were manufactory finished amongst a dark stain when nosotros purchased the schoolhouse house.  But they were prissy too novel cabinets, thus nosotros wanted to construct certain nosotros didn't waste matter them.

We ended upward icon them Ben Moore Puritan Grey - cheers to Tessa at nineandsixteen for helping me narrow downward - too the clit per unit of measurement area ;)   I took these photos at the incorrect fourth dimension of twenty-four hr menstruum too the huge windows are overexposing everything.  I'll produce a proper kitchen postal service amongst actually pretty photos inwards the futurity too details of everything.

We dearest the color too how they turned out!  I added a slice of furniture base of operations to the cabinets too shaker pulls to give them that province experience nosotros were after.  I selected a real unproblematic faucet amongst porcelain handles to larn inwards experience real utilitarian inwards hither - a truthful province kitchen.

We replaced the counters amongst novel forest tops from Ikea.

It is merely the matter to warm upward the blue grayness cabinetry too larn inwards experience real charming.

We dearest this room thus much!  I can't hold off to walk you lot through the procedure because it was thus tardily too inexpensive.  This room is completely transformed from what it was.  These are the form of DIY projects I dearest : )

We added some other peg rail to each wall for to a greater extent than utilitarian storage too that shaker expect I love.

This is the master copy library of the school.

Can you lot even?  It is merely thus charming.

Can you lot believe this is the breakroom?!  I produce hope to host some opened upward houses too workshops here, thus visitors volition larn to experience the space, too.  We'll belike host i this summer... hopefully! 

That's all for now!  I promise, i time nosotros larn this upward too running, I'll accept fifty-fifty prettier photos too walk you lot through all of the projects step-by-step.
