When to start decorating a nursery
Decorating Baby Boy's Nursery! DIY Wallpaper
[Music]
good morning the morning how long and
downstairs right now in the basement
waiting for Jordan Jordan y'all loves to
procrastinate he's been progressing
meeting all morning who do we need to do
a little intro and outro for a podcast
that we recorded last month with someone
from compassion and so we need to like
do the intro and outro portion of it
excuse me I'm vlogging and you're
distracting so I'm just waiting for him
on that while I've been waiting for him
I've been looking at my website and I
cannot get over how many of you have
been doing the Bible study and it makes
me so it's stinking excited I'm actually
gonna start working on a new one right
now the next one I do will be longer
though I was thinking of doing a 14 day
study because as much as I love a seven
day study I feel like it's perfect as
like an introductory like a little intro
if you've never done a devotional before
like I feel like that the Routh study
that I did is like the perfect way to do
it because it's very simple it's free
shorts very sweet there's like no
pressure on it I feel like it was a
really good intro but for those of us
who do want to dive a little bit deeper
and like continue this pattern and
continue the habit of reading our Bibles
every morning and everything I feel like
a 14 day study is really good for that
and a book that's a little bit longer so
the Book of Ruth is only four chapters
which is extremely short I don't think
it's a shortest book of the Bible but
four is not that many like you could
literally read it in 10 minutes so the
next one that I want to do is some camp
doing 14 days and then possibly in the
future even do a 30 day obviously those
will take a lot longer like it's gonna
take me double the amount of time that
it took for me to do the Book of Ruth so
I'm not even gonna put a date on that or
even say one that's gonna be released I
shouldn't have even told you guys that
I'm gonna be starting on it so that's
just a little spoiler a little tea
of what I have been thinking about and
wants to be doing but today I'm so
excited because we're gonna be doing
baby boys of nursery so I originally
wanted to get wallpaper to put on one of
the walls in his room which is where the
daybed is gonna be but then I was like
let me try to DIY it because I've never
done wallpaper before and honestly I
wasn't really finding anything that I
was like obsessed with but I was finding
really cute graphics and really cute
like wall designs that I had seen people
have done and have like di wide so I was
like I wanna try so I'm gonna try that
today I don't know how it's gonna go cuz
I'm honestly not like super artistic
especially when it comes to like a big
wall and I'm gonna be drawing the same
thing over and over again so it's
basically gonna be like a mud cloth
pattern and my theme in his room is
neutrals obviously but then I wanted to
incorporate some greens like a sage
green olive e.type green in order to do
that I wanted the mud cloth pattern to
be kind of brown like a topi dark not
too dark not too like I don't know it's
gonna it's gonna be hard picking out a
color because I can't go to the store
only Jordan cancer he's gonna have to
FaceTime me and he's gonna have to show
me through FaceTime so it's gonna be a
bit of a struggle to figure that out but
yeah that's kind of the theme I'm going
for okay where the heck is Jordan yeah
okay shower today
welcome welcome mr. procrastinators I
needed to clear the paper jam out of the
printer then somebody created
I wasn't saying they're saying it was
somebody mmm all right so we are
about to record as an intern outro of
great internet show yeah we had
compassion international come actually
to our house to record a podcast episode
and we had a representative we've been
in contact with really sweet gal and an
alumni actually so this guy was a
sponsored child back when he was young
and graduated the sponsorship program
and then basically had to apply and jump
through all these hoops and show himself
like an outstanding applicant for
compassion to sponsor him to come to the
United States disc to study ministry and
he's currently at Moody Bible Institute
or did he graduate no he's still there
I'm still so stinking cool to hear an
experience of a child now child anymore
he's like in his 40s like he was one of
like the first round of children to go
through compassion so it was so cool to
hear how like compassion directly
impacted his life it's an experience
like you don't hear that you hear of
more people who sponsor other children
and like they share oh I was really
impactful for me or I got to go visit my
sponsor children in their country or
whatever but this was a whole different
experience where we got to hear from him
and just the difference compassion made
in his life and having a sponsor in his
life so we're like we got to hear from
this guy we want to well I hear his
story so we had him come over and we
recorded an episode and we didn't want
to worry about like doing an intro and
edit things to make it sound nice yeah
so we're like let's just hear from him
and we'll go back in later and add in
whatever we have to add in to make it
like a full episode yeah so cool I can't
wait for you guys to hear so say it
started start pressing this yes but
before we jump in we want to thank
literati for sponsoring this episode
say it say it won't ever just okay yes
and before we jump in no we would like
to thank lugar
literati how do you you know say it
three times I do said it literati I know
be gonna say before we jump in we and
before we jump and we would like to
think literati for sponsoring today's
video or today's episode episode all

she gives the baby what some is the
worst what does a cow make the sounds
are coming are you blogging the camera
are you blogging you should bug your day
with your mom just got a package oh oh
it is oh thank you help me my belly's
big honey you got me this is heavy honey
what the heck did I order monthly order
right okay so I've been ordering from
thrive for feel like a year and a half
now maybe two years I don't know I like
first and you got introducing them a
while back it's an online membership
based market so you can get everything
that you can find in stores all like
organic stuff to embers get 25 to 50%
off the normal retail price so it just
makes so much more sense to order on
here but let me show you guys what I got
so I normally get like the same things
every time from them I needed to just
stock up on a couple of things so I love
their olive oil and then I buy this salt
I don't know because I've ever heard of
it it's called Celtic sea salt my whole
with my holistic doctor is one that told
me about this salt because most felt
that like normal table salt doesn't
actually have any minerals or anything
in it and this stuff has like so many
good ingredients in it so I was able to
find it on thrive
I got it in this form and then in future
I also got it yeah I also got it in this
form where you can just like easily pour
it onto your food and stuffs I also got
some matcha I wanted to try this I have
seen so many people making really yummy
matcha and it like I don't know it just
looks so pretty and I kind of wanted to
try it out so I got this it's
unsweetened green tea powder but we love
it so much especially since I have more
of a restrictive diet it's so easy to
just go onto their website and shop
through my diet if you guys are doing
paleo or if you're gluten-free
dairy-free vegan they have all those
options for you so I think it's so
stinking convenient and they have it the
best brand ever as well so not only do
they have food stuff but they also have
like spice stuff so I actually get my
essential oils from them I just ran out
of peppermint I always get peppermint
and eucalyptus those are like the ones I
always have but I also get like my spa
stuff from there too I buy these
magnesium flakes from them that is so
good because you guys know I love my
bath time so I'll only get on my spa
stuff from them but I just need to smell
this because and something that I think
is really cool right now with everything
that's going on is they still are
working 24/7 to ensure that people are
able to get their essentials but they're
still maintaining their commitment to
carbon neutrality and fair practices
with their warehouse team which i think
is really cool so so making sure to stay
in stock in essential pieces and stuff
which I was very excited to find because
with my gluten-free bread it's very hard
to find in stores they're the only ones
I currently had it so I was very excited
about that if you guys are also
interested they have two different
membership options you could do a
monthly membership or you could do 12
months we have done the 12 month because
it just makes the most sense and it ends
up being like five dollars a month so
it's very cost effective and just ends
up being it's so worth it and today you
can get up to 20 dollars in your
shopping cart for you to be able to
spend so I will leave that link down
below but I love what I got I got your
chips the zesty lime and I got more of
this salt to the Celtic salt we have it
like this and they had it like this yes
yeah it was a lot cheaper alrighty I'm
gonna pipe this stuff away and then we
will head out to work he'll head out
I'll just be in the car I mean this
right here is the color I want so I
figured you could take the whole drug in
there to compare the colors I got ready
good no no no no no no no no brown is
such a hard color to like mansion swatch
so you can just take this in
grab a bunch of swatches in that same
category bring it out to you yes shoes
actually good yeah that's nice thinking
but I was gonna have you bring this just
so you know where to start cuz once you
go in there guarantee you're gonna get
overwhelmed with all the swatches okay
or I'll just keep it in the car and I
can compare to the swatches you bring
out so you look crazy
going into head
the last thing we did with a mask and I
love ya gonna win then and grab the
stuff Jordans been the one that's been
leaving the house I haven't been to a
store in over four weeks kind of yellow
they said that they cannot sell any
paint but we can buy it online and then
pick it up in the store so that is so
silly
what so looking how long does it take
for it to come in earth well it's very
they just can't like be handling it back
and forth with you I don't know why all
right this is brought these are pretty
yellow
this is too yellow
straight-up yellow yellow these are more
brownies these are pretty do two more my
vibes okay let's see
I like this color a lot these two movies
mm-hmm the first one I picked up yeah
I'm leaning towards one of these this
one I like but you as you can tell like
compared to this one these are a little
bit more yellow right you're just doing
a little design key show me what you're
doing I did show you someone does this
attention the entire wall the entire
wall okay
our stores are currently experiencing
higher than normal volume we'll e-mail
you when it's ready for pickup you want
me to go in and ask them London when I
put in the order online oh no no we can
just go to Panera while we wait
well I don't know how long it's gonna be
maybe I don't know if it's gonna be like
10 minutes or if it's gonna be an hour
or you did the color already you told
them to call I know they had it when you
go pick it up that doesn't make any
sense
very strange times very strange things
why you watching my story I'm out here
everyone said they want to be it's meant
to hurt you want to help me film that
tomorrow
sure or do you want to do you want me to
film you since it's your space it's your
men this looks so fun this is so warm
it's really fuzzy means you probably
shouldn't do it well I'm putting the car
here meaty hard it's fuzzy I told you no
but your arms are huge
no that's fuzzy no there's another
instrument mister cumference
fuzziness mm-hmm
all right just when you are then are you
gonna give them a call before just or
should I just give him a call and ask
[Music]
yeah it's pretty Orange well Oh get dry
darker right yeah okay all right so I
made a little chat away um after you're
done right yes this isn't for me to
stencil but more of like a guide of the
spacing and it's not meant to be perfect
like if I wanted it perfect I would have
just done wallpaper you know so I do
want it to be like imperfectly perfect
and more organic so this is the guide
I'm gonna follow we do the whole entire
why are you freaking out it's not that
big of a deal
what are you gonna tell yourself it's
not a follow me fantasy shoot now you
freaking you know it doesn't have to be
perfect remember so kids I would do all
of it
what you'd rather do all that same
stroke but they go back and do the sit
dealer they're doing the same stroke
over and over and over the amount of
work has to go back
[Music]
okay so this is a lot tougher than we
had anticipated
so we brought out this plant because
this plant is gonna be here in the
nursery but it worked out really well
because the first line that we did
wasn't our best work but we figured out
the strategy and that basically is to
use the stencil but like actually use it
so what we're doing is replacing it and
then we're doing the lines right above
it so that way we know exactly how far
to come down and then we have this
spacing correct every time and the
spacing between each one is correct so
what looks nice is having like the even
space between each thing of cloth if
that makes sense so so far so that we're
correcting ourselves and I think it's
gonna look really good and I really like
the color it's drying it we got the
eggshell but it looks kind of matte it
like doesn't dry shiny and it dries a
little bit darker so it's more of a
brown not so orange II so
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
a Fiat with what happened to your hair
elite just woke up from her nap and
things are looking pretty pretty cray
cray over here oh she had goldfish in
there more more how do you say more in
sign language how you do more put the
ball down put you know looking at
basement it's gotten two coats of primer
two coats of paint she sees me chewing
nice all the time because I love ice if
you like them yeah Melanie literally
just started doing sign language with
her today and she's already learned can
you show me more form
yes I knew I knew it please
thank you thank you yeah sure yeah
good please Toki what does a tree look
like there's a cheese look like oh yeah
are you a tree please your bellybutton
alright guys I just finished look how
stinking cute it looks so honestly I
think the secret was to just using the
stencil because then they're not perfect
like if you look up closely you can see
that they all have like slight
imperfections but that was kind of the
goal with it I wanted it to be like
organic looking and then the first run
that we did it's totally Frank because
that is gonna cover it so it's not even
that big of a deal but I am so stinking
happy with the way that it looks so this
ledge is staying here because I'm gonna
put artwork and cute pieces on top of
the ledge just like I had before but
it's gonna be more boyish more green and
then the daybed will go right here
so essentially basically the whole
bottom half will be covered and you know
mainly just see the top half but my
sister and I will work on those art
pieces at some point this week or the
next week or whenever obviously I'll
vlog that too but yeah I will write down
the paint color for you guys if you want
to know and if you're curious about it
as well as linking this plant and let me
know if you want me to link anything
else that shelf is actually from Ikea
it's two shelves that I put together so
yeah I hope you guys enjoyed this vlog
it was a very therapeutic very fun very
enjoyable to paint I always forget how
much I like to paint because I don't
really ever get to do it but I enjoy it
a lot so hopefully this inspires you
guys I really really am so happy thank
you and I will leave my link to thrive
it down below - if you guys want to try
it out but that is going to be all for
today's vlog thank you guys so much for
