Tween Animal Theme Room - RV Mid-Bunk Makeover

 If you have been following along, you know that we are currently living in a Keystone Montana 3855BR RV. We are temporarily living here while my husband transitions from Military to Civilian Life. So far it has not been so bad and I actually recommend anyone willing to give it a try. It really does show you how little you can actually live on, comfortably. We do miss having more space to spread out to, however, creating little nooks and crannies where you can in an RV, helps and gets the job done. 

Today, I am sharing my daughter's room. Originally this pace was a dark little office cave located off of our kitchen. With her growing into her tween years, we knew she would appreciate her own room and space away from little brother from time to time - is it became her room. After we moved in, we got to work thinking of things she likes and would like to incorporate into her room decor. She LOVES anything animal related, so when I came across the adorable giraffe pattern wall stickers at the Target Dollar section, I knew we had a direction to go with. 

Here is the before of what the room looked like. I used the manufacturers image, however, it is pretty spot on.

Keystone Montana 3855BR RV MidBunk Makeover - Tween Theme

2022 was a an even crazier year for us vs the years prior if you can believe that. With so much going on in the world and within the military specifically, my husband made the tough decision to retire earlier than we originally planned to. As we began to make plans to separate from the military, my husband was accepted as a skill-bridge candidate to intern for an aerospace company in Colorado Springs area. It was a great way for military members to transition to the civilian workforce. It would be a 6 month commitment and an unknown as far as a full time hire, so my husband came up with the idea to buy and live in an RV while he finishes up his internship and secures a permanent career. With a lot of discussion and weighing the pros and cons, we decided to go for it.  The one thing I was excited about was being able to get in there an attempt to make it feel more like home. We started with Haines's loft area and are slowly moving on to each room as we are able to. I hope you enjoy before and afters because we will have a lot coming your way. 

Here is Haines's space. Its teeny tiny, so it more for sleeping and/or quiet time with a book or his tablet when there needs to be some sibling separation.  

This is what we were working with before. It is a nice space and would be great for traveling and/or using for a short amount of time, however, I really wanted this space to feel more like his real bedroom so I painted and and added a few things to help that vision along.

Swoon Worthy Rainbow Themed Nursery for Sweet Tori Grace

When it comes to creating a special place to bring your newborn baby home to, it can be overwhelming for most moms. There are so many amazing trends, themes and color combos, its hard to choose. There is one trend that stands out most to me that I usually always fall back on and its "neutral". There is just something about soft neutral colors that bring comfy, cozy vibes and isn't that exactly what all parents want for their sweet babies. A little haven that is full of inspiration and beauty without being too overwhelming. 

Well my wonderful friend, fellow military spouse and expecting mom to sweet baby girl, Tori Grace did just that. She pieced together her little girl's nursery using soft subtle pink, white and a grey hues creating a rainbow theme that adds whimsy with a touch of sophistication making it easy to transition as she grows older. I'm so in love with the different textures and accents Mandi added to each corner of the room creating a soft and soothing space fit for any newborn.

Join with me as we fawn over sweet Tori Grace's nursery and her mama's timeless eye for design.

I can’t wait to share her gorgeous maternity photos tomorrow. Their sweet family is as beautiful on the inside as they are on the outside.
