Last week I did the rope ladder on my son's custom build and this week I've got another mini project to add to the overall makeover. Today we're working on a custom ball/car run. We recently went to a local attraction that had ball runs on the wall that my son obsessed with. I knew there was a blank spot on the wall and I had the idea to make my own version for him to fit in that space.

We're back at it again with part 6 of my son's epic room makeover. So far I've done the bed, slide platform, reading nook, the bridge between the bed and slide, the railing, and the loft above the bed. Today I'm doing the rope ladder, which wasn't originally planned, but I really wanted something in this original plan. When I was building the slide platform both of my kids loved jumping off and wanted us to catch them. After talking with my husband, we decided that adding a dedicated jumping off spot was going to be the best and safest option. After adding this I wanted to add an additional way for them to climb up because there is enough space for that. Deciding exactly what to do took some time. I ordered something and it came and when it came it was too wide because the space was only 24 inches. Most rope ladders are 30 inches minimum so it was a bit tricky. I ordered one thinking that I could modify it a little bit, but I was wrong. After a lot of back and forth I finally decided to just make my own because I was pretty convinced that I could do it.

I'm very excited to update you on the highly anticipated next phase of my sons room makeover! When I originally designed this build I only planned for the bed, the reading nook underneath and the second story. This room has really tall, vaulted ceilings so, as I continued the building process, I decided to add an additional story to the build so that the whole space was utilized. The ceiling has different heights so it couldn't go around the entire build, instead, my goal for this space is for it to be more of a small "look out" space. I'll show you how I built the platform and the ladder leading up to it. Let's get started!

Today we're connecting the two sections with a bridge and safety railing. My original plan was to install the railing all the way across, but after creating the bridge and watching my son's joy of jumping off, I decided to change things up and cut the railing in half so there is an intentional section my kids can jump off of safely. This whole project has been so challenging as I adjust things and change up plans, but also SO fun as I learn new techniques, use my creativity and watch my children enjoy it.

We're back at it again with another resin project, this time a table for my mom. In all honesty, this project was hard, it stretched and tested me a lot, but in the end we got it done and I'm overall happy with it. It started off with a wrought iron table my mom bought off Facebook marketplace and some polish pottery pieces she wanted to be used. I already had the supplies and had done resin and pottery pieces before, so I was confident we could make this work.

In case you've missed it, I'm turning my son's room, which is on the third floor of our house, into the ultimate playroom and bedroom space. The room has vaulted ceilings so it was the perfect space to really go big. Today we're wrapping up the section of the room that we've been working on the last few weeks: the reading nook and slide.
