I find the above-the-bed spot uniquely hard to decorate, so I’m super here for it. They recently put out a line of prints that work really well in a long narrow form and easily fit into a cheap IKEA frame, so you can hang them above your bed, and get a huge art print for a good price. You can order prints for super affordable prices, and either print them at home (I’ve printed several at our local one hour photo to great results), or have them shipped from their studio in Arizona.

For October my code is: RTRFAM21F5F79, it gives you 40% off 2 months of RTR’s Newest Memberships, and is a really good deal. (I don’t get paid, but I do sometimes get free rentals).

Next up we’re planning to put in a small outside studio and refresh the kitchen and the bathrooms. We’ve built a treehouse, several fences, a brand new patio, fixed our deck, planted a lawn and a vegetable garden, and are about to hit whatever landscaping we can pull off in fall. My family is in the midst of a full scale outdoor remodel. (If we can support small brands while we do it, all the better.)
