Just like the indoor living room.

For the record, we also checked out the idea of doing beadboard wallpaper over the backing provided with the book shelf, but it turned out that the actual beadboard was much cheaper for a project this size.One pack was about $15.. Now paint that beadboard a color of your choice!

I went with a color called Dover Grey to match the dresser that we already have in the dining room.It’s a good thing I never throw away paint because I’m pretty sure that the last time I used this can of paint was about 6 years ago.. Once the paint is dry, all you need to do is just nail or screw the strips in place, one by one!.Yes, that’s really how our master bedroom looks right now, right in the middle of our big bathroom reno.

When you’re all done, you end up with something that looks like this!.I love the depth and texture that you get from using the real beadboard.. We did look into buying a really high quality shelf for this corner, but since we’re hoping to put some corner cabinet built-ins in here one day, that just seemed like a lot of money to spend for a temporary shelf that will probably end up somewhere else in the house eventually.

Real grown-up shelves are expensive!

This little DIY does the trick  just fine for now!.Isn’t that always the way?.

I just tied the stockings up with twine and staggered them on the ladder that was already there in the corner of the living room.. Super easy, super cute, super effective!.Kennedy was somewhat concerned that Santa wouldn’t be able to reach that high.

So we had a good conversation about that.. “What?How tall do you think Santa is?
