Well, it’s been a long time coming. Our roommate moved out of the second bedroom in February (we still miss you Max!) and it only took us until the end of May to be done with the room. Except we still aren’t finished. I have another project in the works that we will be adding to this room, hopefully next week. So look forward to that!

Lars was looking over my shoulder when I was writing this post and made the most horrible noise looking at the before picture below. It cringes to make me think that the room looked like this at one point. When we first moved in, all that was in there was a twin mattress and a dresser. A little more than a month later we got the full sized bed. But for the first full month of this apartment the room literally looked like this:

Sorry, Max. And then for the next 6 or so months that Max lived there the room was full of boxes of shoes for Max’s job. Literally so full of boxes that he had to take boxes off the bed at night to sleep.

So although we miss having Max around, we love having the extra space for the guest room/ office. And not seeing all the boxes all the time.

So anyways, let’s take a peek inside what the room looks like today:

Above is the view you see from the doorway. You can see the pictures I made using my affordable artwork hack and the DIY file bench right away.

Next, the bed.

Lars’s mom made me the quilt as a graduation present. I am absolutely in love. She also gave us the picture frame, which she has been saving for us. Well, I thought it would look great hanging above the bed in lieu of a headboard, and I really do love how it looks there!

The orange pillows really bring out the small bits of orange in the quilt, and then tie into the boxes in the home office corner. We also have an adorable hedgehog night light on the nightstand courtesy of Per and Laura for a housewarming gift, and a cute vintage clock.

Now over to the opposite corner where the desk is.

Let me tell you, those floating shelves were more pain than they are worth. We are definitely building our own shelves instead of buying next time. And never putting floating shelves on a wall shared with the bathroom that contains plumbing. Don’t worry, we didn’t damage the plumbing in any way, but the irregularities in the wall because of the plumbing made hanging the shelves way more difficult than necessary.

But, they look great now. After only a ridiculous amount of work, one ruined shelf, patching drywall, buying the wrong color paint… Anyways. They’re great now. And useful for storage. 

The picture of the dog is the first piece of art I ever picked out. I got it at an art fair with my mom when I was about 14 and I’ve kept it ever since then. I love how it looks here. I also love the contrast of the white chair with the black desk.

Our organized little haven. I’ll be doing another post in the future on how we keep our office organized, so don’t worry about that. For me, it’s kind of a craft room/ office so it’s even got more going on.

Anyways, only 4 months in the making, the guest room/ office is finally (almost) done. Hope you like it!

I’ve been on the market for a cool, attractive clock lately. But I can’t believe how much some clocks actually cost! I mean, c’mon, it’s a clock! I just can’t justify shelling out hundreds of dollars for something I don’t actually use to tell time. When was the last time you checked a clock and not your phone or watch for the time?

I always see bloggers making their own less expensive versions of cool items from stores, so I figured I could too. The thought came to mind when I was perusing West Elm’s website and fell completely in love with this clock:

It’s super adorable right? But I just couldn’t justify to myself spending $100 on a clock. Especially one that is so hard to read. (I like numbers, ok).

Well, I thought, I can make that! So I did. And it only cost me $15 for all the supplies. Here is how I did it:

You will need:

• A square wood board (I used this basswood canvas)
• A clock kit (I used this one)
• A drill to make a small hole
• Masking or painter’s tape
• A measuring tape
• A pencil
• White and grey paint
• Paintbrush
• Exacto knife

Step one: Drill the hole

The first thing you will need to do is drill the small hole into the board. I was able to do this myself and it was easy enough. Make sure you make the hole large enough for your clock kit but don’t make the hole too large- but don’t worry about whether it looks neat or not, the clock will cover it.

Step two: Paint the board

Then, paint the board white and let it dry overnight. You don’t want to risk the tape peeling off the paint by being too eager, so best to let it dry for longer.

Step Three: Make your Chevron Pattern

Next, you will want to make the chevrons out of masking tape. I found this amazing method to tape off a chevron pattern, which is what I ended up doing. Basically, you make a grid, tape off a gingham pattern, and cut the chevrons out of it. It sounds more complicated than it is. But in case that is too much work for you, I found this great chevron stencil for $7. It makes the final cost of the project a little higher, but for those of you who are a little more DIY-challenged it makes it easier.

But if you want to try the masking tape method, it is quite easy.

First I marked off 1 inch intervals on each side of the canvas:

And I taped diagonally on every other inch

Then did the same going the other way.

Then, using my exacto knife, I trimmed off the pieces that were where I wanted the painted chevrons to be. This method was so easy and simple. I’m so glad I found it.

See how great the chevron pattern looks?

Step Four: Paint

Then, I just painted the chevron stripes. I used a sponge rather than a paintbrush because I wanted a more messy textured feel to be more similar to the west elm clock.

And once you let the paint dry, all you have to do is peel off your tape and your chevron pattern is done!

Step Five: Install clock kit

Finally, you will want to install the clock kit once the paint is dry. Each kit you get should come with its own instructions, but it is pretty self explanatory and easy to follow. You pretty much just put in a battery, attach it to the clock, and attach the hands.

And there you go! You’ve made yourself your own chevron wall clock! And for only $15!

Using the canvas instead of a flat board was an advantage because it was easy to hang, and there was room in the back for the clock kit. If you use a flat board, you might have to get more creative for hanging.

So adorable! I saved so much money making this clock myself, and I think I like it even more than the original. DIY success!

I finally found a permanent home for this clock in my living room. I think it looks amazing in there. Creating a functional, adorable, clock is so much easier than it looks. DIY for the win!
