I tend to get inspired to update and redo things often, and from that came the start of the boys room refresh. I call it the “boys room” because some day I hope to separate the twins and have both of my boys sleeping together.
One of the main changes I wanted to make was adding a LEGO play/storage/building area. LEGOS are probably one of our most played with and loved toys. All the kids play with them and we often play or build together as a family. I decided upon using two IKEA’s trofast units!
They worked perfectly! But of course I couldn’t just add some new furniture without making some other changes.
Changes for the boys room refresh
- Stained bunk bed
- Painted walls
- Added IKEA trofast units
- Repositioned shelves
- Added some new decor: Lego prints
1. Bed update
First, I updated the IKEA bunkbed from the raw wood. Since, I didn’t want to disassemble the whole bed to take outside to stain and clear coat, I opted for a different product. Watco Danish Oil one step finish in dark walnut. It easily wiped on with a rag and was done in about an hour!
2. Paint walls
I opted to try something different on the walls than the usual for me: color! After trying many samples I could not decide what color to pick and ultimately let the boy pick! After all it is his room. Behr: Silky White for top portion and Behr: Heritage Park for the dark green.
3. LEGO Station
Originally I planned to pick up two IKEA trofast units and stain them to match the other wood in the room. After many failed attempts I let that idea go and opted for leaving them as it. I would still like to add some type of top to cover both units. Maybe a thin sheet of hardboard or some type of craft mat? And possibly add some castor wheels on the bottom as well so they can easily pushed out of the way.
We love LEGOS in this house and having everything more organized has encouraged more play and quicker building of sets. We sorted all the LEGOS by color or type, making it so much easier if you are trying to build a set from instructions.
4. Repositioned shelving
I still like the wood and pipe shelving I made years ago, but needed to reposition them over the new lego area. Cut down one shelf and centered both on the wall. Easy.
5. New decor : LEGO prints
Lastly, I added new wall decor LEGO prints. They are free printables from The Okie Home . Go check her out!
I printed all 4 patents on tabloid size paper and built a simple wood frame for them. So easy and so neat looking!
Boys room refresh done!
This was not an overly complicated room update. Amazing what a little paint, stain and time can do. Let me know if you have any questions!

Thanks for the unique tips provided on this website. I have realized that many insurance providers offer shoppers generous reductions if they favor to insure a couple of cars together. A significant quantity of households currently have several cars these days, particularly those with more aged teenage children still living at home, as well as the savings upon policies can soon mount up. So it is good to look for a bargain.
There are some fascinating cut-off dates on this article but I don抰 know if I see all of them heart to heart. There’s some validity however I will take maintain opinion until I look into it further. Good article , thanks and we would like extra! Added to FeedBurner as properly
I’m usually to running a blog and i really recognize your content. The article has actually peaks my interest. I’m going to bookmark your site and maintain checking for new information.
I’m still learning from you, but I’m improving myself. I certainly enjoy reading everything that is posted on your site.Keep the tips coming. I enjoyed it!
Hello! I’ve been reading your website for a while now and finally got the bravery to go ahead and give you a shout out from Huffman Texas! Just wanted to tell you keep up the fantastic job!
Thanks for the helpful write-up. It is also my opinion that mesothelioma has an really long latency interval, which means that the signs of the disease might not emerge until finally 30 to 50 years after the primary exposure to asbestos fiber. Pleural mesothelioma, that is the most common sort and has effects on the area round the lungs, could potentially cause shortness of breath, breasts pains, as well as a persistent cough, which may result in coughing up blood.
Greetings from Los angeles! I’m bored to death at work so I decided to browse your site on my iphone during lunch break. I love the info you provide here and can’t wait to take a look when I get home. I’m amazed at how quick your blog loaded on my mobile .. I’m not even using WIFI, just 3G .. Anyhow, superb site!
I’m not sure exactly why but this web site is loading extremely slow for me. Is anyone else having this issue or is it a problem on my end? I’ll check back later on and see if the problem still exists.
Someone essentially help to make seriously posts I would state. This is the very first time I frequented your web page and thus far? I surprised with the research you made to make this particular publish amazing. Excellent job!
I have realized some new elements from your internet site about computers. Another thing I have always thought is that computers have become an item that each house must have for many reasons. They offer convenient ways in which to organize the home, pay bills, go shopping, study, focus on music and in some cases watch tv shows. An innovative method to complete most of these tasks is by using a notebook. These personal computers are portable ones, small, highly effective and easily transportable.
Woah! I’m really enjoying the template/theme of this website. It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s hard to get that “perfect balance” between superb usability and visual appeal. I must say that you’ve done a superb job with this. Also, the blog loads super quick for me on Chrome. Exceptional Blog!
certainly like your web site but you need to check the spelling on several of your posts. A number of them are rife with spelling problems and I find it very bothersome to tell the truth nevertheless I抣l definitely come back again.
I have been browsing on-line more than three hours today, but I never discovered any interesting article like yours. It抯 beautiful price enough for me. Personally, if all site owners and bloggers made good content material as you probably did, the internet might be much more helpful than ever before.
In line with my observation, after a foreclosures home is available at an auction, it is common for that borrower in order to still have any remaining balance on the mortgage loan. There are many lenders who try and have all charges and liens paid by the upcoming buyer. Having said that, depending on selected programs, regulations, and state laws there may be quite a few loans that aren’t easily resolved through the switch of financial loans. Therefore, the obligation still rests on the customer that has received his or her property foreclosed on. Thank you sharing your ideas on this blog.
Thanks for another excellent article. Where else could anybody get that kind of info in such a perfect method of writing? I have a presentation subsequent week, and I am at the look for such information.
Thanks for another magnificent post. Where else could anyone get that kind of info in such a perfect way of writing? I’ve a presentation next week, and I am on the look for such information.
F*ckin? awesome things here. I am very happy to see your article. Thanks so much and i’m looking ahead to contact you. Will you kindly drop me a e-mail?
hello!,I like your writing very much! share we communicate more about your post on AOL? I require an expert on this area to solve my problem. May be that’s you! Looking forward to see you.
I have really learned some new things through your blog post. Also a thing to I have discovered is that in many instances, FSBO sellers will reject you actually. Remember, they can prefer to never use your services. But if you maintain a stable, professional romance, offering assistance and keeping contact for four to five weeks, you will usually have the ability to win a conversation. From there, a listing follows. Cheers
Thanks for sharing all these wonderful posts. In addition, an excellent travel along with medical insurance strategy can often relieve those fears that come with traveling abroad. Some sort of medical crisis can quickly become extremely expensive and that’s bound to quickly decide to put a financial problem on the family finances. Putting in place the best travel insurance package deal prior to setting off is well worth the time and effort. Thanks a lot

Whether you believe in God or not, this is a must-read message!!!
Throughout time, we can see how we have been slowly conditioned to come to this point where we are on the verge of a cashless society. Did you know that the Bible foretold of this event almost 2,000 years ago?
In Revelation 13:16-18, we read,
“He (the false prophet who decieves many by his miracles) causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.”
Referring to the last generation, this could only be speaking of a cashless society. Why? Revelation 13:17 tells us that we cannot buy or sell unless we receive the mark of the beast. If physical money was still in use, we could buy or sell with one another without receiving the mark. This would contradict scripture that states we need the mark to buy or sell!
These verses could not be referring to something purely spiritual as scripture references two physical locations (our right hand or forehead) stating the mark will be on one “OR” the other. If this mark was purely spiritual, it would indicate only in one place.
This is where it really starts to come together. It is shocking how accurate the Bible is concerning the implatnable RFID microchip. These are notes from a man named Carl Sanders who worked with a team of engineers to help develop this RFID chip
“Carl Sanders sat in seventeen New World Order meetings with heads-of-state officials such as Henry Kissinger and Bob Gates of the C.I.A. to discuss plans on how to bring about this one-world system. The government commissioned Carl Sanders to design a microchip for identifying and controlling the peoples of the world—a microchip that could be inserted under the skin with a hypodermic needle (a quick, convenient method that would be gradually accepted by society).
Carl Sanders, with a team of engineers behind him, with U.S. grant monies supplied by tax dollars, took on this project and designed a microchip that is powered by a lithium battery, rechargeable through the temperature changes in our skin. Without the knowledge of the Bible (Brother Sanders was not a Christian at the time), these engineers spent one-and-a-half-million dollars doing research on the best and most convenient place to have the microchip inserted.
Guess what? These researchers found that the forehead and the back of the hand (the two places the Bible says the mark will go) are not just the most convenient places, but are also the only viable places for rapid, consistent temperature changes in the skin to recharge the lithium battery. The microchip is approximately seven millimeters in length, .75 millimeters in diameter, about the size of a grain of rice. It is capable of storing pages upon pages of information about you. All your general history, work history, crime record, health history, and financial data can be stored on this chip.
Brother Sanders believes that this microchip, which he regretfully helped design, is the “mark” spoken about in Revelation 13:16–18. The original Greek word for “mark” is “charagma,” which means a “scratch or etching.” It is also interesting to note that the number 666 is actually a word in the original Greek. The word is “chi xi stigma,” with the last part, “stigma,” also meaning “to stick or prick.” Carl believes this is referring to a hypodermic needle when they poke into the skin to inject the microchip.”
Mr. Sanders asked a doctor what would happen if the lithium contained within the RFID microchip leaked into the body. The doctor replied by saying a terrible sore would appear in that location. This is what the book of Revelation says:
“And the first (angel) went, and poured out his vial on the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore on the men which had the mark of the beast, and on them which worshipped his image” (Revelation 16:2).
You can read more about it here–and to also understand the mystery behind the number 666: https://2ruth.org/rfid-mark-of-the-beast-666-revealed/
The third angel’s warning in Revelation 14:9-11 states,
“Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, ‘If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.'”
Who is Barack Obama, and why is he still in the public scene?
So what’s in the name? The meaning of someone’s name can say a lot about a person. God throughout history has given names to people that have a specific meaning tied to their lives. How about the name Barack Obama? Let us take a look at what may be hiding beneath the surface.
Jesus says in Luke 10:18, “…I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.”
The Hebrew Strongs word (H1299) for “lightning”: “bârâq” (baw-rawk)
In Isaiah chapter 14, verse 14, we read about Lucifer (Satan) saying in his heart:
“I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High.”
In the verses in Isaiah that refer directly to Lucifer, several times it mentions him falling from the heights or the heavens. The Hebrew word for the heights or heavens used here is Hebrew Strongs 1116: “bamah”–Pronounced (bam-maw’)
In Hebrew, the letter “Waw” or “Vav” is often transliterated as a “U” or “O,” and it is primarily used as a conjunction to join concepts together. So to join in Hebrew poetry the concept of lightning (Baraq) and a high place like heaven or the heights of heaven (Bam-Maw), the letter “U” or “O” would be used. So, Baraq “O” Bam-Maw or Baraq “U” Bam-Maw in Hebrew poetry similar to the style written in Isaiah, would translate literally to “Lightning from the heights.” The word “Satan” in Hebrew is a direct translation, therefore “Satan.”
So when Jesus told His disciples in Luke 10:18 that He beheld Satan fall like lightning from heaven, if this were to be spoken by a Jewish Rabbi today influenced by the poetry in the book of Isaiah, he would say these words in Hebrew–the words of Jesus in Luke 10:18 as, And I saw Satan as Baraq O Bam-Maw.
The names of both of Obama’s daughters are Malia and Natasha. If we were to write those names backward (the devil does things in reverse) we would get “ailam ahsatan”. Now if we remove the letters that spell “Alah” (Allah being the false god of Islam), we get “I am Satan”. Coincidence? I don’t think so.
Obama’s campaign logo when he ran in 2008 was a sun over the horizon in the west, with the landscape as the flag of the United States. In Islam, they have their own messiah that they are waiting for called the 12th Imam, or the Mahdi (the Antichrist of the Bible), and one prophecy concerning this man’s appearance is the sun rising in the west.
“Then I saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach to those who dwell on the earth—to every nation, tribe, tongue, and people— saying with a loud voice, ‘Fear God and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment has come; and worship Him who made heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water.'” (Revelation 14:6-7)
Why have the word’s of Jesus in His Gospel accounts regarding His death, burial, and resurrection, been translated into over 3,000 languages, and nothing comes close? The same God who formed the heavens and earth that draws all people to Him through His creation, likewise has sent His Word to the ends of the earth so that we may come to personally know Him to be saved in spirit and in truth through His Son Jesus Christ.
Jesus stands alone among the other religions that say to rightly weigh the scales of good and evil and to make sure you have done more good than bad in this life. Is this how we conduct ourselves justly in a court of law? Bearing the image of God, is this how we project this image into reality?
Our good works cannot save us. If we step before a judge, being guilty of a crime, the judge will not judge us by the good that we have done, but rather by the crimes we have committed. If we as fallen humanity, created in God’s image, pose this type of justice, how much more a perfect, righteous, and Holy God?
God has brought down His moral laws through the 10 commandments given to Moses at Mt. Siani. These laws were not given so we may be justified, but rather that we may see the need for a savior. They are the mirror of God’s character of what He has put in each and every one of us, with our conscious bearing witness that we know that it is wrong to steal, lie, dishonor our parents, murder, and so forth.
We can try and follow the moral laws of the 10 commandments, but we will never catch up to them to be justified before a Holy God. That same word of the law given to Moses became flesh about 2,000 years ago in the body of Jesus Christ. He came to be our justification by fulfilling the law, living a sinless perfect life that only God could fulfill.
The gap between us and the law can never be reconciled by our own merit, but the arm of Jesus is stretched out by the grace and mercy of God. And if we are to grab on, through faith in Him, He will pull us up being the one to justify us. As in the court of law, if someone steps in and pays our fine, even though we are guilty, the judge can do what is legal and just and let us go free. That is what Jesus did almost 2,000 years ago on the cross. It was a legal transaction being fulfilled in the spiritual realm by the shedding of His blood.
For God takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked (Ezekiel 18:23). This is why in Isaiah chapter 53, where it speaks of the coming Messiah and His soul being a sacrifice for our sins, why it says it pleased God to crush His only begotten Son.
This is because the wrath that we deserve was justified by being poured out upon His Son. If that wrath was poured out on us, we would all perish to hell forever. God created a way of escape by pouring it out on His Son whose soul could not be left in Hades but was raised and seated at the right hand of God in power.
So now when we put on the Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 13:14), God no longer sees the person who deserves His wrath, but rather the glorious image of His perfect Son dwelling in us, justifying us as if we received the wrath we deserve, making a way of escape from the curse of death–now being conformed into the image of the heavenly man in a new nature, and no longer in the image of the fallen man Adam.
Now what we must do is repent and put our trust and faith in the savior, confessing and forsaking our sins, and to receive His Holy Spirit that we may be born again (for Jesus says we must be born again to enter the Kingdom of God–John chapter 3). This is not just head knowledge of believing in Jesus, but rather receiving His words, taking them to heart, so that we may truly be transformed into the image of God. Where we no longer live to practice sin, but rather turn from our sins and practice righteousness through faith in Him in obedience to His Word by reading the Bible.
Our works cannot save us, but they can condemn us; it is not that we earn our way into everlasting life, but that we obey our Lord Jesus Christ:
“And having been perfected, He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him.” (Hebrews 5:9)
“Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, ‘Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.’
Then He who sat on the throne said, ‘Behold, I make all things new.’ And He said to me, ‘Write, for these words are true and faithful.’
And He said to me, ‘It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son. But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.'” (Revelation 21:1-8).
The end justifies the means.
Also I believe that mesothelioma is a rare form of cancers that is typically found in those previously subjected to asbestos. Cancerous tissues form in the mesothelium, which is a shielding lining which covers the vast majority of body’s body organs. These cells ordinarily form within the lining of your lungs, mid-section, or the sac that really encircles the heart. Thanks for expressing your ideas.

So what’s in the name? The meaning of someone’s name can say a lot about a person. God throughout history has given names to people that have a specific meaning tied to their lives. How about the name Barack Obama? Let us take a look at what may be hiding beneath the surface.

So to join in Hebrew poetry the concept of lightning (Baraq) and a high place like heaven or the heights of heaven (Bam-Maw), the letter “U” or “O” would be used. So, Baraq “O” Bam-Maw or Baraq “U” Bam-Maw in Hebrew poetry similar to the style written in Isaiah, would translate literally to “Lightning from the heights.” The word “Satan” in Hebrew is a direct translation, therefore “Satan.”
So when Jesus told His disciples in Luke 10:18 that He beheld Satan fall like lightning from heaven, if this were to be spoken by a Jewish Rabbi today influenced by the poetry in the book of Isaiah, he would say these words in Hebrew–the words of Jesus in Luke 10:18 as, And I saw Satan as Baraq O Bam-Maw.

“And having been perfected, He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him.” (Hebrews 5:9)
“Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, ‘Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.’
Then He who sat on the throne said, ‘Behold, I make all things new.’ And He said to me, ‘Write, for these words are true and faithful.’
And He said to me, ‘It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son. But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.'” (Revelation 21:1-8).

Okay, this might be a little bit random, but I saw your blog and had to ask, are you interested in a translation job? I know I’m a stranger but I felt like doing a good deed today by alerting a couple people that a good position has opened up here: https://msha.ke/freedomwithtay and they pay sometimes even $70/hour. Okay, they won’t always give that amount, I only made around $400 last week, but it’s part time and when times are tight, every little bit helps. Hope it helps, and my apologies if you’re not interested. Have a great day/evening!

Thanks for the several tips shared on this blog site. I have observed that many insurance providers offer customers generous savings if they choose to insure a few cars together. A significant amount of households have got several autos these days, in particular those with elderly teenage children still living at home, and the savings on policies could soon increase. So it makes sense to look for a bargain.

One thing I want to say is that before buying more personal computer memory, check out the machine in to which it could be installed. In case the machine is actually running Windows XP, for instance, a memory threshold is 3.25GB. The installation of more than this would basically constitute a new waste. Make sure that one’s mother board can handle the actual upgrade volume, as well. Great blog post.
Thanks for your post. I’d really like to write my opinion that the price of car insurance differs a lot from one insurance policy to another, since there are so many different issues which contribute to the overall cost. As an example, the brand name of the car will have a huge bearing on the fee. A reliable ancient family motor vehicle will have a more economical premium than a flashy racecar.
Hey, honestly your site is coming along :-), but I had a question – it’s a bit slow. Have you thought about using a different host like propel? It’d help your visitors stick around longer = more profit long term anyway. There’s a decent review on it by this guy who uses gtmetrix to test different hosting providers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6s0ciJI4W4 and the whole video has a bunch of gold in it, worth checking out.

Hi! Do you know if they make any plugins to help with SEO? I’m trying to get my blog to rank for some targeted keywords but I’m not seeing very good gains. If you know of any please share. Kudos!
Thanks for your strategies. One thing I have noticed is that often banks and financial institutions know the spending patterns of consumers and understand that plenty of people max out and about their real credit cards around the trips. They properly take advantage of this kind of fact and begin flooding the inbox plus snail-mail box using hundreds of 0 APR credit card offers immediately after the holiday season ends. Knowing that if you’re like 98 of American public, you’ll rush at the possiblity to consolidate card debt and move balances to 0 interest rate credit cards.
