Welcome to our Cowboy room!
When we first moved to Arizona, we thought this move could be more permanent than our previous spot.
{Meaning more than 18 months}
We started renting an apartment by a neighborhood that we would love to live in “if” we bought here.
We could paint “if” we {Mr. J} painted it back before we left.
Mr. J is a very simple man and I didn’t want to burden him with a job on top of a job!
So I tried to come up with something cute and quick.
I went to Home Depot and found some rope.
Not too thick that I couldn’t bend and twist,
and not too thin that it would look like an ant trail on a wall.
I got a dark chocolate spray paint and my sweet younger brother spray painted it for me.
We put it on the wall and Mr. J followed me with a hammer and nails and wah lah!
It’s been a fun, temporary, and quick way to fill up the space.
It’s huge!
On the opposite wall we added some Cowboy decor from Hobby Lobby.
I got ALL this and a cowboy hat bank for just under $30!
Love Hobby Lobby!
Whenever we say “I love you,” it turns into “I love you more” and usually ends with a race to “I love you to Infinity and Beyond” which wins and beats all.
Sometimes when I feel like winning, I remind him it’s on the wall and I said it first.
Most of the time, I let my competitive spirit take a back seat and I get picked on for losing.
Patches joined our family shortly after the Cowboy room took shape and he is definitely the favorite when friends come to play.
Inspiration behind the room?
Who lets their child pick out their Halloween costume at 18 months? Me.
Who ended up crying freaked out about putting it on the night of? Him.
We bribed him with a lollipop to keep it on and the bent cowboy hat that someone lent us.
Ever since that Halloween, everyone in my family just calls him Cowboy or cowboy Joe.
It’s probably easier since Joe is my dad’s name also and my parents did have a family owned western store back in the day, so the cowboy theme works!
Sorry buddy that you decided to be half baby half horse, but your cute cowboy bum rocked it!
I’m linking up at these great parties!
