We didn’t paint it because we’re going to bring the white ceiling down onto that sloping part too.. Here’s how the room looked when we first got started, just to refresh your memory:.

-2 cups of epsom salts.-1/2 cup of coconut oil.

-lavender and peppermint essential oils (About 10 drops of each).I thought the epsom salts seemed like a much better option than plain white sugar because of.all of the great benefits it offers.

on top of just the exfoliation.Coconut oil is also being known more and more as a great alternative in both food and bath and body applications and is supposed to be good for you in so many ways.

I’ve just really started playing around with the coconut oil and testing out these things that I’ve heard about it, so maybe I’ll have a post for you about that soon?

Peppermint and Lavender oils are known to be calming, relaxing, and refreshing,.This pillar gives me somewhere to put some flowers or whatever I think is seasonally necessary, decorating-wise.. That’s what we’ve got so far!

Up next, more white paint, installing the wainscotting, and then choosing some sort of contrasting color for the top half of the walls.The other night I needed a little pick-me-up.I was thinking about different decorating projects I could do, but then reminding myself that I need to tackle the bigger stuff first (which I have been, believe-you-me), but then feeling like I just wish I could be “done” one little room so I could actually just play around in it, but then realizing that it was going to take a little while and not to waste my time creating a bunch of decorations that just aren’t going to work in the final room anyway.. It’s a noisy place inside my head..

So then I came across this idea on Pinterest.And it was do-able.
