the boys’ room {part 3}
I’ve been doing a little series with photos of the progress on the boys’ room. If ya want, you can check out Part 1 here and Part 2 here. See what we started with :) Their room is really small and one of the main walls (with the window) is all cement (ick!) I was considering painting but since we’re renting and I’ve already painted on huge wall in our home (I needed colour in the living room for my sanity ;)) We decided against painting and instead have made the most with what we could. It’s turning out fun and bright! Chase is loving it! Especially the paper lanterns which he calls balloons :)
I added the boys’ names to the cement wall for colour. Boy S’s name isn’t being announced until Tuesday next week, so I couldn’t share a photo with his name. His name is painted in the aqua blue.
Not much change here with the changing table. A few baskets and the elephant my mom sewed for Chase when he was a baby.
The canvas you see was canvas I got on sale a year ago. I finally used all but two up! The paper lanterns I got on sale at Paperlanterns.com (AMAZING prices!) The curtain was thrifted at the price of $2.50! It is super thick and retro-ish but matches pretty well. I still need to cute and sew the bottom so it fits the window better, but for now…
This was a seriously fun project. I used tape to make my own chevron style pattern. I also used my cricut and vinyl to create the words you see. The “puffy” words are from 2 packages of stickers I bought half off at Hobby Lobby!
The boys’ closet is tiny so we added 3 poles to hold clothes and also a over the door rack for their coats and hoodies and such. I’m in awe how much a tiny closet can hold :) When I shut the door, I can pop up this thrifted green chair which I sit on sometimes as Chase falls asleep in his bed.
I still have some work to do on this wall but here is what it looks like currently. I need to move the You are my Sunshine canvas up so I can add a frame with a copy of Boy S’s footprints and stats.
I still need to hang this IKEA bar and hooks below the frames and above the dresser to hold little buckets of things.
The little tricycle you see was a thrifted find that I painted to make it a bit more modern to fit the boys’ room style. At some point, I want to hang the kid skateboard up on the wall (which isn’t pictured because it’s blank and unfinished) above S’s bed. I have a plan to do that entire wall with shelves like the skateboard and photos from pregnancy, newborn and different stages in both boy’s life.
The boys’ room is really, really bright during almost all hours of the day. This curtain is pretty thick and it helps to keep the room looking softly lit for the boys’ naptimes.
I’m pretty excited that their room is {mostly} finished before S comes in just {6 days} now!! Thanks for popping in :)
ooOOOOoo so cool!! My roommate and I are trying to decorate our living room a little more and so I think we might try some of those chevron-patterned canvases! What kind of tape did you use?
PS – I’m so excited about Boy S! Can’t wait to find out what his name is :)
Awww… it looks great! I love the little tricycle and all of your canvases. I’d love to find a little chair like that one you have for Josiah’s room. I’m getting to old to sit on the floor and play for long! ;)
really cute, jami! way to go getting it all done before baby comes. :)
it’s soooo cute Jami!!!! you’re so very creative!!!
Adorable! You should be an interior decorator and start at my house!!!
