It's finally done! I have been working on transforming Blake's room into a big boy room since July, throughout all of my other projects. I think I am most excited about this room out of all of the revamping I've done around the house these past few months. I just want to hang out in Blake's new pad all day long.
It all started with the chairs. Blake loved sitting in satellite chairs at my parents' house, so when I found similar chairs, I just had to get them. I could only find the chairs in navy, and since navy didn't match the old décor, the wheels in my head started turning for a total room makeover. Troy even agreed to let me paint the walls which is a big deal for him. I was only planning on painting one accent wall, but Troy didn't like the look of that, so I ended up painting the whole room. Blake and his crib were temporarily moved into the guest room for a week while I painted.
My favorite addition to his room is the alphabet wall. I've been collecting alphabet letters for a few months and I finally finished painting them and hanging them up over the weekend.
Here are some of the other details. I mostly just repainted or added to what was already there. I used a lot of fabrics, ribbons, and papers. I also got a little orange-spray-paint-happy.
I am really excited now that we know that Blake is going to have a brother because they can eventually share this "big boy" room. I think we'll keep them separated until their sleeping schedules are similar, but Troy is very happy that I'm not going to get pink-spray-paint-happy anytime soon.
Way cute! Wherever did you get your crafty-crafty abilities? Can't wait to see it person, better yet to see the boy that lives in this adorable room. Does he know what a talented mom he has? I'm glad you are already working on his alphabet with him!
ReplyDeletei love it!!!! you are so good at decorating! the letters are adorable
ReplyDeleteEverything looks so good. My favorite are the letters. Brody would LOVE it!!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love it. I never cease to be amazed at your craftiness. It looks great! I have totally been in the mood to give Skyler's room a makeover, but I have to wait and see if the next one is a boy or girl. If it's a boy, a nursery it must stay!
ReplyDeleteI must say...you better enjoy dolling up Blake's room with ribbons and scrapbook paper now, because I'm sure there will come a day when all he wants is football posters all over his room!!! :)
That's adorable Linds!! I love it
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the new look! That alphabet is so super cute. You did a great job. :-) I am speechless. . .seriously!
ReplyDeleteQuestion for you: do you remember what color of green you used to paint the room. I have been looking for a color of green that I like for Isaac's room. I really like how this green looks. If you do would you mind emailing the name of it to me? andyandjessie@gmail.com or just comment on my blog :-)
