Big Boy Room
With Simon climbing out of his crib, we're thinking that we might have to transition him to a regular bed sometime in the forseeable future. With the twin bed, comes a new room since we're planning on keeping the nursery as is for any future children. My focus in the last few weeks has been searching for items to decorate said room. My Mum bought the bedding for us a few months ago. It's a basic blue plaid, stripes, patchwork. The perfect neutral backdrop for any theme. I have the furniture that I bought a few years back at a garage sale (a solid wood dressor, night table, desk, chair, mirror and headboard for $200!) that my Mum is going to paint off white for us. Then comes the accessories. So far, I have a baseball mirror, soccer ball clock, soccer ball overhead light and a soccer ball night table lamp. I have been searching endlessly online and found a series of prints that I love, a fun locker that fits with the sports theme, a striped paint effect that will fit the theme perfectly, sports themed bean bag chairs. I'm also coming up with lots of other projects/ideas - a score board, a basketball hoop over a laundry hamper, a baseball bat hat hanger, a framed Pittsburgh vintage jersey (I think this one may be a bit too expensive for a kids room though), amd I'm trying to figure out how to work a hockey net into all of this! Here's some pictures of my finds/inspiration so far:
