So, we took this as a clue that it was time to re-do his room! TWIST MY ARM, right? Anyway - we decided to move him in to another bedroom altogether and leave this bedroom/nursery in tact for the next child...(nope, not preggers - just planning ahead!).
I really wanted to create a room that he could use for many many years to come without having to re-do/redecorate as he grows older. So - we went for Sophisticated Toddler...with a Star Wars spin!
The wall color: Benjamin Moore - Hillsborough Beige
Such a fantastic neutral/khaki color - not too golden, not to grey. I highly recommend!
A more substantial bed (most likely a bunk bed) is in the future for our little man - but for now the bed remains simply on a bedframe.
The furniture: Refinished (painted) furniture that used to reside in our bedroom. Color: Benjamin Moore, Stunning
See this post
The bedding: Quilt - Joshua Bedding, Pottery Barn Kids; Sheets - Star Wars, Pottery Barn Kids
(of course - The Barn wins me over once again)
Lamp: Sports Lamp - $29.99, HomeGoods
(LOVE this store!)
Sailboat on Wall: $25, HomeGoods
My husband's touch
Multi-Sports Canvas: $40, HomeGoods
Cushioned Map of the USA, $75 Pottery Barn Kids Outlet
Carried over from his old bedroom - I got this at the PBK Outlet about a year ago. It has pins that you can put in for the places you've been.
With the addition of a bunk bed, a book rack for the wall and maybe a chair in the corner - I think this room is all set for the long haul. No need for full redecoration until we ship the kiddo off to college! Once he becomes a teenager, I bet the sports canvas will have to go...and maybe a new lamp will be in order - but all in all - it's a great room to grow in!
