It's been forever since I've blogged about anything creative or any projects. I guess I'm a little slower these days. It's been killing me not to share Williams big boy room. I've been talking to my mom and my sister about it over the phone and I so want them to see it. So here's a peak into my big boys room.
My inspiration is this bedroom. I typically don't like boy bedding you can buy. It's way too busy for me. I figure kids rooms are aways busy with toys and stuff that I dont' need the bedding to be busy too. I wanted something plan and simple and I found this handsome bedding.
So I made this really simple quilt. I took a brown and cream sheet and cut it into strips. It was so easy. And cost me only $30 compared to $150.
I loved how this bedding had touches of red. I framed the quilt with red bias.
Here's a baby blanket that has just a touch of red in it.
I made a star wall our of contact paper. William loved the stars and was so excited when I was putting them on his wall. I love once again the touch of red.
Here's a red pillow. I just love details can you tell? My husband laughs at how much thought and detail I put into a toddlers bedroom. It's just in my DNA, I love how everything pieces together and I see anything I'm working on as a piece of organized art.
His room is very nostalgic and vintage. But I like how the bedding puts a modern sporty twist to it.
My other inspiration piece is this Norman Rockwell painting. It actually has been the inspiration for both Williams nursery and bedroom. I pulled the touch of red from the baseball hat and the browns and touches of smoky blue in it. I over all just love this painting. And how it shows how busy a boy is. And I love the route this little boy has. It's funny because William is very routinal and loves a schedule.
I pulled touches of blue from the painting and bought these diamond sheets. I love how they have a vintage feel.
I have boyish stuff through out his room. I don't know what William will be into. Hunting, sports, music, art, dance.....he does love to dance and he's pretty good to...but he can hit and throw a baseball pretty darn good too. Bought him a book thats about a boy named Will.
off...he goes "OH no".

Over all this room spells WILLIAM. Love this iron sign my dad made him.
