A Room of His Own

My youngest son will soon have a room of his own.

When we finish our new master bed room he will be getting our old room.

He keeps asking when.

Soon.

Will I get your bed?

No.

Will I get your tv?

No.

I have been asking him what his favorite colors are and what he would like in his new room.

Orange.

Not the whole wall of course.
Maybe some horizontal stripes or one wall of vertical stripes.
He also likes blue, so I will do some smaller stripes of that color.

I would also like to try gray along with the orange.
I think it is a color he could grow into and not hate it in a couple of years.

I would love to make him a cool bed for this new room.

Seeing as we STILL have NOT built the tree house, this might be a temporary compromise.
He is young enough to really appreciate it for many years.

This bedding would be great to start off with.

Some wall art.
I love the canvas pictures.

I have two vintage scooters that once were hanging in his room when he was a baby.
Now they are just waiting to be hung back up.

He will have his OWN closet.

He will have his OWN cabinet for toys.
His OWN desk.
His Own bookcase.

I have a funny feeling he is going to leave his new room as a play room and sleep in his brother's room.

I'm ok with that too.

At least he will have a place to go that is his OWN.

Purple for a Little Girl

Now that the study room floor is done, we are on to the next project.

Wood is ordered.
And waiting patiently in the hallway.

Old carpeting is ripped up.

Most of the furniture is out.
The big iron beast is last to go.

A little girl is excited because her room is next on the list.

We want the room to be able to transition into a teen room with minor changes.

She is excited to be having her own little slumber party in the basement while we work on her floor.

I was surprised when I showed her this picture and she loved the bedding.
Her room is already painted a very pale purple.
My plan is to keep the color just paint another coat to make it clean and fresh again, and of course all of the trim will be repainted white again.

I am on the look out for a chair to slipcover.
A new/used desk and desk chair.
They will be painted dark purple.

The wood floor will not be stained, we will only put couple coats of poly on, so if we change our minds and want to paint a pattern we can.

We are still looking for a rug that will bring all of the room colors together.

Then comes the hallway.
I still love my painted walls so I will be staining the floor same as the downstairs floors.

Then, the boys room.

Cue the Jaws music.

Two boys=

Lots of Legos.
