A Room All His Own

Little G should consider himself lucky to be the only boy in the family. Living in a small, four-bedroom house means he'll never have to share a room. The girls (whether they like it or not) will. The extra room will be an office/craft room. I know, call me selfish! Anyhoo, I've been pondering on what to do in the little guy's room. I finally found some inspiration that I think satisfies my desire not to have an overly "themey" bedroom but one that is "kiddy" enough for a little boy.


I've already purchased paint and the cute little dino bank. Bran said he can come up with some art similar to the inspiration pieces. It sure is nice to have an artist/designer for a husband! The bedding and cool floor poufs I plan to make myself. The original bedding is a line from Serena and Lilly and as usual, way out of my budget. I found an awesome tutorial for floor poufs that I plan on using—Michael Miller Whimsy Dottie Grid fabric in kiwi and blue. I'm still unsure about sheeting... for both bedroom's for that matter. So, if anyone can come up with something, please, let me know.

'Mer'making Some Changes

So I thought I had it... and then I found a SALE! I was looking for ideas for Little G's room online and came across a bedding sale at Potterybarn kids. It also led me to an ebay purchase to complete the set. I was wooed. I purchased. The only (sort of) problem is that it isn't for Little G's room. It's lovely. It's beachy. And, it's pink! It will be perfect for the girl's mermaid bedroom. I'm so excited to put it all together!
