Let me first say that it had been quite a challenge trying to keep my 2 year old locked out of his 'new' room :-)
He cried for a while and begged me to let him inside, but I did not want to spoil the surprise. Anyway, as of today, he 'waits no more'. I can report he is very "happy, happy, happy, happy".
The bed was originally a convertible crib which served as a very good investment.
This monogram art was a 'spur of the moment' decision. Initially, I had planned to use the map, but later decided against it, (it was too large for the space). Anyway, I am happy with the way the art turned out, considering, it was a DIY project.
The wall lamps are 'dressed' in a lovely striped, orange, ribbon trim :-). They can be rotated as needed.
These fan blades were painted to match the color of the walls. It is such a 'cool' item to look at (pun intended), :-) and by far, one of my favorite elements in the room. Its features include a 6 speed full function remote control, and a revolutionary quiet DC motor. It also has 2, 4 and 8 hour
sleep timer and 1 minute walk away light delay....'so super cool'.
You may notice there is no specific theme going on here. I
just tried to incorporate small touches of things little boys love.
Money Bank
One of my favorite baby pictures.
I made this shadowbox following inspiration from here. It was funny watching my son try to pry the cars out of the shadowbox, only for him to discover it was sealed shut :-).
The orange truck serves as a night light. It features a rechargeable battery, which requires you pressing down on it to turn the light on or off.
(Painted Ikea Latt table and chair set, with added padding for comfort). I followed this tutorial.
Storage for his drawing and writing tools.
My little one loves to be read to, so I know he will like having all these books on his wall.
I reupholstered this chaise which was originally pink. This provides a cozy spot for reading. The chaise belonged to my daughter, and I had to promise her a new one before she finally decided to give it up :-).
Click here to see what the chaise looked like before.
DIY magnetic boards. My intention was to use these as stop lights; red, yellow, and green. I decided against it when I observed how much color the room already had. I think the neutral looks a lot better. I added magnetic strips to painted wooden cut-outs.
Well, that wraps it up for the tour, and as usual, I hope you were inspired. Thanks for stopping by, and also for the encouragement received during the challenge. It is much appreciated. Please head over to Linda's blog for even more inspiration.

The trim on the roman shades, is just a wider version of that used on the lamps.
