About this time last year, we made the transition from crib to twin bed for Breckin. It was at this time I started decorating his big boy room. It has been a long process…just adding things here and there. I had actually planned on painting it, but never got around to that. It’s a little bittersweet to share this post now because now that Hubby and I have found out our news, we are planning on bunking the two boys in one room. I plan on revealing Tanner’s room as well, since his made big changes too. Here is a picture of the moodboard I had created for Breckin’s room:
And here’s what we’ve ended up with:
The bed and bedding were Tanner’s old sets. The bedding was from Target and I love it so much. I wish they still sold it so I could do matching bunk beds with it when the time comes!
The dresser was given to me by a friend when I was pregnant with Tanner. I actually have two of them! They are actually pretty cute – bamboo detailed. Perfect for a beach-themed room.
The striped rug is also from Target. The dog just follows me around.
This is his desk area…he’s a bit too young for schoolwork yet, but I was planning early. He’s also big on tools right now, so his tool bench sits right beside. The “B” picture is one I painted myself and the frame was around $3 at Ross when I was pregnant with him. The lamp was from Target a few years ago, again from Tanner’s old room. The chair is actually a chair I’ve had since I was a teenager! It’s moved with me time and time again and is now the perfect chair for either one of my boys. The bulletin board is a Goodwill find I covered with fabric and pinned down with nailhead trim {I ran out of trim and need to go grab another pack from Hobby Lobby!} I did this exactly like I did Tanner’s in this post.
The shelves were my favorite part to decorate. I found the cool orange mirror at TJ Maxx and knew I had to have it for his room. The coconut monkey is actually a drink holder I got from a vendor while walking on Savannah’s River Street. The football piggy bank and striped photo album are from Target.
This is his reading nook. He loves books. This kid will not go to bed without a story {or three}. He enjoys looking at books by himself too. I definitely have no worries about this one when he gets to Kindergarten!
The lamp was from Target {surprise, surprise}.
The nightstand was another curbside find from my neighbor, not sure why they were getting rid of it! It’s a great nightstand. The “Breckin” market tote was made from an Etsy seller a couple years ago. I used them as their Easter baskets. For now it holds some of his favorite bedtime buddies.
