By now you have seen both of my girls’ rooms.  If you haven’t click HERE for Ruby Lou’s room and HERE for Miss Charlie’s room.   I worked hard on both of their rooms and Mr. Beck- my 4 year old- has been watching.  He wants a cool “Big Boy” room.  I am sure to him this means a car shaped bed, bright primary colors, and super-hero life sized vinyl people plastered on the walls… I. just. can’t. do. it.  I haven’t asked him what he wants for fear of an answer like this.  I know though if I make it cool and “boy” anything he will be super excited.  I just can’t do cheesy theme rooms, I’ll stick some super hero sheets under the a cute quilt or something. 😉

I’ve been saving up some cool stuff I have found on my thrifting adventures.

Mostly the idea for this room started with this horse painting.  I found it in a bin outside of a salvage store in San Diego.  It was falling apart from weather and the teal frame was in pieces.  I LOVED IT!  My husband was a little nervous, but for $8 I told him to just trust me.  I took it to my favorite framer in SD -ABC Frames in Escondido- and he fixed it right up for me just in time for me to drive it back home to Utah.

I love seeing the wear on the paper, it looks so manly!  This boy room is going to rock.

Here is a mood board I put together to help guide me along.

Big Boy Mood Board- room makeover

I’m hoping to:

1. build a platform bed with casters
2. paint the room grey with a larger darker grey horizontal stripe around the room
3. paint some old antlers my grandfather gave me
4. create a fort space for him to play

READY-SET-GO!

EEEeee!! This is going to be a lot of WORK!  But, it’s going to be so cool when I am done. YAY!
