a little boy space

Decorating and redecorating is a sort of disease for me. I am never fully satisfied with what I have going on in my house and constantly need to change it up. My poor husband is really patient and doesn't complain when my entire stash of fabric is strewn across our bedroom floor for weeks while I attempt to make a crib bumper (not easy). Anyway, I am finally happy with it (for now)! 

the pint-size crib alcove. perfect amount of space.





I felt like William was outgrowing the soft blue, newborn baby feel in his nursery (here's what it looked like before). He is turning into a little boy and I want him to feel like he can have fun in his bedroom. So, with that in mind, I removed his crib bumper and started to make my own out of this adorable polka dot fabric using this tutorial (though I didn't follow it to a tee). I also made the crib skirt using this tutorial from Young House Love, which is so way totally awesome.



these black out curtains have changed my life.

Lamps from IKEA which I painted and added trim.

mom: this is where you can sleep if you come visit me.

One of the challenges of this room is that it serves a double purpose as a nursery and a guest room. Luckily I had a birthday coupon from Anthropologie and purchased these shams for the bed (and I already had the rest of the bedding - including that awesome quilt my sister-in-law made).

Remember this barn painting I did a couple of years ago? I'm gladf I kept it! It feels so much more cheery now!
