@ DS's big boy room (PIPs)

[simpsongal]

Okay, taking a break from all the debate reading/chatter to post pics of my DS's "big boy" room.  I'd been promising pics of his room on MMM for a while, hopefully CEP folks are interested.  Sources of material listed below too


Map from National geographic, duvet from Restoration Hardware, bed from World Market, Lamp from Overstock, hanging plane from Tuesday Morning, hanging orbs from TJMazz, "James" letters from Michaels, night stand TJ Maxx


Desk - vintage from my grandfather (I refinished), chair antique, blinds from blinds.com, drapes from TJMaxx, Curtain rods from JCP, dresser vintage from my great aunt (I refinished see before pic below), book organizer from TJMaxx, industrial shelf DIY (material from Home Depot), plane mobile CL pottery barn find, desk lamp from DH's grandmother, plane art from Amazon


mirror and shelf TJMAxx, vintage train drawing etsy find - closet doors faux finished to look like steel (sorry the closet doors are sideways)

 
wool rug from overstock, fan from fanimation

close up of the DIY shelf and before of great aunt's dresser in our garage (so much sanding, the veneer was in decent shape so I just sealed it w/dark poly furniture wax).

I sort of built the room and vintage travel theme around it.  When my folks were here a few weeks ago we didn't know the final jeopardy answer (i.e., Baffin Island) - we all ran upstairs to find it on the map

[JLV]

[wakka]

[eclaires]

Adorable! Love it!

[lilac05]

That looks great! I love huge maps, and am always looking for a place to put one in my house!

[2doxies]

I want this!!

[sfy]

It looks good and you did a great job refinishing the furniture!

[pugz]

awesome! Love the furniture and the giant map!

I feel bad I've put so much energy into the new baby's room that DD1s room is kind of sad. There is nothing on the walls, lol.

You've got time!  I know, I need to finish sprucing up the nursery for DD too.  I can't wait to tackle her next room, but that's far down the to do list.

we moved her up to a big girl bed with new bedding but haven't figured out any kind of wall art yet.  Someday.

Wow, that is fabulous, great work!

I love it. Cohesive but not "matchy".

[OscarQ]

Very cool room and will age well with him.

You did such a great job. I love the map, and the fact that you incorporated various travel themes!

I LOVE that.

[WOT?*]

You did an awesome job. I'm exhausted just thinking about how much time and effort you put in to it.

[definitelyO]

OMG - love it!! and it's a design that can grow with him!

[Michelle]

OMG i love it all.

In fact so much of it (metal meets wood, a little bit of steampunk inspired art/wheels/vintage travel/etc) is how I wanted to decorate my sewing room!

[emisi]

Dang, I'd like a room like that. IT's so cool!
