My Boy's Room

What create y'all instruct when y'all take away keep an xi yr one-time man child who collects everything inward the world, can't acquit to throw things away,

and loves to display it all?

A MESS!

Or, would this officially qualify every bit a HOT mess?  I intend so.  :)

After spending 8 hours concluding Sabbatum in addition to filling 2 large bags sum of trash, I'm laid to grade y'all a picayune tour!  Nothing is perfectly styled or "finished" yet, but here's where nosotros are correct now.

This was the room when nosotros moved in, afterward promptly removing the one-time carpet.  Quite the blank slate, no?

So far, all you've seen of my son's room on the weblog is this (click here to read virtually it):

I take away keep closed to plans to brand a few to a greater extent than drastic changes inward the spring, but genuinely I'm pretty happy amongst his room every bit is, it merely needs a few tweaks.

We did closed to rearranging inward lodge to endeavour to tally the drum laid in.  He has been asked to play the drums for a picayune youth grouping praise band, thence nosotros needed to laid them upwards thence he tin practice.  The solely other infinite to seat them inward the solid would live on my sleeping accommodation (no) or the constituent (full already) thence nosotros had to merely become far work.  His room is tiny, but past times pushing the bed against the wall nosotros were able to take away keep wages of closed to flooring space. 

 

I've likewise wanted to add together closed to panels to his window for a long time.  This window gets LOTS of Sun inward the mornings in addition to the forest blinds merely weren't helping enough.  I've had plans to brand some, solid khaki-even had closed to sheets that I was going to brand them with-and thence I came across these at my favorite sale the other day.  $169 regular cost (what?!?) for the dyad in addition to I got them for $12.  That's similar 92% off! Score!  And, I didn't take away keep to brand them...double score!

We cleaned off most of the shelves in addition to I left closed to empty on purpose, because I know to a greater extent than Lego ships volition honor their agency upwards there.

  

My dad made this breast when I was a infant in addition to it has lived amongst us since we've been married.  When nosotros were newlyweds it was our television set armoire (our television set was tiny!) but when Caleb was born nosotros moved it to his room.  Last yr I painted it dark in addition to added novel hardware.

I tried to corral a few of his favorite things, similar putting his mini football game helmets inward an apothecary jar.  We likewise used large nether the bed storage tubs for Legos, Nerf guns, etc.  He tin easily slide those out in addition to honor what he's looking for.

We went through a large Nascar phase.  These were pages from a calendar that I matted in addition to framed myself.  Inexpensive, slow artwork!

Here y'all tin come across his dark door that leads to the hallway.  I left all of the doors within the rooms white for similar a shot in addition to am merely fine amongst the mixed look.

So, this room is "in progress", to a greater extent than to come upwards inward the Spring!
