Hello mates! Courtney (Melissa’s daughter) right here. I’m completely happy to be on the weblog at this time sharing somewhat tour of my son Forrest’s bed room at our new home (the Lake Home!).
Final month we moved into our new house (and my parents-in-law moved with us into the decrease degree MIL suite! I shared extra about that right here). We’ve been having fun with it a lot and are having enjoyable as we begin to make it our personal.
One of many first rooms we determined to personalize was Forrest’s room. It has a stunning view and a large amount of area, and we had been excited to offer it a contemporary new look!
Right here is the place we began:
The earlier than: A darkish brown wall, brown floral curtains, medium blue partitions with brown painted bamboo on an accent wall.
Right here it’s now! I can’t imagine how a lot lighter and cheerier it bought in right here simply by portray the partitions (Misty by Sherwin Williams) and swapping out the curtains. The ceiling mild nonetheless stays for now…house takes time, proper?. 🙂
It’s so candy to think about this room as soon as being a beloved children’ area for the household who lived right here earlier than us. I even seen little marks on the ceiling that had been in all probability from glow-in-the-dark stars, similar to those I had in my room as a baby. It warmed my coronary heart. Now it feels further particular to be making a childhood bed room for my very own son to develop up in. I hope it’s a room he’ll keep in mind ceaselessly!
All through this submit, you’ll spot most of the identical items from Forrest’s nursery in our outdated home (the townhouse we rented earlier than shopping for this house!).
You’ll additionally see some new additions that make this area really feel like such a ‘grown-up’ toddler room together with:
I’ve linked all different sources on the finish of this submit!
Forrest’s first desk and chairs! He makes use of this desk each day already and I do know it is going to be nicely used for years to come back. I sit up for him having playdates right here–I can simply think about two little ones sitting collectively coloring or sharing snacks!
This set is actually sturdy and nicely made, I extremely suggest in case you’re on the lookout for one thing prefer it. I like that one of many chairs is a giraffe and one is an elephant!
I’ve had this home formed shelf on the highest proper for years–I’m requested about it on a regular basis, so I used to be so excited to seek out this related home shelf! I hung each collectively to make this somewhat “animal home” nook. It’s a candy spot to show a few of his favourite treasures and he has quite a lot of enjoyable taking part in with the one which’s inside his attain. He was delighted after we hung them!
This gingham mini chair is the cutest ever. You’ll be able to typically discover Forrest plopping himself down right here to “learn”. The chair is available in different material choices and one other chair form right here, too.
(Additionally, why does chair this make him look so grown up!!!! Ah!)
It’s been so good to have this Montessori bookshelf to show a few of his favourite books! He enjoys having these proper at his degree to select totally different ones to learn every day. I used to be captivated with the cane detailing and am actually impressed by the standard, too.
The little carved wooden stool was in my room as a baby–so nostalgic and particular to have in right here!
This crib sheet and blanket had been love at first sight. I like all of the whimsical little particulars to have a look at!
These pom pom baskets have been so nice for grouping collectively totally different objects in right here. I like the concept of rotating toys and switching out what’s on this low basket occasionally–for now it’s holding a musical instrument set! This low basket would even be a pleasant dimension for storage underneath the crib. We’ve an identical hamper for extra toys, and somewhat bin for diapers and wipes.
The elephant canvas is a portray that my parents-in-law had in our storage, and I didn’t even understand till after we hung it that it was painted by my sister-in-law! So particular that we will inform Forrest his aunt painted it, and it matches so properly in his room.
The mirror was right here after we moved in and it’s flooring size, however I simply set this console in entrance of it for now. I like having the mirror right here since you may see the lake within the reflection, and I’m pondering we may add some type of cool wooden body round it will definitely! (Additionally the angled wall hooks on the left had been there after we moved in too…a bit extra of an “artsy” selection than I’d usually do haha 🙂 so that can change ultimately too!).
The little Beatrix Potter 3d wall plate by the closet door was additionally in my childhood bed room!
By the best way, in case you’re on the lookout for completely lovely, giftable clothes and nursery items for little ones, I can’t suggest Pehr sufficient. Their designs are stuffed with the sweetest prints, softest materials, and timeless types that really feel particular for on a regular basis put on and ideal for gifting. They’re nice high quality–the form of stuff you’ll need to maintain for future little ones or move down as keepsakes!
