Updating My Son's Room
My son turned 11 last week. He had a great time celebrating his birthday with friends.
At the end of the day as we settled back into our routine, he asked if we could change out the pictures in his room. He wanted a more age appropriate room. In other words, the cute dragon themed room had to go!
So for the past week I've been working towards updating his room. I hired help to add a plank wall to his room. I'll give you all the details of how we did it and what materials we used once his room is finished.
My son loves it so far and I couldn't be more pleased. I ordered a new rug, pillows, bedding and artwork, just waiting for them to arrive in the mail.
Once everything arrives we'll decide on a new paint color for the walls. My son's only request is that it I choose a shade of blue. Decisions, decisions...

ReplyDeleteI love that plank wall. Why do our kids grow up so fast? I know your son's room is going to look fabulous. Happy Birthday to your handsome son.
ReplyDeleteThe wall looks great already! I can't wait to see what you choose for bedding and wall art!
ReplyDeleteI remember getting my "big girl" room :) The dragons are so cute, but I know he's ready for a change. Can't wait to see how everything turns out.
ReplyDeleteThat wall looks amazing! How fun changing things in kids rooms!
ReplyDeleteThey do grow up so fast, don't they? Now he is a handsome young man and not a child any longer. The dragon theme was very cute, but I am excited to see what you do in his room now. I really love the dark wood. Happy Birthday to your son! xx
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to your handsom big guy. It's sad when they outgrow their "little boy" rooms. :( But I like the direction you're going with his new room.
ReplyDeleteThe wall looks good! Looking forward to seeing more :) Happy Birthday to your son :)
ReplyDeleteThey grow up way too fast, don't they?!! I am in love with that planked wall. Very masculine. I am thinking a nice steely blue gray would be awesome!! Can't wait to see what you've come up with. We only do the girly thing over here! LOL
ReplyDeleteWow, his room is going to look awesome. Happy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteAs much fun as it is updating their rooms.. it just sucks that our kids have to grow up. Have I mentioned that I hate it! : )
Happy Birthday to your son Brandi. The wall looks amazing. Can't wait to see the finished room.
ReplyDeleteHi Brandi! I'm also in the middle of transitioning from "not-so-big" to "big boy" room myself, so I can't wait to see what the planked wall and the rest of the room look like when you're done. Have a great day!

The wall looks fab so far. My daughter turned 10 last week. She's so excited to "finally" be in the double digits!!! Can't wait to see the finished product! Great Job!
ReplyDeleteAhahah Brandi, my daughter is 11 too! I know how they are!
ReplyDelete"cute dragon themed room had to go! "

We need to accept. Now it's a new phase.

Wow loving the sneak peek of the wall. can't wait to see the finished result
ReplyDeleteI love the plank wall !!!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy this time with your son, Brandi.
ReplyDeletePretty soon he'll be demanding that you remove all the "fancy stuff" and put his mattress on the floor. Add a mini fridge and he's a happy camper.
Yes, I nearly fell over when my son told me that! LOL
