Guest Bedroom Reveal

So back in February I mentioned that I was redoing my grandsons room and I am finally finished. :o)

When we puchased this home our grandson wasn't leaving <---(really? sheesh I can't spell today) LIVING with us at the time. But since he was going to be spending his summers with us, I let him pick out the decor. He saw the Noah's ark print at Kirkland's; that print started the whole animal theme to the room. Which was a good choice since this was also the guest room when he wasn't visiting. Unfortunately, this is the only picture I have of the room, all the others are on my pc that crashed.

Here is the room after they moved in: If you look in the bottom image you may see something familiar.....yes the entertainment cabinet that is now in the man cave used to be in his room. The little round table next to the futon will show up with a brand new look in a later post.

Now onto the present.
We pulled up all the carpeting and laid the Brazilian Cherry flooring ($175.00).  One wall was painted "Mountain Slate Blue" and the rest were left "Golden Crust".

Here is the room now: This room get plenty of sunshine during the day. It is perfect for a child.

The chair has changed since I took the photo. The shelf was in our room, the train was a Christmas present from a friend about 4 years ago. DH made the headboard back when he went from a crib to a big boy bed. The train night light was a giving to Devyn by my father and the rattle snake statue was a present from his uncle, this is the only piece of animal decor left in his room.

The pillow on the bed was made from a tablecloth and a graphic from The Graphics Fairy. The teddy bear 'Teddy' has been with my grandson since he was 6 months and boy does he look like it.........he has been washed so many times he is going bald! Personally, I think every little boy needs a 'Teddy'

The valance was made from the same tablecloth (can be seen in the first photo above). The subway art poster and the train photo was found at Hobby Lobby. The train prints are actually post cards that my father gave to my grandson. At the foot of his bed are Bugsy and Bogart. Since there cage is so big and has wheels we keep them on the floor. There is a towel placed under the cage so the food they kick out of the cage stays there and not all over the room. The re-used|refurbished  dresser •HERE• holds several train books/encyclopedias, an antique lantern and the railroad lantern my grandfather used. His Wii/games, Harry Potter books (he is a big fan and so am I), a little cd player (he loves music) and other personal items. The four small drawer hold controllers for the gaming system, movies, etc. Each basket has a label (lego's, cars, trains, etc) so he can put his toys back in there proper place. Larger toys are in storage container hidden under the bed. Wondering where his pj's, socks, etc are? In the closet. On the other side is a basket holding several stuffed animals and toys that my grandson sleeps with every night. And since baseball practice started Saturday, his glove, bat,etc is propped up in the corner next to the basket.

Behind the door is a "Transformer" name poster and a mirror turned into a chalkboard/chore list. I painted the frame the same color blue as the wall.

Here is the room again:

Enjoy your day,
