The Boys Room Makeover

Let's take a quick look as a reminder what this room use to look like shall we...

Before

I loved the look of this room! But as the boys get older it was time for some refreshing and making it "big boy" like.

If you want more to read more of the history of this room, yes it use to be the Master bedroom! So, you can read all about the boys old room look here. And then when it was the Master Bedroom here

Here is the vision in my head about what I wanted their room to look like now. Older and still boy like... Do we think my vision came to life?!

After

Fresh coat of paint on the walls, new carpet and some new bedding + accessories! Now we have an older boy room!!!

There are often many questions on that darker wall. The color is called Toasted Poppyseed in a flat finish by Kilz Brand. One of my favorite colors still after having it painted this color for almost 5 years! Our Cabin is the same exact color too!

The flag on the wall is from an amazing company called Dear Mushka, I'll share the link here for you to check out their online shop with so many amazing biblical meaning items and gifts!

The new carpet that we got is from Home Depot. Style name is called Boxton and the color of it is called Stonewashed. I went between 2 different colors; I am happy I went with the cooler ton...

I was a tad nervous about the rug being too big and overpowering most of the carpet, but it really ended up being the perfect size.

I am in love with this rub! I saw a friend on Instagram share it and immediately fell in love for the boy's room! The quality is great. It's thinner but plush and cozy. The size I got is a 9x12.

This end of the house gets a little chilly so layers on layers for bedding was the answer.  I'm such a sucker for bedding anway and have been loving the check print and mixing styles and designs.

The Beige Gingham Flannel sheets were a big hit for Tate and Beckett! They crawled into bed and were so surprised with how comfy and WARM they were. Flannel sheets are a total must during the winters in the Midwest.

I went with the dark gray duvet cover to help tie in the dark accent wall.

This quilt had my heart as soon as I came across it on Amazon. It is so super soft, and the small little cream detail adds the perfect touch to pull in the brown from the check bedding! 

Before I had even completed the look, I had envisioned in my head I stumbled upon these mid-century patted benches. They kind of speak for themselves if we are being honest here! They tie in with the "big boy" theme so well all while still keeping it well pulled together. I loved the wood tones and the price point is amazing for a high end look.

I can't wait to work on part 2 and show you how we are going to semi-DIY some boys desks on the other side of this room! Stay tuned:)
