It´s been quiet around here lately as we are trying to enjoy our summer as much as possible.
I did however get a few small updates to our son´s bedroom done.
When I last showed you this room it looked looked like this:
Soon after moving in, we put in carpet scraps to reduce the noise that was being heard by our downstairs neighbour.
And then we moved furniture around and called it a day…. until this month. It was finally time to make a few changes to room to make it a little more playful.
Here are a few of the things we changed:
1. Paint:
One wall got painted in a dark teal to add a little more color and contrast to this room.
2. Furniture:
We got my brothers old high bed and new bed sheets. i am still searching for a nice set of bedding that will fit into the room better, but for now the navy sheets and bedding work out just fine.
We also changed the placement of bed and wardrobe.
3. Accent color:
I covered the toy box behind my son´s desk with green wrapping paper so it can serve as a “shelf” for pens.
I covered the cushions of our story-time armchair in new fabrics.
(Both fabrics I got inexpensively at Ikea). The chairs are still from my childhood.
So, what is left to be done?
1. We need a real rug/carpet to cover the floor.
2. I would like to create some kind of art station/desk area, as for now, paints and art supplies are all over the house.
3. I would like to add some artwork to the walls or create some kind of board so my son can display his creations.
All in all, these small updates cost less than 50$ (Paint, Paint Supplies and Fabrics).
