Colin's Room Transformation

When we moved into our house, I was dying to paint and decorate my kid's rooms. I absolutely LOVE how they turned out! Here is Colin's room before we did anything to it

Bleh. B O R I N G!

My husband and his dad put up the cute chair rail and beadboard in the room, which I LOVE, and then we painted it this pretty color of blue! Lookin' good boys!


Here's how it looks today. I love the combination of white and brown together with ANY color.

Colin's crib with his blanket that was my inspiration piece, which every room's gotta have! -made by my sister-in-law, Ashley :)

I did not make his name. I had an idea of what I wanted to do and stumbled across these letter frames that were exactly what I had in mind, thanks to Hobby Lobby and their amazing sales! Lucky me! I only re-did the ribbon from white to brown so it adds a little more contrast

I also love to frame my kid's blessing outfits. I got this shadow box at Michaels and pinned my little man's suit right into it. Super Easy! Other half of my favorite room

My beloved rocking chair, that I spend alot of treasured time in, with Colin's quilt his Grandma made for him. I love this quilt and I love how she added ric-rac, buttons, and braided cross-stitch thread for tails! A special blanket for my special little man :)

This painting was done by my brother, Alan. I love it! It is so beautiful and takes me to a relaxing place. I love having it in my nurseries because of the baby pink and blue in it.

I chose this valance to help bring brown into the room. They are up with my favorite light-blocking panels that are my secret to training my babies to sleep in. Works great!

This was my last touch to his room. I added it right above his closet to represent how I feel about my baby. I love this quote and I love my angel baby

A friend of mine from college is an interior designer and on her blog she says that your house should represent who you are. You need to add your personal touch so when somebody comes into your house, they get a feeling of who you are and what is most important to you. She has a great blog about design ideas on a budget.
