Final month we moved into our new dwelling (and my parents-in-law moved with us into the decrease degree MIL suite! I shared extra about that right here). We’ve been having fun with it a lot and are having enjoyable as we begin to make it our personal.
One of many first rooms we determined to personalize was Forrest’s room. It has a stunning view and a large amount of house, and we had been excited to present it a contemporary new look!
Right here is the place we began:
The earlier than: A darkish brown wall, brown floral curtains, medium blue partitions with brown painted bamboo on an accent wall.
Right here it’s now! I can’t consider how a lot lighter and cheerier it bought in right here simply by portray the partitions (Misty by Sherwin Williams) and swapping out the curtains. The ceiling mild nonetheless stays for now…dwelling takes time, proper?. 🙂
It’s so candy to think about this room as soon as being a beloved youngsters’ house for the household who lived right here earlier than us. I even seen little marks on the ceiling that had been most likely from glow-in-the-dark stars, identical to those I had in my room as a baby. It warmed my coronary heart. Now it feels further particular to be making a childhood bed room for my very own son to develop up in. I hope it’s a room he’ll keep in mind without end!
All through this put up, you’ll spot most of the similar items from Forrest’s nursery in our previous home (the townhouse we rented earlier than shopping for this dwelling!).
You’ll additionally see some new additions that make this house really feel like such a ‘grown-up’ toddler room together with:
I’ve linked all different sources on the finish of this put up!
Forrest’s first desk and chairs! He makes use of this desk on daily basis already and I do know it is going to be properly used for years to return. I sit up for him having playdates right here–I can simply think about two little ones sitting collectively coloring or sharing snacks!
This set is basically sturdy and properly made, I extremely advocate for those who’re in search of one thing prefer it. I really like that one of many chairs is a giraffe and one is an elephant!
I’ve had this home formed shelf on the highest proper for years–I’m requested about it on a regular basis, so I used to be so excited to seek out this related home shelf! I hung each collectively to make this a little bit “animal home” nook. It’s a candy spot to show a few of his favourite treasures and he has lots of enjoyable enjoying with the one which’s inside his attain. He was delighted after we hung them!

The elephant canvas is a portray that my parents-in-law had in our storage, and I didn’t even understand till after we hung it that it was painted by my sister-in-law! So particular that we will inform Forrest his aunt painted it, and it matches so properly in his room.
The mirror was right here after we moved in and it’s ground size, however I simply set this console in entrance of it for now. I really like having the mirror right here since you’ll be able to see the lake within the reflection, and I’m pondering we might add some type of cool wooden body round it will definitely! (Additionally the angled wall hooks on the left had been there after we moved in too…a bit extra of an “artsy” alternative than I’d usually do haha 🙂 so that may change ultimately too!).
