Big Boy Room Design Update

Brady has now officially moved into his big boy bedroom.  The transition has been much easier than I anticipated and he is doing great sleeping in his new bed (he was previously in the crib).  It's a little sad to see him move out of the nursery, but I love the way this room turned out so much that I'm just concentrating on that.  So, on to the pictures:

Here is the view looking into the room from the doorway.  We used two different colors of blue for the walls and the ceiling is actually also a very light blue.  We searched long and hard for the perfect ceiling fan and I love how this one looks in the room!  The rug is from Land of Nod and the curtains were purchased from Amazon.

Stepping into the room looking towards the corner:

The pillowcases are the transportation themed bedding from Dwell Studio.  I have plans to incorporate more of that decor into the room, but haven't done it yet.

Here are a couple of before and after shots to show the dramatic change.  The room was basically empty before and Brady would go in there sometimes to play in his tent.

I absolutely love the way the room turned out, and so does Brady!

A couple of sneak peeks...

We've been busy getting Brady's big boy room ready and made some great progress this weekend!  We touched up the paint that we had worked on the weekend before, installed the fan, put the bunk beds together, and hung the curtain rod and curtains.  Now it's starting to look like a room ready for a big boy!

We still need to buy mattresses, mattress cover, sheets, pillows, and such for the bed.  We also have plans for a cool wall unit where we can store toys and books and need to figure out the rest of the furniture that will go in there.  And then there's the question of what goes on the walls.  So, lots more to do, but Brady is already excited about what he calls "new room!" and loves to run in there and play.  Here is a sneak peek at the big boy in his new room:

We're also getting ready for Brady's 2nd birthday party and the invitations have gone out!  Here is the front:

And the back of the invitation:

I'm working on some cute stuff for the party and will continue to work on the big boy bedroom, so more pictures to follow!
