The Big Boy Bed...
Being prego, and getting farther and farther along, I knew that we really needed to get things moving on Eli's new room and big boy bed. I had been looking online at cute bedding, trying to find something that was fun, very boyish, but not too "little boyish" so that it could grow with him. I knew we were going to spend some money on this stuff so I didn't want to get something that would need to be replaced in a few years. After much thought and consideration, we picked a super cute set from pottery barn kids, of plaids, and stars, in khaki, browns, and reds that makes a very cute bed! I also wanted to paint the room in a brown or khaki color....who knew there were 13 million shades of khaki out there! HA!
The bedding and paint color were actually one of the easiest parts of his room.....the furniture was the problem...I looked high and low to find exactly what I had pictured in my mind for his room. I originally wanted a bed with a trundle, but all the beds that I found I liked didn't have that option. BOO!!! Oh well, I guess his friends will just have to sleep on the floor with an air mattress. :) We decided on a cute twin bed, night stand and chest of drawers from Weirs. I love that store! Next was the "theme" of the room...Ryan had his opinions, and I tried consider what he wanted, but again trying to stay away from the toddler themed rooms. I decided on vintage baseball. Hobby Lobby is one of the best places to find decor and they had some great stuff to put in his room! I haven't gotten pics yet of the finished product, I guess we will have to save that for a later blog. Here is E the last day in his crib...
