A Beach Boy's Bedroom (Reveal)

We live very close to the beach and my four year old is the ultimate beach boy. He LOVES to feel the sand between his toes, explore the tide pools and ride the waves! His room is filled with treasures we've found on the beach and antiquing.
When we moved in. His room was pink and he sure wasn't happy about that! Here is the before:
Now it is a very pale green. We color matched Farrow & Ball's Pale Powder and used Benjamin Moore paint. This color goes with anything and is so very restful. His room is filled with one of a kind piece. A driftwood height chart, subway sign chest, a map wreath etc.
A grain sack dresser:
This is most definately a room where you can smell the sea air.

      @Kc Nordquist I haven't written a post about doing the map wreaths yet. But Marian from Miss Mustard Seed has a tutorial in her book. You trace a plate on cardboard and cut it out. Then you make paper cones with pages. They can be book pages, maps, music etc. I use hot glue for this. Then you do two layers of the cones on the wreath. Starting with the top and bottom and two side. Then fill in between. On the front I do smaller cones. The one in Conor's room was the first I did so it is a bit more haphazard and funky, but I think that adds to the playfulness of his room. x
