Boy to Man Bedroom Makeover
Last year, my older son decided he wanted a more adult room. He was starting his senior year of high school and was over his Jets themed room. I could see why he was ready for a change and was excited to get started, until he told me what his idea of an adult room was. Brown walls and brown bedding – that’s it, nothing on the walls, not even curtains.
This is how his room was for a year. He was happy and I actually love the color. It is warm and cozy, like a cup of hot chocolate. I did manage to get a picture hung on a wall and switched out his roller shades for bamboo blinds.
The wall in his room has a cut out, I thought it gave the room some interest. Who doesn’t like a nook?
I decided to trim the shelves using the vintage yardsticks that I have been collecting for another project.
The shelves are like taking a walk down memory lane. I filled a jar with toys he played with when he was little. Play- do, finger skateboards, scooter handle grips, rubber ducks from camp, matchbox cars and other little gadgets. I finished off the shelf with a couple of books and his Rubix Cubes.
My second favorite thing in his room is the headboard.I diy’d the headboard by upholstering individual boards and hanging them on the wall. Since his bed is in the corner, I decided to continue the boards around the corner almost like a daybed.
