Toddler's Room Inspiration

My baby is becoming a LITTLE MAN and it is time to transform his room.

Okay I am going to be honest here, it is time to decorate his room for the first time. Until now, he has always had a miss match of furniture, curtains and bedding.....okay I am making it sound even better than it really is.  Let me start over.


Both of my boys came home to a closet.  That is right, not a closet in the sense of wow this room is so small, it feels like a closet, but an actual closet.  My closet. The very place where my husband and I put our dirty shoes, and hang our clothes.  


 I wish I could post pictures of my little boys' nurseries and show you how I  transformed their rooms from baby to toddler.  I can't. Our home was much smaller then. 


 Fast forward to today and each of my boys have a room to call their own. And it is time to decorate. We are just starting the process with my 3 year old's room.


Here are a few of my thoughts.....

This is it...here is the color scheme I have decided upon...but perhaps this room is a little too MATURE...hum.

(Pinterest)  Perhaps a touch of orange...

As always I am going to set a low budget for myself and attempt to redo my son's room for .....wait for it.....dunt.dunt.dunt.....$1000!  All in.  Completely finished....bed, paint, furniture, curtains, linens, and all accessories....and by the way I have already spent $250 on the bed.

 I have ordered this headboard from Tuesday Morning on sale for $249! 

Please join me in this transformation.  I am excited to share with you my process of taking a room from a blank canvas to fully furnished.  Along the way I will share a few DIY projects that you may want to try for yourself.  First step, fabric choices.....(by the way, have you guessed my accent color yet?)
