In the winter I add heavier quilts to the boys' beds. These are quilts I picked up at Target about five years ago. In fact, I liked the quilt so much I bought one for Greg, and then a week later went back and bought one for Peter, who wasn't even conceived yet. (Very forward thinking of me, no? I contemplated buying the pink version too, but didn't.)
Uncle Mark gave the boys a new gazelle head for Christmas, which we added over the dresser between the beds. (Don't ask how I got that pointy thing through airport security. It involved a lot of socks and shoes.) We moved the bookshelf that used to be in the room into the garage, and then put the Mister's former bedside table in the boys' room.
The two small square frames hold tiny Chinese renderings of the boys' names. But they may come down, I think there is too much stuff up there. Maybe just the heads right next to each other?
As a part of January's Fix All the Things month, I added a plug-in swag pendant. There are no overhead lights or hardwired fixtures in any of the bedrooms of this house, and the single lamp did not provide enough light for the room. (We also added this pendant in the playroom as well.)

super cute! love the pops of orange and those huge pics over their beds! perfect!
ReplyDeleteIt looks fabulous. Everything but one set of antlers should come down--even better, move the display entirely and just leave the photographs. The clutter of the little things steal their impact.
ReplyDeleteThis is a fabulous room! I totally have boys room envy. Mine's 15 and hates change, so I'm stuck with his outdated red, yellow and blue scheme.
I love it. It looks great. I love the portraits and the orange lamp. - Brandy
ReplyDeleteAdorable! (and BTW, I don't think the framed names need to come down at all).
ReplyDeleteI love it, and was thinking even before I got to the part where you question the 2 smaller frames that I like the mini gallery effect
ReplyDeleteSo cute. I love those pictures of the boys over their beds.
ReplyDeleteI really love the colors in this room! My thought about the wall is to keep things as is, except switch out the small frames for 2 that are "cleaner" and ditch the ribbon hangers.
ReplyDeleteIt looks great! All of the details are just great!
ReplyDeleteI don't know about the frames; I would have to see how it looks the other ways. Unfortunately, I usually can't tell about anything until I can see it. Makes for interesting home renovation, that's for sure! I love all the orange, though, and those sweet beds. It's coming along really nicely.
ReplyDeleteAdorable! Love the quilts, the colors, and the light. I would agree about pulling the Chinese frames down and simplifying with the heads (does that sound strange?). :)
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog through Kim Macumber's blog...first time here! I love this boys room...so cute and fresh! Gonna check out your blog now...love finding a fun new blog :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great day (we are chilly here in L.A. today but not like you east coasters...but cold for us)!
Lisa I love this room! Can you tell me about the curtains, did you make them?
ReplyDeleteDanylle, the curtains are from ZGallerie, but that orange color has been discontinued. I think they still have the pattern in either green or gray.
