L's bedroom

The second room we tackled was L's room. It had the most boring color ever. Like a yellowish, whitish, oldish looking room. I needed to bring some bold color in. Off to the paint store we went and Mr. L chose the color himself - Sailor'r Sea Blue by Benjamin Moore.
Then came the theme - He is all about planets. So that's what we picked. I'm sure we will change this theme pretty soon, as he grows he is getting more into sports, to be more specific - Basketball.
I totally see we doing some Celtics theme in a near future. Here are a few pictures of what the room looked like when we just moved in and what looks like today.
We kept the ikea shelves, bought him a big boy's bed, changed the bedding and the curtains. The shelves are cluttered with his Legos. I need to come up with a storage solution for his Legos sets before it gets out of hand. My plan is to have a Lego room in the basement. Many storage space, a table for him to work on it and some shelves to display his creations. For now, we will use this space and the playroom.
In the near future we will replace the carpet, probably install laminate flooring. Thank goodness for a handy husband :)





Stay Well,
