all boy, all adventure bedroom

This room was such a fun project! Little Simon was getting a new big boy bedroom! It was an empty space and after talking things over with Simon's parents, we agreed on an all boy bedroom with touches of vintage. I got to work. However, there are so many ways to go with boy decor. For my own sake, I needed to figure out how to keep this vintage boy's room cohesive. I found this paper bag (see below) that read, 'When looking for adventure, leave the map behind.' Perfect. I cut it out and framed it and I feel that it pulled everything together! I failed to get a close-up of the curtains I made for them. I used these curtains from Target (in gray) and I absolutely loved the look of it! Something else I wanted for this room was for it to grow with him. And I think it will. I hope that it feels like a room that works for the 2 year old Simon and the 10 year old Simon.

Here's the finished product!

(Note to self: if you see a cute bag, just buy it and use it for inspiration another day! This bag cost me a couple of bucks and I was able to cut off one side and frame it. Perfect! There are so many cute bags that you could make a collage out of!)
