If you’ve been reading my blog long enough, you will know I have 3 boys. So, there is not a lot of pink in this house! And because I have 3 boys, I find it hard to come up with 3 different boy designs. I wanted them all to have different looking rooms and rooms that suit their personality. I am a big believer in having a nice bedroom. I like my own bedroom to feel like a sanctuary and I like it to be fresh and clean. I don’t like unmade beds, and I don’t like clothes lying on the floor. We spend 1/3 of our lives in bed and a good night’s sleep is more important than anything else in the world. I have been teaching my children about the importance of a nice room. YES, they are rough and messy and stink, but the smiles on their faces when they know they have fresh sheets, or a cool pillow, or a fun wall print in their special space is priceless. Their wives will be thanking me one day!
I have been thinking about their room’s for months and I think I am almost there… I have some more styling to do in all of them and I am on the hunt for specific artwork for 2 rooms, but today I thought I would give you a little peek (if you were on Instagram over the weekend you’ve probably already seen these photos)…
This is my eldest’s room. He is 11. He has a bright green bedside table, and neon yellow chair and grey and yellow accents. The cover is from Adairs (I think they still have them online), the skull cushion is from Etsy, the name cushion is from Hampson Homewares (search on Facebook), the antlers are real but need mounting on the wall (my adult nephew passed them on!) and the yellow chevron cushions were made by Tractor Girl (do you know how hard it is to find pillowcases to buy!?). I am on the hunt for a big piece of graffiti art to finish his room off.
This is my middle child’s room. He is 8. The doona cover is from Sheridan Pop (I am trying to find the matching pillowcases as when I bought it I was blonde and didn’t realise the pillowcases came separately!), the green striped sheets are from Ezibuy, the name cushion is from Hampson Homewares and the full-wall world map is from The Wall Sticker Company. I will do a whole blog post on this wall when I have finished off this room.
This is my youngest child’s room. He is 6. The red doona cover and navy striped sheets are from Ezibuy, the name cushion is from Hamspon Homewares, the name number plate is from Ebay and the Union Jack ottoman is from The Reject Shop. I am on the hunt for a cool bedside table for this room and a big piece of art.
All the boys also have white shelves/bookcases like this here in their rooms. This is where I sit all of their lego, awards, trophey’s and precious things. The wall colour in all rooms is stark white and I just love it.
PS. I definitely need a new camera (instead of the iphone with filters!) to show you these rooms. Haha, but I am sure you can use your imaginations 🙂
PPS. Below is a chair I bought at a garage sale – the guy had turned a bed head in to a bench chair. I just need to style it. I have a couple of seat cushions to pop on top and a print above it. I’ll share that when it’s done.
Have a great day! I’m off to Albury to spend the day with my family. X
