A Simple Bedroom For A Little Boy

“He’s tender and bashful but boyish and brute impossibly clever and cunningly cute”

Hello hello buddies!! Today I have a fun room reveal for you! I’m sure it’s pretty obvious whose room it is, a certain little boy, of course! A little boy who just so happens to be turning SIX next month. I can hardly believe it.

When we moved 3 months ago, the hubs and I agreed that the boys’ bedrooms should take priority. Mainly because this was their first move into a new home and we really wanted to get them excited for the change. We did end up working on a couple of small projects before we tackled their rooms. But, that was because they ended up needing a little more work than we originally anticipated and we needed the extra time to get them ready. Oh and it may have taken me a bit to finally decide what I wanted to do, haha.

We were originally going to do navy shiplap in Braedan’s room but I just couldn’t commit to that plan. Even though I changed my mind many times, the room ended up being exactly what I wanted it to be. Its bright, simple, and refreshing. There are a couple of little odds and ends that need to be finished, like a random phone line sticking out of the floor, haha. I just couldn’t wait to share it any longer. So don’t mind that.

I tried to stay true to my style, a little mid century, some modern farmhouse with some vintage touches all while trying to represent him and displaying things that he loves. It is his room after all… I think I pulled it off and I’d love to hear what you think. So keep on scrolling for lots of pictures and all the links and sources at the bottom!

We were so fortunate to be given this bedroom set from the previous owners. They gave it to us for a steal, it’s in wonderful condition and it’s perfect for our little boy!

As many of you know, Mr Braedan loves Star Wars. So I knew I wanted to incorporate that into his room but without going overboard. I wanted subtle, so I was so excited to find this moon printable on Etsy as well as the patent Boba Fett print. Some mats and frames and there you have it, inexpensive artwork!

The valances are new and we already had all of the bedding so that really helped me to stay within my small budget. The bedding and valances are from Target.

I found a bunch of vintage pennants and I’ve been having fun incorporating them in our home. I think these add a nice pop of color against the white walls.

There you have it friends, I really think he loves it and that makes my Mama heart so happy. The whole room cost less than $200 to complete, thankfully we already had the majority of what we needed. Simple inexpensive decor is my favorite!

Thanks so much for stopping by today friends! I hope you enjoyed this little room reveal!

Blessings ❤ Bree

Mind the gap: Fit IKEA MALM over a tall baseboard

I forgot one thing when I ordered the MALM dresser : The baseboards in my apartment are very tall and very wide. So, when I installed it, I had a 4 cm gap between the wall and the back of the cabinet which was not aesthetically possible for me. As it is not possible to cut the back of dresser at the bottom to leave room for the tall baseboard, I decided that MALM should be raised. And it was much simpler than I had imagined. You’ll need: A MALM dresser (mine is a 6-drawer chest) Six oak bed legs (I think five would have been enough, but while I was there …) 6 mounting plates A piece of plywood the size of the bottom of the cabinet (I went to the hardware store next door, it cost me less than 5€) Screws White adhesive edging tape How to raise the MALM dresser above a tall baseboard Place the MALM upside down. Fix the plywood onto the underside of the MALM with screws. Predrill holes for the leg screws (if you have the same baseboard problem as me, make sure you measur...

IKEA KALLAX Queen Storage Bed

I built this prior to knowing this website existed, this probably would have saved some contemplation. For difficulty reference, I am no carpenter (electrician actually) and I built it with my right hand in a cast. We bought an old house with original hardwood flooring from the 40s so we were very concerned about damaging it. The casters on a normal bed frame put a lot of pressure on a small surface and we didn’t want it dented or damaged if things started a rockin …. Plus, a 40′s house has virtually no storage as you only needed 3 pairs of pants back then. IKEA material : 3 x KALLAX shelf units (4) 4 x KALLAX drawer kits 8 x KALLAX fabric boxes Non-IKEA material : 4 x 2×4 A grade (saves time) 2 x 2×6 2 x sheets 1/2″ plywood (what ever grade you want) 25ft x iron-on edge trim 100 x 3″ #8 wood screws 20 x 1-1/4″ #8 wood screws satin white paint Tools (I used) : Tape measure Drill w/ 1/8″ bit for piloting holes Impact driver for screws Table saw Miter saw Ass...
