Hello buddies! Courtney (Melissa’s daughter) right here. I’m comfortable to be on the weblog immediately sharing a bit of tour of my son Forrest’s bed room at our new home (the Lake Home!).
Final month we moved into our new residence (and my parents-in-law moved with us into the decrease stage MIL suite! I shared extra about that right here). We’ve been having fun with it a lot and are having enjoyable as we begin to make it our personal.
One of many first rooms we determined to personalize was Forrest’s room. It has a stunning view and a large amount of house, and we had been excited to provide it a recent new look!
Right here is the place we began:
The earlier than: A darkish brown wall, brown floral curtains, medium blue partitions with brown painted bamboo on an accent wall.
Right here it’s now! I can’t consider how a lot lighter and cheerier it bought in right here simply by portray the partitions (Misty by Sherwin Williams) and swapping out the curtains. The ceiling mild nonetheless stays for now…residence takes time, proper?. 🙂
It’s so candy to think about this room as soon as being a beloved youngsters’ house for the household who lived right here earlier than us. I even seen little marks on the ceiling that had been most likely from glow-in-the-dark stars, identical to those I had in my room as a toddler. It warmed my coronary heart. Now it feels additional particular to be making a childhood bed room for my very own son to develop up in. I hope it’s a room he’ll keep in mind ceaselessly!
All through this put up, you’ll spot lots of the identical items from Forrest’s nursery in our previous home (the townhouse we rented earlier than shopping for this residence!).
You’ll additionally see some new additions that make this house really feel like such a ‘grown-up’ toddler room together with:
I’ve linked all different sources on the finish of this put up!
