Well, I can safely post about Barrett’s Blue Room. I think, for now, we’re in the clear. When we moved B into his new room, I had great fear that the transition would be a bumpy one but Barrett has been rocking out his big boy room like it’s nobody’s business. To date, we’ve had no escape attempts, no sleepless nights and truly, we’re counting our lucky stars. I’ve heard many-a-horror story regarding the transition from crib to bed and had prepared myself for some momma drama but so far, my friends, soooo good.
Here are all the details on his digs… for anyone who’s interested:
Before:
{I know. I should have taken a real before pic. But I forgot.
You’re lucky I have this one.
Prior to painting, this room served as a guest room with a queen bed and the same hue of builders’ beige that coats much of our casa}
After:
{The main view of the room from the doorway…}
In Between:
{I hate painting. I’ve given the old college try several times over but there is no love between the paintbrush and myself. Luckily… my sweet, fantastic, and selfless friend, Jess, loves to paint. And asked if she could help do B’s room… hmmm… let me think on that… OKAY!
She paints without taping. Below is a perfect example of my attempt at edging with this method. It did not go well. Let’s be real, Jess painted the room and I, watched it dry}
{Paint complete! I love the blue hue!
Barrett does too…
for weeks before we moved the furniture in,
he’d go stand in the doorway and talk about his “Boo woom”}
{A few keepsakes for Mr. B}
{A bin for books, toys and whatevers topped with his new Twilight Turtle.
Each night B beams as he selects the “curtle” star color.}
{A closer view of the plaid bed where our sweetpea lays his head}
{Guardrail. Tres’ necessary.}
{Transportation-themed sheets. Plaid bedding.}
{Green and red, next to the bed.}
{bRIGHT pICTURES adorn the wall}
{A dresser to grow into.}
{A perfectly placed bookshelf… nope, we didn’t plan that and we hadn’t measured.
A gift from Grandma and Grandpa E that fits to a t.}
And so, the great green room is handed down to Grin.
And the great blue room, well, it’s only just begun!
