A room fit for a boy...

 For a couple months now I have wanted to change Logan's room to a toddler room but I just did not want to invest a lot of money in it since I know in a couple years he might want a themed room. Researching some cute rooms online I fell in love with Pottery Barn. I loved the plaids and the rich colors and the simple themes through out the room. My goal these last couple months was to redo logans nursery and make him a room that I loved.


I was never a fan of Logan's nursery, but here is the room before the change.

My sweet mother in law did help me and make a curtain,bed skirt and bed spread that I love and will use for next baby. However, I could not find a picture. You get the idea. The room is small.

After Logan turned one I started redoing his room. Looking through Pottery Barn's website I loved the idea of trees on the wall. I went to this link for the tree idea.

Here is the tree...

The other idea I got from Pottery Barn was to use bold colors in the furniture. We are using my baby dresser in Logan's room and I took a risk but painted it red. The same red left over from one wall in our master bed room.

I spray painted the handles a color that we have used on a couple mirrors in our house.

The next couple pictures are the finished room with the price break down. I was trilled that we spent very little for a very similar look that would have cost a lot more.

Used the laterns to store items that I really do not want Logan just to have out. The silver one has crayons in it. The black one has markers and the teal one has colored pencils. I have had all these stored else where and got them after school started a couple years ago. Pottery Barn used laterns for toys and marbles which was really cute!!!

                                             * I did look at Home Goods, TJ Max and Marshalls and they have items like this for a lot less. I really wanted certain colors,so I did spend a little bit more on this than I wanted. However, it is a great brand and will last!

                                        Tree paint was old from our hall bathroom.

 I love how organized every room Pottery Barn showcases. I know kids do not really live in those rooms but I wanted something like that.
