Well, it's on with the tour over at Kelly's Korner. I absolutely LOVE Carson's room. We spent so much time planning and buying everything that we wanted to put in his room. His crib has been converted into this full bed. We had a very cute Pottery Barn crib/bumper set. I found this great bed spread and sheet set which is very similar to it and it goes perfectly with his room. Grandma Anne made the red blanket on the bed... one of many she has made for Carson.
I bought this picture at Target. I wanted the one at Pottery Barn, but it was $99. I found this for $40 at Target! What a great buy!
His nightstand was purchased at Wood You, and Daddy painted it red.
Daddy made the navy cubes below. I wanted something with a large opening that would hold his large picture books. Needless to say, I'm a teacher and he has a lot of books. The books you see aren't all of them.
Pails were on sale at Pottery Barn! (I just love that store.)
This armoire matches his headboard/crib.
Love his glass jars with cars and blocks in them. Notice his name is spelled with the blocks.
His closet door- Daddy has put shelving in the closet so we can hold more toys, but it is a scary sight!
We bought the old fashioned wood truck at Apple Butter Makin' Days when I was pregnant. We thought it would go perfectly with his nursery. The Texaco bank was a fun find for his theme also. Grandma Pat bought him the little boy statue which is holding a toy plane- one of his favorite things.
We had so much fun doing his room. After waiting 8 years to be able to decorate a nursery, we just had the time of our lives doing it. Now that he's growing up, the changing table and rocker are gone- but I think the transition to big boy room was easy with the choices we tried to make so he could grow with it. There are, of course, other things I would like to do with some of the blank spaces on the walls, but it will get done eventually. Now the play room is a whole other story... definitely a project for this summer!
This is a neat airplane propeller hook that I hung behind the door. I got it from my aunt Carol, and this is the perfect spot for it.
I don't have everything on the walls that I want, and my after pictures were probably too close. So you can't see as much of the room, but it'll have to do for now. When I add more, I'll have to re-post. I am so happy to have the hard part done- paint. Now, I can collect the fun things for his walls as I find them.
