Next stop on the tour is Sly's room, since - again - it was one of the first rooms to get fully set-up. It's also one of my favorite rooms in the house. Huge, cozy, and a great place to hang out with my son :-)
|
Sly's room is entered through a door in our bedroom. Love the rosettes in the woodwork! |
|
Remember this scratch-off paper from art class as a kid? |
|
For a one-year-old, this little boy has a palatial bedroom. |
|
I mean, he has a freaking sandbox in his room. (it's because my mom insisted on giving it to him as an Easter gift. And then we moved to a house with no yard.) Now it's a toy box!) |
|
You can see the curtains I made in the background. I decided to make
them thin, with not much drape in the width because 1. It cost half as much to make them
that way!! and 2. they are semi-sheer, so plenty of light comes in even
when they're closed all the time. |
|
Cute little table and chairs from IKEA - only $20. |
|
A little reading corner, a basket of blankets, and Starry Night. |
|
This bookshelf was Tom's when he was little. Now it holds Sly's board books (the books with paper pages are kept elsewhere, so he can't rip them). |
|
A close-up of the curtains. A cute button print (good for boys or girls!). It came from the quilting fabric section of JoAnn's. |
|
Anything in the room with planes used to belong to Tom when he was little. He used to be obsessed with them, and I think he aims to make Sly the same way. This picture is a good example of my attempt to mix "baby" decor with "big boy" decor. So we have pastels and primary colors mingling together around the room. But I think it looks okay...right? |
|
Cool metal planes on the wall. And a slide (also purchased by my mom). Seriously - being an only child has major perks ;-) |
|
Sly's crib with a Peter Rabbit tapestry above. And that cool globe has a nightlight inside. |
|
60's vintage shelf (look at those splayed-out legs!) to store some toys. |
|
Cute "Sly" train Tom's parents bought on their recent anniversary trip to Florence. |
And that's it!
I love it! I'm kind of jealous of Sly now lol
