Zack's Big Boy Room

This by no means will make it into a design magazine or even pinterest for that matter. However Zack and I like it and up until now I am sure Adam was excited to walk into Zack's room to see whatever new item we added.

The comforter is made from some fabric, a flat sheet from Ikea and the cheapest twin duvet from Ikea. I like that it will be something that can grow with him. I found the big letters at Hobby Lobby and the "art" is a foam board that Zack and I painted together. I trimmed it with some ribbon because the sides get dented easily.
In his perminant room I plan on painting thick stripes (lt. gray and med. gray) on the wall with his name. 

The gallery wall...specifically the yarn wrapped letter took a very long time. I love how personal everything is. I think my favorite is the silhouette of Zack bouncing the ball. I also love that I can use free digital paper and picmonkey to add the bible verse (in a frame I already had, painted with paint I bought on sale) for pretty much no cost.
The turtle bank is from our trip to Bali while I was pregnant with him. 

The felt board is my favorite touch. Again foam board (on sale with a coupon taking 25% off sale items) covered in felt (bought with a 60% off coupon) ready for Zack to play with. I quickly cut out some shapes to make sure it worked...and I recently found sheets of felt on a major sale so I can cut out more shapes for him to play with.
Looks like we need to work on spelling his name

Everything hanging on the wall is low but with the mattress on the floor it looked silly to hang things any higher. The only change I plan on making for our perminant home is painting the wall a medium gray, painting the furniture a dark navy, and using the wood pallet I picked up from a dumpster to make a rustic headboard. I am still looking for a good area rug and I need to hem the drapes but other than that I love looking at it and Zack enjoys sleeping in there and playing with his felt wall.

  1. It's so cute! I was JUST going to ask you if you wanted to make felt boards, but you beat me to it, ha! Maybe we can do a felt exchange with story things and such.
