Zoning In – a tween boy bedroom makeover

How was your weekend?  Mine was great!  Matt and I met up with our good friends in Vegas for one last little getaway before the baby comes, wherein I managed to drag my 8-months-pregnant body to a Third Eye Blind concert. That got me some attention. (And a front place in line thanks to a security guard who took pity on me).  (And hit on a couple of times too, GROSSWEIRD).

Anyway, I love 3EB; they were just as good as I remember from my alt-rock loving teenager days.  My friend Shanell super loves them, and fought to the death for a drumstick that was tossed into the crowd.  She won. It was pretty epic stuff.

And now, back to the grind! A tween bedroom makeover is coming your way, courtesy of Vel whose son had an abundance of stuff, and an abundance of space.  Not such a bad problem to have. It just needed some ‘zones.’  Previously it was one big ‘stuff lined up against the walls’ zone.  Now he has a ‘sleeping zone’ an ‘entertainment zone’ and a ‘study zone’ and even a ‘cute little reading nook zone.’  (I’m sure he calls it something much more manly).

Lot’s more to see on Vel’s blog Life & Home at 2102.

 

Perfect idea for this awkward dormer space. Kind of jealous my teenager self didn’t have such a rockin’ space. Ok, I’m really jealous.

The bold blue wall and stripes tie everything together, even wrapping into the nook area.  Check out all the detail shots at Life & Home at 2102.
