I’ve been promising my three boys a bedroom makeover at the end of the summer, but what the heck, summer was like four seconds long. We’re already gearing up for back-to-school shopping and meet-the-teacher night. Somehow in the blur of recent weeks I dropped the ball and a big batch of boy bedrooms did not get made nor madeover.
I’m sure they don’t REALLY care; all they really wanted was to rearrange sleeping conditions. No one wants to sleep in the same room with the terrorist toddler, I have no idea why that is. Perhaps it’s his banshee-like shrieking fits capable of raising the dead, or his penchant for stripping off his diaper and peeing through the slats of his crib onto whatever happens to be in the ‘splash zone’ as we like to call it, who really knows?
In any case, I’ll just tell them I was just waiting for inspiration to strike, because I think it finally has. Behold:
How much in love are you with this rustic boy bedroom makeover, because I am in love so hard. It’s so effortlessly cool. Nothing is overwrought or fussy, the colors are simple and muted, yet there’s enough dynamic detail to really make it special.
Suddenly I find myself wishing I was a tween boy, or that I had a poster of a bison butt at the very least.
Head on over to Jen’s blog City Farmhouse to see much much more!

July 25, 2016 at 4:21 PMBelieve it or not, he has outsmarted duct tape. I know he’s ready to be potty-trained, but so far he hasn’t tried climbing out of his crib (fingers crossed, knock on wood), so I’m happy to keep him contained as long as he’s happy in there! Soon he’ll get a big boy bed and maybe he’ll be ready to kick the diaper habit for good.

July 25, 2016 at 7:09 PMAt least your kidlet doesn’t eat his own poo like my disgusting son used to in his cot. WHY?? I ask? Lack of protein, bored shite-less so had to create some shite to then be less shite-less, needing affection coz Mummy was passed out on the couch after cleaning the room out from previous ‘painting’ adventures from said shite? WHO KNOWS! Think yourself blessed my dear, it is only the ‘fountain of youth’ and not ‘drudgery of life’
On a happier note, LERV that done over room! I must make me a bed like that where I can sleep then hop on down to lay about reading “How to train your toddler from eating poo” manuals. Love the colours in that room, very calming. Perfect for a mother totally losing her marbles. Nice indeed.
