We've been in Mom's house for several months now, and we're finally getting settled enough to start a little decorating. One of the first rooms I started on was the boys' room (Tanner's room).
Tanner had chosen gray, navy and blue as his colors in our other house, so we kept them here.
I created the headboards from old fence boards we brought over from our home. The boards were mounted on thin pieces of wood. They lean against the wall and the beds hold them in place.
I love the look and the blend of blues and grays we've used in the room.
The gray curtains I found at Red, White & Blue (a favorite thrift store) for $3.
I wanted a clever way to hang them and found conduit pipe at Home Depot that I had cut to fit (had to cut it twice!). Pipe ends finished the pipe curtain rod. At first, I was going to mount the curtain rod directly into the wall using short hooks, but the metal rings on the curtain didn't have room to move. I bought longer hooks and had to have Quinn stretch open the hook so that the rod would fit. We used another fence board for mounting the hooks. It works great.
I have been collecting both "T's" and hooks for a while; waiting for the perfect project that could utilize them. Yet another fence board became the base for mounting "T's" and hooks and became a spot for Tanner to hang jackets and coats.
I saw the sailboat at Michaels and LOVED it but didn't buy it for weeks until it was 40% off AND there was a coupon for an additional 25% off. The old suitcase I found at Goodwill and even though it was expensive--$14--I just had to buy it.
I set the suitcase on a folding canvas camp chair at the end of one of the beds. I'll put spare sheets inside the suitcase. Gray flat sheets are the bed skirts for each bed.
We added a wicker couch for some seating (pictures will come) and still have several other projects to finish for this room to be complete. The photos on the wall between the bed have changed. I'll post photos of that project soon.
