I wanted to share a few more pictures with you of Benjamin’s room. A few people had asked what he thought of his new room. He was so thrilled with the blue walls and talked about it for days. Now he calls it his blue room. I was actually surprised by how much he cared and it made me feel a little bad I hadn’t painted it sooner. He also loves the polka-dots and likes to point and say “green circle” “orange circle” “white circle”, etc…
I am so glad that I FINALLY painted it and I especially love how great the stencils turned out. The best part is, I have leftover paint in the colors of the polka-dots to use for future projects.
I painted three Ikea spice racks with the lime green paint to use as bookshelves.
I used simple sticky tack and flash cards I got at Target to write out Benjamin over his closet. I like how cute this looks and how ridiculously easy it was.
We already had this little red Ikea table. I love the look of different colored chairs. These also happen to coordinate with the polka-dots. These adorable Haba Fantasy Blocks
were a gift from Grant’s parents.
were a gift from Grant’s parents.
I made these two paintings for Benjamin when he was just a little baby. I have big plans to make a third painting and post a tutorial.
I can’t decide between these books:
1. One Fish Two Fish
2. Fox in Socks
3. Green Eggs and Ham
4. Hop on Pop
5. Chicka Chicka Boom Boom
What do you all think?
Turquoise is such a beautiful color. Two of my favorite color combinations are Turquoise & Red and Turquoise & Blue. I combined (and safely mounted) two Ikea cube shelves that had been in Benjamin’s old nursery. The lime green bug wall light from Ikea (did not turn out well in the picture) looks very cute against the new turquoise/blue wall. The dark blue cloth bins are from Target and fit perfectly in the cubes.
Rach the room looks great! I vote Green Eggs & Ham, best book ever! I am not sure if the colors would go well but it might just be worth it. Hope you are doing well!!
Cute cute cute! I vote for Green Eggs too!
I vote Hop on Pop:)
I vote One Fish! I'm totally stealing the flash card idea – love it!
No vote from me on the book, but I wanted to say, what luck that the blue bins from Target fitted in the IKEA bookshelf! I'll be off to Target to see if I can get some.
Green eggs too, love the room! how did you paint those pok a dots?? I want to do that but, I didn't want to make a mess out of the room so I decided against it! you got talent! I am your newest follower, come follow me!
Such a cute room!! I vote One Fish Two Fish!! I did my son's bathroom in that theme so we kind of like that book 🙂 Awesome job!!
I vote One Fish Two Fish. Love the mismatched chairs.
