Big Boy Room

July 21, 2008 | Category:

These past weeks, we've been gutting Bear's room and turning it into a 'big boy' room. Emptied out all the extra clutter, patched the walls and ceiling, and CD took an old 4-poster bedframe we've had for years and DIY'd it into a really cool frame for his new queen size bed.

We had to upgrade him from the twins because Sara the dog MUST sleep with him and she totally hogs the bed, dude. Because his room will be painted in cream and white (with the red/white/blue curtains remaining) - we told Bear he could choose a color for his bed if he thought the wood was boring.

And he did. "Phantom Blue" and it totally rocks. We set it up last night, and I'll put a picture up in the photostream as soon as I think of it to show the "after" (although the room isn't done yet).

Can I just say, it's a little bittersweet to be cleaning out the remnants of the "little boy" years? I found myself hiding my tears more than once.
