Today I am sharing my sons new room. We are due with our second baby in a couple months and because of the size and shapes of the bedrooms we decided to keep the nursery as the nursery and move my son next door into what was once the guest room.
We used this opportunity to re-design a room for him and get him excited about moving. He picked a Cars theme and was so excited throughout the whole process of creating his "new room." Today I am going to show you the tour of the room. I wanted to keep things, simple and neutral with the "theme" elements easy to swap out if my toddlers interests were to change.
A couple weeks ago I posted a video showing the decorating process for the room, you can watch that video here. Below is the video tour of the room.
Now lets breakdown each section of the room with some photos, everything I used will be linked at the bottom of the post!
We made the crib wall our accent wall, using a brick wall paper, his existing crib, a name sign and lights. I love the pop of black against the brick, complimented with the wood grain of the crib. This wall actually features no Cars
On the wall next to the door we have the dresser and gallery wall. This wall features all of the Cars characters and my son loves to look at them. This was a super simple and inexpensive design, we found the Route 66 sign at hobby lobby on sale for less than $10. Then I downloaded the Cars prints from Etsy, printed and framed them. It would be very simple to switch out these frames with different prints from Etsy if interests were to change.
On the opposite wall there is a little cutout between the two windows that I thought would create the perfect "reading nook." I started with a floor pillow and some additional pillows to create a comfortable sitting space on the floor. Then we hung a set of acrylic bookshelves on the wall to fill with his favorite books of the moment. Above the books I hung a set of "READ" letters. I painted three of them matte black, two with road lines and then on the final letter I used modgepodge to attach a piece of checkered scrapbook paper.
I love how this space came together and it ended up being our sons favorite part of the room. Every night we read books together in the nook.
