<\/p>\nOur family of four will be home Wednesday, and so far, so good.\u00a0 We wanted you to see the toddler boy’s camping themed bedroom we created for our new son before he moves in and loads it up with things that little boys love.\u00a0 There’s nothing like waiting till the last minute to put the finishing touches on a space!\u00a0 You do not see it in these pictures, but we were installing the bed rail the night before we left.\u00a0 I put the sources for everything at the end of the post, so if you see something you like or want, just click the link.<\/p>\n

As I mentioned in a previous post, these framed Boy Scout badges that Charles earned on his way to becoming an Eagle Scout were the inspiration for Google’s room.\u00a0 (Google will be his nickname here on the blog because that is what his Thai foster mother called him.\u00a0 We will not be revealing the name we chose for him, and we hope you understand.)<\/p>\n

Here was the direction I was planning to go.\u00a0 When it came to actually purchasing items, I did take a different direction in some areas, but I did stay pretty close.<\/p>\n

(Before)<\/p>\n
When mom came to town a few weeks before we left for Thailand, the two of us went to town on his room.\u00a0 For good measure, I thought I would show you how it looked.\u00a0 It was used as our guest room.\u00a0 We basically sold or donated everything in this room,\u00a0 except for the two family quilts.\u00a0 One was made by my grandmother and the other by my great grandmother.\u00a0 I love both of these quilts, and now I am trying to figure out how to incorporate them in my house.\u00a0 Any suggestions?\u00a0 The twin beds were perfect for a guest room, but I wanted floor space for Google to play on the floor.\u00a0 He loves toy cars and trucks, and he needs space for them.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Before my mom came, I repainted to room and used the color Stucco with 50 percent pigment from Sherwin Williams.\u00a0 It is what Mom has in her entire home, and she swears it is the perfect neutral.\u00a0 Doesn’t it look so different?\u00a0 The room is small for a bedroom in today’s standards, but we made it work.\u00a0 With this layout, it doesn’t feel small.\u00a0 The bed is the Hemnes daybed<\/a> from Ikea.\u00a0 We have this bed for Little Miss <\/a>in white, and we are really pleased with it.\u00a0 Since our littles never slept in cribs, we didn’t want to do a crib or deal with a toddler bed.\u00a0 We went straight to this twin sized bed.\u00a0 Adding a handrail really makes it feel safe and cozy.\u00a0 Plus, the best part is the two deep storage drawers underneath, and it pulls out into a king sized bed.\u00a0 When we have had lots of family here before, we were able to pull\u00a0 out Little Miss’s bed and offer a bed for our guests.\u00a0 Now we can do that times two, and the children will be happy in their sleeping bags, which will be a treat.<\/p>\n This room has the most blank wall space of any rooms in our house.\u00a0 I was struggling on what to put on this wall.\u00a0 I found some great prints but didn’t really want a framed picture above the bed at this time in his toddler life.\u00a0 Mom suggested adding tree decals.\u00a0 These vinyl trees<\/a> were the perfect filler for this wall.\u00a0 They were not that hard at all to stick up, and we are thrilled with how it turned out.\u00a0 The rug is an indoor\/outdoor rug that has a smooth nap so that it won’t interfere with his playing.\u00a0 We thought the design looks like arrows.\u00a0 We love a ceiling fan in a bedroom, but the old one was not working.\u00a0 This new one with the wire cage looks campy.<\/p>\n I was struggling to find a yellow pillow.\u00a0 Thanks to Amazon, I was able to get this pillow cover<\/a>.\u00a0 I took my silhouette cameo<\/a> and cut out this design to add.<\/p>\n Jellycat<\/a> is our favorite stuffed animal brand.\u00a0 This little monkey is with us here in Thailand, and it has provided a lot of comfort to our little guy when he was grieving.\u00a0 We have also learned that he likes bright colors, so the primary colors in his new room should get two thumbs up.<\/p>\n The Hudson bay blanket<\/a> was not in my budget for the room, so Mom suggested copying the stripes by painting curtains.\u00a0 We used Ikea curtains and then I painted the stripes.\u00a0 I am so happy with how they turned out.\u00a0 We have the look without the hefty price tag.\u00a0 This will be our reading corner.\u00a0 The chair<\/a> is basic and from Target. <\/a>\u00a0The reading lamp<\/a> is also from Target. When more stuffed animals and toys fill the room, we have this great canvas storage basket.<\/a><\/p>\n On the other side of the room we added a gallery wall.\u00a0 I bought the oar at Home Goods and repainted it with the colors we were using.\u00a0 You can find similar ones here<\/a>.\u00a0 The bear, arrows, and Explore mountain sign were from Hobby Lobby.\u00a0 Hobby Lobby had the most adorable branch looking letters.\u00a0 I took the branch letters that spell his name and attached them to the red board that Little Miss painted for him.\u00a0 The flame icon is covering his name.\u00a0 The small bookshelf was from Home Goods.\u00a0 It is a perfect size for that area, and looks like a tree limb that has been sawed.<\/p>\n This side of the room is very basic.\u00a0 This dresser was in my room as a child.\u00a0 I was hoping to update the handles but didn’t get around to it.\u00a0 I wanted to add rope or arrow pulls but couldn’t find any that were the correct width.\u00a0 If you know where some three inch wide ones are, please let me know.\u00a0 I am also debating about painting this dresser black.\u00a0 It was in our master bedroom, and when we did the Marie Kondo method, it became empty.\u00a0 We bought a sauna and then moved the dresser in this spot. We might not keep it because it is basically empty right now.\u00a0 I did find the cute wood mirror at Home Goods.\u00a0 I had the yellow light from our Syracuse days, and then I added a pop of red with this lantern.<\/a><\/p>\n Rug<\/a><\/p>\n Bed<\/a><\/p>\n Bedspread<\/a><\/p>\n Oar (similar)<\/a><\/p>\n Chair<\/a><\/p>\nDecals<\/h2>\n
