Progress

These past few days at our house have been a little crazy, poor Christian is cutting more teeth and it really has really taken it out around us. Poor guy, not eating too much and not getting enough sleep on our ends is making my days seem like a year! :(

In the morning, after eating a bit that some how manages to get everywhere!…he looks so happy and sweet…but by night, he is this crazy kid, screaming and crying about everything….might have to sell him…just a thought ;)

I've decide it is time to update Mr. Chrispy's bedroom as he is becoming a big boy. I couldn't decide between a nature/animal or planes/travel theme. I am just not really a theme person, I think some can really overdue it and I prefer more of little piece that add a theme but not overwhelming the room.  I think I'm just going with planes/travel because we already have so many pieces that can be used in his room throughout our house.

With him always at home, it will be awhile before I finish the room :( But I did start with a piece of wood art of the wall. I just used an old sign I had on hand and up cycled it. I love touches of vintage, even if they aren't really vintage, so I distressed the wood art in the end just enough to have white paint show through and put a layer of furniture paste on it so it wouldn't have a shine but more of worn look.



What do you think? Just a start but got to start somewhere. Next is to go to Ikea and pick up some supplies. I can't decide between stacked shelves or the Expedit book shelve.

I also want to add some amazing art and brass pieces into the room.  I have a lot of inspirational pieces I've been finding online like these below.

Shouldn't be too hard, once I find time and make a bunch of little pieces that really just add that extra touch! I'm also trying to get out of painting the room since it is military housing and painting it back when we leave is always so annoying. I desperately wanted to paint the ceiling blue too, not to make it part of the theme but because of an old southern myth that painting your porch ceiling blue keeps evil spirits from haunting your home. Yes, I know my sons room isn't the porch ceiling, but it is a ceiling and I'm way southern so all those cute little myths and charming folk tales I love. Keeps it interesting :)

Have a great day y'all!!! :)
