Chrispy's New Room

Tuesday, May 13, 2014

With Chrispy no longer a baby but a toddler and soon will transition into a toddler bed, we thought it was only appropriate to update his room a little. Since we are renting we decided not to paint :( If we had painted I really wanted to do a light grey on the walls, a sky blue on the ceiling, and an accent wall with some crazy geometric pattern…our next place I guess :(

So we used what we had in terms of art for the walls and incorporating bright fun colors, more about having fun than an actual theme. Since I'm not an overly themed person, we chose elements that would bring a since of travel in his room while still keeping it "kid" friendly. 











We have outgrown a changing table phase so now we just keep wipes, diapers, and any ointments in a basket that we can reach for while changing him on the floor. I also put up a small TV on a wall mount so he can not reach it when it comes time for him to sleep without all four sides up on the crib. Everything that is low to the ground that he can reach is either plastic or fabric and he can not break them. We also took into account of his "climbing" habits as we had to the keep the chair and side table at a distance from the dresser and the crib.

For now we are happy with it, clean, simple, and with lots of character. I feel like that is how a kids room should be, just because they are constantly changing and so are their needs.
