When I was pregnant with Campbell I made this bumper for the crib (ha,ha, more like my mom made it and I kept her company while she worked on it). Anyway since we are having another boy I guess we will be using it again so I decided to redecorate the "boys room" to match this bumper.
This is what the room looked like before except the ceiling was also blue and the walls didn't have white spots, that is from the spackle (yes, those are all nail holes in the wall. Someone couldn't decide where to hang the pictures or something!)
I just finished the room yesterday. I did all the painting and Trev helped me make the shelves with 1x6 plywood and crown moulding. I was really worried once I got all the paint done that I might have picked the wrong colors but in the end I like how it turned out.
If you know me then you know I am cheap and love to stretch a dime (which is a good thing on a resident's salary) and this project is no different. I just used things from our house to decorate the shelves. I had a bunch of scraps left from when I made the bumper that were just sitting in a box so I decided to just roll them up and stick them in this bucket which I got from our downstairs bathroom. The dog is from Trev's mission and the sign a friend gave me... told you I am cheap.

I LOVE IT!! It is darling. I wish I could be there to see it in person.
I am so impressed (as always)! Your projects always blow me away. I should get your inspiration on a few projects on my list. I love the colors and the shelf :)
It looks great!! I love the colors you chose! What is the name of the green color?
Hi- this is Melissa's Friend from her work, a couple of us at the dental office want to know what color/brand of green and chocolate brown you used. We LOVE LOVE LOVE it!
Wow, thanks for the kind comments people!
Okay, I used Behr brand paint in a semi-gloss. The green is called "Corn Husk Green" and the brown is "Burley Wood".
Next time you come visit will you do our rooms? Absolutely amazing!
HO-LEEE C-O-W!!!!! It is so cute! You are ridiculously amazing...you know that don't you??? That is the cutest thing I have ever seen! My secret wish is just to get to have your creative genius for just one day...think of the possibilities!
I Loooove the colors and the shelves I need to be more creative. It looks great!!!
Too cute. I love brown and green together. Painting is the biggest pain, but it so worth the effort once it's completed.
