Can't believe we're almost halfway into the ORC series! Hew!
One thing for sure, being in this series has motivated me to forge on (because otherwise this room would still be in the same state as it was last week for the next month or so!)!;-)
Anyway, this week, we added the lighting on the dormer space....
It's from Menards, very affordable but I think pretty enough for a boys space. Love that the brown ties in with the furniture in the big room. I placed the wall sconces a little bit higher because I want a higher bench to overlook the window. It's nice to read while you see the outside right?
I also did one of my fave DIY's on the book shelves!

| Got Wrapper From TJ Maxx |
Yup I've done so many things with just plain gift wrapper, including for my KITCHEN too!
So I thought, why not here as well!
The Bookshelves are both from the 'RE line' from TARGET which has been there already in his room before, just needed to spruce it up more with this.
Also wanted to show you what a big impact the Navy in this room has been.

We are really very happy with the color!
Cool, peaceful and according to my son, 'Musculine'!!!
That's it for now. We're working on the built-in bench and on trying to organize the walls, hopefully, I can be done and show it next week!!!

Have a Great day!

Loving the navy wall color! Very bold & dramatic (and musculine)!
ReplyDeleteThe new color is dramatic and masculine and I love the contrast with the door and the trim, and yes, gift wrapping paper is extremely versatile!

Navy walls...they look GREAT! Such a great look using the paper in the bookcase too!

I love a window seat. I agree about the navy blue being more masculine and what boy doesn't want that. Using wrapping paper - how cool is that. Looks like things are moving right along.

Love what a little wrapping paper can do, and that navy color looks great with the floor!
ReplyDeleteIt's looking great! I love the navy blue walls and the chevron paper on the bookcase. I could really use one of those dormer nooks for myself...

ReplyDeleteLove it! the navy blue and those lights, it looks great!
ReplyDeleteI really like the navy! I love Menards lighting too; I'm pretty sure the one here has about twice as many pieces as Home Depot.
ReplyDeleteIt's looking soooo good! I adore the navy!
ReplyDeleteThe room is really starting to come together. Love the bookshelves - the chevron is going to look great with that navy stripe!
