ORC Week 6 - Comfy & Stylish Boys Bedroom REVEAL

Hooray! We've made it! The final week for the ONE ROOM CHALLENGE and I would again give a huge shout-out and "THANKS" to our fab host, Linda from CALLING IT HOME! Thank you again for hosting such a great blogosphere event! I mean, did you see the reveals of the featured designers yesterday???! Absolutely amazing! We have some pretty serious talent in the blogging world FOR SURE!

Anyway, like I mentioned on my post last Monday HERE, I hit a huge snag on the wallpaper. Basically, I didn't have enough, and I destroyed some parts of it, while trying to remove the painters tape! I will explain more on later posts but I had to come up with a solution for this huge mishap - fast. And I think, if I didn't mention it here, you wouldn't notice it at all. So for now, here is my son's room, done.... for now... ;-)

Ta-Da!

BEFORE

The Zimba wallpaper was a huge impact in the space for sure

Important mementos that my son treasures

I really love this lighting - was a pain to install though -
I made a mistake and didn't realize the lighting was supposed to be hard-wired ...

... we converted it to plug-in, thanks to other bloggers posts and my genius husband,  worth the effort though

I had to explain to him what this quote meant - He got it. ;-)

Simple letter "A" interrupts the huge wall. Chalkboard paint below the bed rail and the for the "ME BOARD".

Same space BEFORE

Can you see the "STAR WARS" all over the pillowcases? My MIL helped sew those

My son's favorite part of the space (other than his desk & chair), the "ME Board"

Had to have acceptable organization for these lightsabers ;-)

I love how our simple Malm dresser got a huge update using hardware and contact paper!

BEFORE

I had to hang the mirror lower for my son to see his face more adequately at this point

Opposite side of the room

Yup, Star Wars Matters in this space!

BEFORE, 6 years ago

I think the floating desk is perfect for our young man & his Space Age toys!

BEWARE OF STORM TROOPER guarding his room!;-)

My son is an avid collector just like his mom, who collects all sorts of things.

Too excited to use his desk - he set up reminders of these things. Multiplication table is framed nicely on the side.

A place for everything, earphones, Death Star and all....

Books and toys that he loves must be displayed

BEFORE

My solution for our other Interior window - turn it into a book case!
Do you see the words on the shelves????

Some fave toys displayed - Done.

PLAY with caution!

Hide everything unsightly!

Reading chair which is both mine and his, favorite chair.
Faced it towards the bed for perfect conversation too!

And here is the proud owner of this space!

My darling dear husband has been the most patient and wonderful handy man again for this project. I had so many troubles in this room you wouldn't believe it. I will share about it though next time. Let's just say I'm lucky to have a husband who can "McGyver" his way out of any situation! Thank you hon!

The room I'm happy to say, is a HUGE HIT, to the most important person that matters - my son.

He absolutely loves his new space and has been so proud of it ever since we started 5 weeks ago,  that, whenever friends would drop by, he would gladly give a 'tour' of his unfinished room (we only finished yesterday night)!

He has been thanking me and his dad constantly saying he loves his new room so much! And that for me, is the ultimate acknowledgement for all the hard work we have put into this space.

Now, are you ready to see some more fabulous spaces? I am, check out the other reveals below!
