BOYS
Those of you with sons and brothers…even husbands and boyfriends…
know…boys are pretty easy to please…DECOR wise.
Give them a good comforter, some stuff to throw around
or at each other…things to roll and build….
…some sports or superhero posters and they are all set.
Last week, I FINALLY got around to giving the boys room a
LONG OVERDUE
Update/makeover.This photo brings back wonderful memories.
Here is the original little boy room… loved it. ..
but they are growing up…

…last year…I did a makeover, changed the color and rugs and lighting,
and Tate decided to try the sleeping porch as his room… |
But, Tate and Cooper share a room now…and it was past time to make it THEIR ROOM…
and then add to the MIX a VERY important photo shoot of the house…
took place last week…
(mums the word)
So I pulled ALL of this off in 5 DAYS!

but go ahead…
just don’t moved my SAFE or my signed Hockey Pucks.”

Fair enough.

Tate reluctantly had moved BACK in with Cooper a year ago
after trying the old sleeping porch out as a room of his own.

It was not ideal and so for the past year, I have worried
that he felt like a guest of Cooper’s. Now the room is THEIRS.

And they said they are okay with sharing…for now.
I JUST cleaned out and did a mini- MAKEOVER

now is an additional room to lay around,
giving them the opportunity to get away from each other, if not always, when needed.

What a fabulous room. I should really do something for my son, too, though he really doesn’t want me to touch his stuff! (He’s 14)
Looks great!! Where did you get the fabric for their new curtains? I love it!
THANKS MEGAN, THIS IS WHERE THE FABRIC IS FROM…..

I love the flag project. This is stupid question, but what is a dry mounted poster?
A dry mounted poster is a poster which has been adhered to a piece of foam core board or another surface. It makes the poster paper less fragile and more substantial to hang….
Ok, thanks. I’m thinking about having my son do this flag for his room.
