Let’s rewind back to Max’s first ever room in our old house. I had so much fun decorating it and getting it ready. When we moved to our new home, I decorated it very much the same:
Shortly after we moved, I started planning what I wanted Max’s big boy room to be. I am not a “theme” person but I wanted to incorporate some of his favorite things like star wars and also make it a room that he could grow up with and just have to modify furniture and bedding.
Because I am a glutton for punishment, I used a quilting hexagon pattern and painstakingly traced out hexagons in two sizes, taping off each one with painters tape before tracing the next.
this.took.a.long.time.
In the end, it was worth all the time and effort…
*When I was pregnant with Max I saw this image and HAD.TO.HAVE.IT.
Once I was thinking clearly, I realized if I spent that much on a bookshelf-my husband would divorce me- no matter how PERFECT it was for the nursery!
Before Max was born my very talented father in law surprised me with this handmade bookshelf and he even carved Max’s name on the bottom-it was truly perfect and holds much sentiment.
It’s all in the details…
When I needed a bedside table for Max’s new room, I sketched out what was in my head and gave it to my hubby and… voila! he created it!
Another small detail that I have to give all credit to my hubby for are the Darth Vader knobs to the bi-fold closet doors (I’m not the only one who enjoys a trip to Hobby Lobby…ehem)
Max loves his big boy room and I loved creating it for him, even though it meant letting him get older, but I guess that was inevitable!
