Tanner’s Funky Big Kid Room

Since moving into our new home a year ago, I pondered what to do for my little man’s room.  I wanted something fun and unique just like him, but a place where he could go to relax and unwind as well.  I’ve had the bedding, rug and curtains for a year and just now got to finishing the room.  I painted big, bold navy and white stripes on one wall, then painted a light grayish blue on the other 3 walls to calm them down.  Since I was on a budget I opted to paint an old dresser and nightstand we already had, added a large map poster which we made a frame for and mounted an old snowbaord above the closet for some funky decor.  The framed photos of the kids mellows out the stripes and although this room is still not “done”, I’m proud to say it got 2 thumbs up from the person it matters from the most.The only thing not pictured here is a newly added table and chair that was mine when I was a kid where Tanner can sit and draw for hours.
