I didn’t want his room to be a room that screamed BABY since when we do have guests, they’ll be sharing his space. We painted it green well before we knew the sex and agreed to work with it either way. When we found out we were having a boy, I wanted to add in a few owl elements but keeping mostly in the theme of the rest of our house using bold colors and patterns. 

BIGGEST CHALLENGE: Space was a big issue for us. When we bought our house, we weren’t planning on having kids so soon, and we don’t get many guests due to where we live so we intentionally kept this room small. Having to share the space with a queen-sized bed and crib and dresser while still making it functional was definitely a challenge. We rearranged it several times before settling on this final layout.
