I love the colors you picked! I’m especially fond of grey and blue. It’s so hard to design for a toddler- especially a boy because they really only like one thing…and that one thing has to have wheels! Whether it’s cars, trucks, trains, planes, or all of the above, they end up everywhere. You’ve done a great job keeping it organized and streamlined so to speak! I’d love to know where you got your bed- I’d love to have one just like it for my toddler :)

Oh, thank you so much! It is such a challenge to design for a little boy, I totally agree! I tried so hard to keep it from being themey but as you said, anything with wheels has to be incorporated somewhere…it’s all our child owns! :) As far as the trundle daybed goes, I have no idea where we ordered it. We bought it online 4 years ago but I don’t remember the site…it was random. I feel like I remember the company being in CT though. Sorry I’m not of more help! All the best!

I’m touched that you’ve made an effort to frame pictures of your family and put it up on the wall. That is a great way to personalize a boy’s room…

You just can’t go wrong with primary colors. I think that if it were women’s fashion, primary colors would be the equivalent of the little black dress!

Great work here. I think that the cars, trucks and airplanes that “snuck” their way into the room made it more beautiful. They really complement the colors and the decors you chose here. I love those felt letters too, and it adds a sense of the whimsical to the room.

@Janes – I’m so sorry I’m getting back to you so late. I didn’t notice you had responded. Regarding the paint, I have no idea. It was a Benjamin Moore color but we just recently had to give our paint can to the superintendent of our building so they could buy some more to make touch ups to this room. If I can find the name, I’ll get back to you!

I’m so sorry Shari and Katie that I didn’t respond to you guys. I just ran upon my posting and saw that you had both left a comment. So I’m probably too late to be any good to you but for what it’s worth :) I’ll answer anyway! Shari, hi UWS neighbor! The Land of Nod rug was in their denim color. It’s literally denim pieces but hides everything! We’ve been very happy with it. Katie, the shelves are a little bit of this and that. We got creative since we were on a budget. The set of 9 cubed shelves came from Target and the tall ones beside it are 2 different shelves that stacked on top of each other. We took the top square shelf of one and the bottom square shelf of the other off and connected the two together. I don’t know if that makes any sense but hopefully you know what I mean. :) Thank you for your nice words!

Room looks great! How did you make the ceiling bunting? Is it felt or fabric?. I love how the bunting ties everything together.
