Big C and Little S’ Shared Room

With our first child, Chase, I had preterm labor and was on bed rest.  Chase ended up coming three weeks early.  So, I never really got to put his nursery together the way I wanted.  However, any pieces we bought for the nursery I tried to make sure it would work for either a boy or girl as we planned on having a second child.  About two months after Chase turned one, we found out we were expecting.  When we found out it would be a girl, I wanted to make sure this time around I would have everything ready.  This wasn’t too lofty of a goal since they would be sharing a room.  This is actually their second room since we recently moved back to Southern California from San Francisco.  This room is actually a lot smaller than the one they had in San Francisco.  However, it helped me pare down all their things and focus on key pieces for the room.

Design Star Inspired Boys Room

This is my son’s big boy room! After several air plane rooms (in our past 2 homes) I decided to go a little more neutral with the theme. He likes so many things, so I wasn’t planning on a mural but when I saw a similar mural on HGTV’s Design Star I thought it would be perfect. Once I showed him the picture, he was really excited. I added a bit of Star Wars in his sheets and a few paintings I did on canvas above his desk- those were a surprise and he was thrilled with them!
