Adam's New Room

Adam is graduating to his new big boy room soon. Although we haven't mustered the courage to transition him, we've done a lot of playing in there, reading, and talking about "his" room. In the next week or two we will probably start having him sleep in there, but we know this is a big change for him and it probably take more than a month for him to fully transition (which will mean a lot of sleepless nights). Knowing this, I have been hesitant.

However, it is a pretty cool "big boy" room.

This is the room before we even moved in... the previous owners used it as an office.

After we moved in, we painted it a yellow color that did not turn out as we had hoped and we turned it into a guest room that was never fully decorated... It mostly accumulated things for which we had no other place. I was glad to paint over that bland yellow.

Work in Progress

Beginning the redecorating...

The Finished Product

We chose a paint color called Buzz Blaster blue, which while drying gave the unsettling impression of a smurf explosion.

 

We chose star decals to go on the walls... Shannon wanted footballs, but I just couldn't do it.

In lieu of footballs, we compromised with a sports quote on the wall.

Complete with a full size bed (double railings), the sheets have dinosaurs on them.

 And we hung a mirror so he can practice his funny faces in it.
