for a little boy


for a little boy

this is teddy's room, a tiny under-the-eaves, cottage-y space. like all kids' rooms should be, it's thrifty (hand me down furniture, osborne & little space linens and shades from his big brother's little boy room, tag sale red rolling cart and thrift store blanket), "green" (see hand me down, above, and the vintage star signage, and handmade things), it's bright and fun to be in (no explanation needed!), and it's reflective of the child's life (teddy's art is on the wall, his books are in his red cart, and he chose the color - orange is his favorite!) . . . let me know what you think :) and thanks!

  1. A perfect room for a little boy!! I have 2 little boys myself (although one is a bit bigger at 13 and a smaller one at 5 :) and I hope to do quite some decorating in the Autumn again. Play with rich colours and paint the walls happy. Your photos have totally inspired me!

  2. i have almost the same - 5 and 14 :), and a seventeen year old boy, and an eleven year old girl . . . in fact, this room for our five year old is based on hand-me-down things from the fourteen year old . . . my darling husband challenged me to do this room buying absolutely nothing new (except the paint!) and i'm proud to say, i succeeded (we're trying to buy as little new as we can, in an effort to save money and save the planet, or at least reduce our impact as much as a family of six can . . . i'm glad you like room, though! it's very lively and fun, just like our little guy ~ post photos when you decorate the rooms! i would love to see! lynn-anne x
