How to decorate a boy's room...
I'm searching for inspiration... again! This time I'm going for a non-cartoon character look and although I have a fair idea of what I want to do, I have a zero budget so will be using what I have on hand. Can I do it?

I like that red, white and blue looks fresh but is it too patriotic?

This look would be easy to achieve but it would mean a massive cull of Elijah's toys

Perhaps a cluster of his baby photos

Along with a display of artwork
I'm open to ideas so if you have any thrifty ideas let me know (please pretty please)
Hi Kelly, I dont have any thrifty ideas but just wanted to say - I love red, white and blue for a boys room!! My son has had that as his theme for about 4 years. We just invested a little into some good quality comforters and the rest has been handmade or gifts. One day I'll also make a quilt :) Oh, one idea - cover canvases in fabric for a noticeboard or decoration....cant wait to see what you come up with, the rest of your place you've shown is amazing!
ReplyDeletei got a box of black picture frames from freedom on sale, i have since seen some really nice ones at the wharehouse (peoples revolution brand), it contains heaps of different sizes but they all match.i too have way to many toys in my kids rooms. i dont buy heaps but they seem to get given heaps from mates and family...maybe finding some cool storage solutions will sort that. eeek the rooms in my house are so small i wouldnt know where to start...
ReplyDeleteoh forgot to say check out spearmintbaby.blogspot.com for some big boy rooms.
ReplyDeleteLeonie - thanks for that. I think E would love a pin board full of photos and artwork - great idea
ReplyDeleteLee - I might go to the Warehouse later in the week. I swear plastic toys breed! Oh and thanks for that blog suggestion - love the ideas in there :D
