I have finally added to my boys room decor. I don't know what the hold up is, but it seems their room never gets finished. So let's think back to what the last few projects were, shall we?
Let's see, there was the spray painted side table, and the alphabet art print, and the Ikea bookshelf. Remember the lime, blue, brown and orange?
Anyways, so the boys share their room and since it's not a large room and they still sleep in toddler beds, I kinda have to work around it. I actually bought bedding for their own twin size beds with their own rooms with their own theme already (actually back when they were still in cribs...). But since that's not happening anytime soon, I made some new bedding to go with their current shared bedroom.
As you can see, a few changes have been made. I hung some green curtains (previous color was a chocolate brown, and it really darkened the room.. not in a good way), and added some bookshelves above their beds.
And since they have new bedding, they love to hang out on their 'new' beds.
I used a lime cotton material for the majority of the bedding, but also added strips of striped fabric that I fell in love with. It ties in the orange, green and blue in the room, too.
It's nice to have a better flow in their bedroom with the matching comforters and shams. And I might just have to get busy with some accent pillows.
Here's what I did. I bought really inexpensive crib comforters at Ikea (they were I think 10 or 15 dollars each), then I sewed a cover for them. I used the lime green cotton and some striped fabric.
For the back, I went with a green fleece. My boys are so used to sleeping without a top sheet and just a fleece blanket, I wanted them to feel comfortable.
The enclosure is just simple velcro strips. Keeps it together and works great!
Thanks for stopping by!
