Bedroom Makeover: A Little Boy's Room Grows Up

Filed under: Bedroom, Your Home

Here's how one mom gave her boy a grown-up bedroom makeover. And it only costs $300!

Check out this great story from our friends at CasaSugar!



My son turned nine this Summer and instantly declared his room "too baby!" So while he visited his grandparents out of town, I surprised him with a room makeover. We packed up all the sentimental baby stuff, then painted every square inch of his room and most of his furniture. The best part (besides his reaction), was that the entire makeover cost under $300!


Check out the "before": The patchwork bedding with puppy dogs had to go. So did the sweet green walls and preschool craft projects.


And now...the "after": Paint made the most drastic changes in the room. Not only did the walls get a new color and bold stripes, but we sprayed the bed white.




We also made most of the art for the gallery wall using our prints from trips to the animal park. The magnetic strips are actually Ikea knife holders . . . they are a great spot to clip awards and postcards. Check out more before and after posts, along with how-tos on all the projects on my blog Hi Sugarplum!
