BigBoy's Room: the furniture is in.

This weekend we moved BigBoy's newly-painted bookshelf and chest of drawers back into his room. I was thrilled with how they came out.

I love the clean look of the white bookshelf with his colorful books.

We repainted this yardsale chest of drawers and replaced the wooden knobs with new brushed nickel ones.


We think the knobs add a bit of whimsy to an otherwise blah piece of furniture.

Plus, the ball-shaped knobs are easy for little hands to grasp.

I purchased an inexpensive reversible red/khaki comforter from Target and a matching sham. I didn't even iron them before putting them on the bed because I couldn't wait to see what it looked like.

So to review, here's the before:

And the current after:

I still have curtain panels to purchase (those are the rods leaning in the corner) and dino posters to hang.


And because Gramps says every blaaaahhg post is incomplete without a picture of the children, here ya go.
