Without Further Ado...The Lil' man's Bedroom!

Man alive am I glad to be posting this...it means I am finished (for now anyway).  I have been a little side-tracked with wedding showers and family reunions, but here it is....The mini man cave!

First of all I have to let you in on the drama that got me to this point.  After I found the striped pillows, I was thinking nautical...so after purchasing and then returning 2 quilts, 2 comforters, 1 set of window treatments, 2 sheet sets, some nik-naks from Hobby Lobby and losing my wallet (which someone turned in YAY!), I finally found some sheets (above) and a comforter.  Wow that was exhausting to write and even more so to actually do!!!

After all that I didn't even use the pillows on the bed. Pitiful, I know.  But, I like them better here!

Before, I get ahead of myself,  I wanted to show you the before.  It did have a crib, which I sold recently and other nursery stuff...you get the picture.

and here is the bed that is technically mine, but has been at my mother's for a long time, like 12 years ;).  I thought it would fit nicely in E's bedroom, but as you can see, not so much. So, plan B or more like D or E kicked in and we pulled the old switcheroo with my daughter's bed because her bedroom is a little bit bigger (more on that later).  OK! Moving on...

And AFTER....

 I changed the "chalkboard wall" to this color blue, which wasn't smart on part because I didn't even have the bedding yet, but all worked out anyway.

I already had the stars, just painted them.  And as you can see, although I have been to Home Depot many times this week, I STILL have forgotten to get the plug cover that has been on the list...don't worry not a live wire!!

This little guy is here for sentimental reasons (sniff, sniff)

Found these little tags at HL for .99 cents ;) (i added the paint)

Also Hobby Lobby finds... I want some more of the wooden boat things (waiting for 50% off)

I was letting my husband know that I was trying to think of a way to cut out some oars for the wall, when he informed me that they had some "real" ones at Wal-Mart for 10$...shows you how much I hang out in the sporting goods section.  So, he picked these up for me...Thanks a million BABE!

And of course I had to sneak this little guy in, shhhhhh, our secret ;)  I LOVE SOCK MONKEYS!!

NEEDLESS TO SAY, there are a few finishing touches that need to be added.... on my wish list, is hardwood floors and a big navy and white striped rug, but for now its finished!!! Oh ya and a 4x6 picture of the little guy, hehe! OK I will leave you with one more picture!

And with this, I am off to get ready. Little E has a performance at church...should be interesting ;)
