Miles' Room Re -do

I know it has been such a long time since I have posted. I got back from the beach and had lots of things I wanted to do and no time to blog. I also started reading everyone else's blogs and felt overwhelmed! I have started lots of home improvement projects but have not finished most of them! This one still needs some finishing touches but since that will be an ongoing process I thought I would share it now. I wish I had a before picture of this room but I didn't think of that until it was too late (new blogger!). But suffice it to say that the room was a very spec house beige. I wanted to brighten it up and make it fun but this wasn't really what I had in mind. Now let me warn you that the After picture is not for the faint of heart. I let my 3 year old pick his room color - so he picked Orange! Not decorator orange but bright, 3 year old orange! He calls it "Boo Bear Orange," Sherwin Williams calls it "Mandarin." What do you think?! The furniture and bedding is from IKEA. The window treatments are from there too. But they were cheap and cheaply made. So, my dear and talented friend, http://www.vintageswampgirl.blogspot.com/, shortened them from long panels and lined them. Aren't they cute now? Perfect for a little boy! I love the animals on the bedding and think they would be cute painted on canvas and framed - a project for another day... This room doesn't match anything else in the rest of my house. Luckily it is upstairs and I can close the door when company comes! While I realize that I will have to re-paint it if we ever decide to sell, I sure did make my 3 year old happy and that is what is is all about, right?
