An Remarkable Big Boy Room With Patterned Wallpaper

Psst- We typically only post once on Friday, but Sherry will be back with a random little “bonus post” for ya in a few hours.

We consistently get requests for cool kid rooms, and since we have a girl bean, and shared her recent big-girl-room evolution, we thought it would be lively to share the sweet big boy room that Jesse whipped up for her son. Here is her letter: Hi The house team! My little boy is officially now a “big boy” (hold on while I wipe a tear…).

So I redid his room according to his “wish list” which included: lots and plenty of colors (I mean color galore), a place for all his toys and books (not as plain as it sounds), a place to color/paint/draw, some sort of deer head (seriously…welcome to Missouri). Quite the list, huh?!

And here is how it looks now.

I have never been happier than to cross his room off my to do list. We – me and my husband Sam Sam the “fill in the blank” man (my go to’s filler-inners are typically weather, handy, laundry, fisher, btw, in case you were wondering) have done a lot to this room and are so glad with the end result.

There were some big projects like making the orb light fixture (which only cost us $21), wallpapering, and painting my Craigslist finds for the room, along with a lot of little things like extending the three-inches-too-short curtains with a bedskirt that I found at Goodwill, sewing pillows, and organizing an nearly five year old’s large array of toys and books. We also brought in some plug in sconces to the bookshelves so if Henry hoped to read books in bed, he could. They came from Lowe’s and were less than $30.

More importantly, Henry is loving his room which makes us glad glad. I did the whole reveal post so all the details can be seen there, too, if you want to check it out! – Jesse

There are so many things that Sherry and I like about this room. We both called the wallpaper and the orange bed as our go-tos. Although the deer head (Henry got his wish!) is also up there, especially since it is made by Virginia-based Cardboard Safari. As Jesse said, you can check out her reveal post for more details and photos. Thanks for sharing it with us, Jesse!
