Boy Room Tour: Dungeons & Dragons!

I thought I would take you on a little tour of my 2 year-old son's room today. Yay!! Here we go..

On the walls - 2 small, 1 large canvas painted blue with little graphics copied from a blankie pattern. On the dresser- dino/dragon from Grandma Y, a Thirty-One bag in the elephant pattern fabric and his name embroidered on the front. Window - Bunting from cardstock and hung with black yarn, navy curtains from Walmart, tied back with silver  ribbons. On the bed - Fleece dragon blanket & favorite baby blankie.

For his first Birthday, we had a medieval theme, based off the meaning of his first name - "Little King". My mom bought him the cutest blanket with the lion, castle and crown pattern on it and I decided to base his room off of the same thing. I thought it was pretty unique for a boys room. Kind of princess theme in reverse. Hah! :)

A close-up look at the dino. Protecting Ryan's treasure chest bank.

 

 

Close-up look of the bunting on the other window in the room.

Black shelf with green & blue plastic baskets ($1ea from Dollar Tree) for toy storage, and a big blue tub for misc/larger toys behind that little Sophie Loaf in the bottom right corner. :) The sign is from Grandma S and says, "Twinkle, twinkle little star, do you know how loved you are?"

This is from the other angle in his room. Kinda the first thing on the left wall you see when you come in. I don't know why I didn't get a very good picture of that area.  Here's some detail from the top shelves.

Primitives by Kathy sign, 3 little crochet knights with dowel rod insides. :)

The teensy thing on the left is a glass dragon from a craft show, sitting on top of a castle project from Lowe's. Knight from Grandma S! 

 

Crochet Totoro sitting on top of extra blankets. There's the one from Grandma Y!

Cute little engine spelling his name. Yes, I know the N is backward. This was handmade from a man at Grandma S's church, and the magnets were glued on the wrong sides. I haven't attempted a fix yet. Ryan broke the wheel on the A... This is why we can't have nice things... :P

Cardboard Castle, custom toddler bed, letters from Hob Lob painted by me...aaand leftover Curious George paper chain I couldn't throw away yet. Look for me on the next season of Hoarders.

The castle is made from 2 refrigerator boxes and a stove box! I picked up a gallon of this grey returned/wrong mixed paint from Lowes for $5 and free-handed the detailing with black paint. Here's the site where I found the castle inspiration - mrmcgroovys.com.

Totally impossible to find boy's toddler bedding in this theme, and so I found this fleece fabric at Hancock Fabrics and tied it up with a navy piece to create his blanket. That's his favorite "lovey" - Buttons, the stuffed TY dachshund. My friend Emily gave that to me for my...10th Birthday, I believe? Ryan just fell in love with him.

Big brother's room is so coooool! ;)

Grandpa & Grandma S made this bed for us. They painted it blue and mod podged this little scene onto the headboard. Totally cute! :)

Storing some big trucks under the bed! Toys under the bed on purpose, can you believe that?!

Table from Uncle Aaron & Anna for Christmas 2011. The top is dry erase. We sit here aaaaall the time to color!  Here's a little video of him doing just that!

Here's some randoms. Bin of JUST transportation toys (Cars, airplanes, trains). Think he has enough? No, me either. ;) close-up of his name, and this little painted (I am having a major brain fart right now) coat hanger...thing....whatever!

And the little squirt himself. Workin' away in his tool box. We bought him this for his 2nd Birthday and it is peeerfect!! He was always wanting to play with the real tools...especially the hammer (dangerous!) and now all I have to say when he sees the real ones and wants them is, "These are daddy's tools, where are Ryan's tools?" And he'll run off happily to get his own! Tantrum averted.

Hope you enjoyed that. Maybe gave you a little inspiration. :)

The main project I'm still working on for this room still is getting those slim IKEA shelves to put his books on (They're all a mess on the living room shelf right now). And it doesn't match the theme, but I want one of those car track rugs because those are awesome and I enjoyed playing with something similar when I was a kid. Otherwise, I'm pretty content with his room right now. It's cute!

Check back soon. I'm going to do a tour of Sophie's nursery and probably a few more Pinterest Success blogs!
