Show Us Where You Live Friday -Children's room edition

******UPDATED*******


Yay! Time for Show Us Where You Live Friday - Children's Room/Nursery Edition! No nursery here anymore, so here we have our boys room.


Come on in....if you dare! I think we have found the wizards castle..:) I don't have any "before" pics of this room. Just think flowered wall paper and bright blue wall to wall shag carpet!!! Seriously.

So, it really isn't that scary (well, sometimes it is VERY scary, but not today!) Here is the boys room. They decided they wanted to share a room about 3 years ago, and we haven't looked back since! Certainly makes it easier to travel etc.... This is the view when you walk in the door. (After getting past the wizard sign and all) I got this knock off PB rug at Overstock and it was quite a deal! The desk you see is a work in progress. I found it for $5 at a rummage sale and am slowly getting it painted....it works out great though. The boys share the middle drawer and then each have 3 drawers of their own. See yesterday's post for the new chair I painted for the desk! The beanbags get jumped on quite a bit....

ok, I couldn't take it anymore! I had to add this picture of the new chair. Big improvement! I am waiting for the navy gingham seat cushion to arrive.....

Whoops! Just noticed there is a picture missing from the boat frames....wonder where it got too??? I got white lampshades at Tarjay and decorated away! J's is wrapped with bias tape then ricrac and then I painted the J using acrylic paint.
This lamp base was my father's when he was a boy. I love that it is in the boys room, and fits with the decor too! ;) Again, just got the shade at Tarjay and painted his monogram on it! It could use a little more embelishment...
This is obviously Jackson side.... I painted the letters for them. They have to have some thing painted by their momma!!

and this is Chase's! (J likes blue and C likes red, so this color scheme works great!

I made these curtains when we lived in our old house and couldn't bear to leave them. That's why they don't really fit the windows, but I like them, and more importantly the occupants of the room really like them! The valances were fun, although I did get into a few fights with my sewing machine!

View from other corner of the room. I would still like to add crown moulding in this room (as well as all the upstairs rooms....someday....Chase just recently decided to sleep with his head at the opposite end than he used too...hence the sailboats going different directions! :) He's quite a character, that one!Jackson's footstool. He came up with the design, and I did the painting. What a good team! ;)
Thanks for touring! (I only wish it would stay this clean...)
I can't believe I originally posted this without a picture of these pillows (J has one monogrammed in navy) I ordered them from here. (She does fantastic work!!) :)
