Grayson's Room Re-do & Big Boy Bed

So, we painted Grayson's room two weekends ago, and we're still trying to get it all together! I wish I had a few hours to work on it, interrupted, but you know how that goes when you have a little one!

These pictures look quite boring, but I've been hanging stuff up. There's the cutest white shelf that Stephanie gave us before Grayson was born (thanks Stephanie!) that I still need to hang up. She made it as a first project when she got her nail gun! :) I can't decide where to put it, and I don't want to make any more holes in the wall than necessary!

We painted with the textured Ralph Lauren River Rock paint in a kind of paper bag color. Then, we left all the trim and the doors cream-colored. I really like how it turned out! Now, for the rest of the house. I love the fresh paint smell. I wish Scentsy made a fresh paint scent!

Grayson's new IKEA loft bed!

Oh, Bob!

The "nook" under the new bed! There are some lights under it.

I love this rocking chair from the Cracker Barrel, but I think we are going to store it and put a small loveseat that we already have in the "nook". It's gold crushed velvet, and it rocks -- so '70s! Yes, I will find a slipcover. :)

This is the IKEA "Leksvik" armoire that my mom bought for Grayson's room! Thanks Mom!
We bought it last weekend, and all I can say is "Leksvik" must translate into "freaking heavy". We haven't put it together yet, because Greg said we need a handtruck to get it out of my mom's SUV. You should have seen us getting it off the shelf onto the cart, and then out of the store and into the Blazer. Hopefully Greg will put it together this weekend!

So, that's it so far for the room! I will post some more pictures when it's totally together. Um, give me 6 months or so...

I can't believe you still have that shelf - that's funny. I love the room. It looks so adorable! I especially love the nook! The curtain across it is so cute and will be so much fun for him to use as a secret hide-out. Too cute!!

Love the new room! Very cute! He will enjoy that nook, especially with the '70's couch you intend to add. LOL! TJ is doing wonderful in his new big boy bed, much better than Hunter every did! Glad things are going well!

So cute, Laura! Is Grayson just loving his new space??? Send a pic when you get the loveseat in its place. It's helpful to have a MIL who doesn't throw anything away :)
