Boho. I love the feel of a Boho room. The simplicity of this style mixed with an “anything goes” kind of vibe is freeing when it comes to decorating and just plain living in said spaces. It’s awesome, actually. Even more so when it’s for a one of the sweetest (and smartest) little guy’s I know. “H” is preparing to become a big brother (verrrrry soon) which means he needs a space to call his own—a room just for him with a style that’s crazy cool.
“H’s” mom is also extremely cool herself and when we discussed the makeover of this space, she gave me creative freedom to design the entire thing. I love that.
Mrs. “M” found this amazing coverlet at Target and it quickly became the inspiration for this space.
Here is where we started:
Now, the entire home was painted in a beautiful shade of grey, but Mrs. “M” had grown tired of it and wanted something new…something fresh and so clean clean. Oh, and an accent wall. She definitely wanted “H” to have an interactive accent wall.
Can you guess what we did?
If you said “chalkboard wall,” you’re right!
Two quarts and three coats of this stuff and the walls were ready for our budding artist. Chalkboard paint can literally come in any color (ask your local paint store for options), but I’m digging the striking contrast this wall boasts (imagine that? ). Can you see where this room is headed? Just that one wall make such a difference already. Can’t wait for the rest.
Thes remaining walls were lightened and brightened using Valspar’s Dogwood Petals. C-O-N-T-R-A-S-T! Love it…and apparently “H” and his friends do too. Look at him go!
Ok, ready for the “after” shots? I really love how this room turned out.
And look! You can see the bathroom from this view and all those little Swiss Crosses. #swoon.
When it came to the opposite wall, a gallery of sayings, and beautiful BOHO art was in order. This shelf was such a great find, as were a number of the pieces found at Hobby Lobby, Target, and Etsy.
And look! You can see the playroom from this view, complete with more of those adorable Swiss Crosses. #doubleswoon.
Here’s an up close (and not-too-personal) shot of those items.
Needless to say this is definitely a room with a view…of the bathroom. Here’s another shot of these coordinating spaces. Oh, and ignore the bathroom vanity doors which are open and currently drying. That bathroom is coming to the blog soon once I put the finishing touches on it.
One final view of this madeover space. I so dig it.
