"...what little boy doesn't love airplanes?"

I can truly call Branflake's room complete! I'm so excited! I'm also very pleased with how everything came together. Although there was very little planning behind it, the colors worked out perfectly.


A BEFORE photo taken from the real estate listing. Notice the lovely 
Razorbacks logo consuming the entire wall. That was fun to paint over.

And now, the reveal...

You can see my most recent Pinterest Project outside of his bedroom door.

We love his ceiling fan, which was a gift from some friends. It's a P-40 Tiger 
Shark. His little area rug is so fun and I foresee him playing with toy cars on it in the future.


I found these wonderful, free vintage alphabet printables and couldn't resist 
adding them to the wall.


The colors in the war bird curtains coordinate so well with the wall and 
valance and tie the ceiling fan into the room - what little boy doesn't love airplanes? 


  The valance is a wood box the previous owner attached above the window. 
We used it as a shelf to display special things such as my old stuffed bunny, 
PB's blankie, and a jar of marbles my dad played with as a boy.


The dresser was mine when I was a little girl. It used to be white and girly, 
but I painted it with chalkboard paint and changed the pulls. 
Now, it's perfect for my little boy.


 PB built the bookshelves for Branflake's little library and I painted them to 
match the valance. The box holds his toys; I put my favorites on display.

 The moment I discovered "Wookiee the Chew" I couldn't resist using it as an 
opportunity to pay homage to our Star Wars love. Yes, R2-D2 is a fish tank.

The changing table is tucked inside Branflake's huge closet. I like it in 
there for stacking and hiding things and will probably insist that PB 
install shelves once the changing table is outgrown.



Branflake loves crawling around in his new room and exploring everything.  He has so much fun.

Paint:

Wall color is Olympic Honey Beige D15-2
Valance and bookshelf color is Olympic Abracadabra D51-2
