Drake's new room was such a fun makeover and I love how it turned out. I already posted on painting the wall so next on our list was a bed so I could map out everything else due to the size of the room. My plan was to build a bed but I was too impatient so good 'ol Ikea came in handy and we came home with this one instead!
Drake loves helping any chance he can get!
The big reveal!!
I found the bedding online (what a pain to find the exact matching blue that is on the wall), the lamp is from Ikea, the side table I found on clearance at Burlington and gave it a new coat of paint...
Then on this wall I found the cutest idea online to make old books into shelves. So I went to Goodwill and picked up a few in the colors that matched and Jordan did a great job putting them up, right below them I found a place that does chalkboard vinyl, and next to that are actually Ikea spice racks that I painted and put together for little book shelves.
Alphabet from Hobby Lobby and I painted the "D" for Drake.
Other than that, the rest of the decor we just moved from his old room!
Drake loves his new room and it's so fun being able to lay in bed with him. When we got back in town last week, Jordan insisted that he slept in there. I on the other hand was a little more hesitant because I didn't want to have the struggle with bedtime YET! But Drake did great the first 3 nights, then he came out a couple of times the next couple of nights and now he is waking up at 7:15am (today at 6:30am!!), when he usually sleeps until 8 or 8:30, and he is fighting us now to go to bed, soooo we are dealing I guess you could say! But he is excited that he sleeps in his big boy bed and now says that the crib is for Lydia. Too cute. Now it's on to the nursery!

LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!! You are so creative and did such a great job! And I LOVE the name Lydia! I've always wanted to name a girl that since reading The Work and the Glory! She just sounds pretty! You're getting close, right!?!?
p.s. put a lock on the outside of his door and he'll stay put! We did that long ago and we don't even have to lock it anymore- they just think it's locked! :)
Good job Marlo! I love it! Such sure ideas and I love the colors!
What a great job you did I love the "Book Shelves" what a neat idea!
Love it love it love it!! It turned out awesome. Ohhh...and welcome to the world of early risers!! Now you know that Drake probably only slept in b/c he had no other choice:) Nooo...but hopefully he will start sleeping better that always sucks! And yes I totally agree on a lock.
