I was told a trick by my older sister on how to keep your toddler in bed (my sisters are geniuses!) So naturally when Jett turned one in a half I gave it a try! It worked.....For one whole year Kyler and I have enjoyed tucking him in for "night night" and not seeing that shining face of his until the following morning. Each night before bed Jett would pick a new "treasure" to sleep with....a rock, child size plastic rake, piece of paper, all of his toy cars...:) Really anything that wasn't soft to snuggle with. It was always the highlight of our lives day to see what he going to bring to bed with him!
Then a few weeks ago he got out of his bed (I was so very surprised!!) Made his way down our stair and climbed into our bed!
Suddenly he can't fall asleep unless I am right beside him......So I lay there until he drifts off to dream land...and I wonder what he is dreaming about....I sneak off to my own bed and I always, always (as of late) end up waking up with him again....Then Kyler will bring Miss Wynnie up to that boat bed of his {ours} and all three of us will sleep. Wynnie is always awake before 6:30 singing her little heart out! I lay there trying to remember what it used to be like before I had my very own real life alarm clock...

So on to the details of the Misters room..
We purchased his boat bed off KSL classifieds. Its previous owners were two husky teenage boys, who were more than happy to get it off their hands..HA HA
The map is a wallpaper decal from pottery barn and the rugs and bed spread were purchased at Target. That store is just full of fun stuff!
The color scheme of Jetts big boy room was inspired by the color plate of an oatmeal canister...I only wish I was kidding :)
Thanks for looking! Have a happy Friday!
Ok..you need to come to my house and decorate for me! So cute!!
ReplyDeleteThat is an amazing bedroom! Thank you for sharing your pictures, and your son is precious :D
ReplyDeleteYour son has the coolest room ever. I love the bed and all the planes in the room. The map on the wall above the bed is a fantastic idea. And I love the original artwork that he made hanging on the wall. Hmm, have I named everything in the room yet? Seems like it. It's perfect. Your kids have the coolest spaces.

ReplyDeletewow. you put that pink bedroom to SHAME!!! Love Jett's bedroom. You have such a talent in design :)
ReplyDeleteAll pictures are looking cute especially boat bed is looking great.. Kids love to see such kind of innovative and such styles of things in their room!
ReplyDeleteI find myself feeling a little mad that my parents weren’t cool enough to give me a bedroom that looked like this. Of course, I do come from a family with 4 girls for kids, so I’m sure the sailor theme never came to mind. I found myself laughing that the original design for Jett’s room was pink and the bed had a princess canopy. That actually looked like my youngest sister’s room!
