The boys' new room!

Carter requested Lightning McQueen for his next bedroom decor.  Since Henri's room is slightly larger and already grey, we moved the boys into what was originally our guest room, then Henri's room (Henri's still sleeping in the crib in what was Carter's room).

We're excited with the results!  First up, the lamp with fabric cut outs from Carter's duvet cover that I used Terrificly Tacky tape on to attach to the plain white lamp shade. Lamp was $10 new. The nightlight I got for $5 off a mom at MOPS.



Next is Clock from Oriental Trading, paper/stickers from Sandy Lion (Oriental Trading) Numbers cut with Base Camp Cricut Cartridge


Red picture frames reused from Curious George room, Used Cricut Cartridge for Cars set at 5 inches



Carter's new duvet cover reusing his Curious George comforter. I used one full set of sheets that had been returned to Target and was marked down $10 because of repackaging. Pillowcase was in the set as well, back of duvet is a flat sheet my grandma found for me a few years ago.



Henri's bed. I couldn't find toddler bedding that matched, so I ripped out the elastic from the full sheet set fitted sheet and used it for the back of the duvet cover. The front of the duvet cover is a second pillowcase from the set that I cut in half and pieced with extra fabric from the fitted sheet. The flat sheet peeking out is one of two I made from regular fabric at the fabric store since we have a ton of fitted crib sheets, but no toddler flat sheets.



Overview of the room

It feels a bit cramped to me, but the boys think it is cozy, so as long as they are happy and keep their toys picked up, I'm happy :)
