Room #2 Complete...The Kid's Bedroom

I LOVE the kid's room! I painted Brady's bed a chocolate brown and distressed it and I think it came out awesome! Eventually I'll put the ladder on, which will be painted red. That probably won't be for a while though since Olivia loves to climb ladders!


We did promise Brady that when he turns 5 and goes to Kindergarten he can sleep on the top bunk! By that time next fall I'm hoping Olivia will be ready to sleep on the bottom bunk so we can take her crib down and they can have more room to play!



Above Brady's bed there is a sign my mom gave him that says "I Love You to the Moon and Back!" That's a little saying that they have always told each other!


This is a "Idaho Cowboy" collage that my mom and Brady made while she was here visiting this fall! Brady spent hours cutting out little pictures with her! We love it and it's really fun to look at while I sing him songs at night.



This is Brady's "special shelf" with all of his "cowboy and indian stuff." A while back he and I made these "special tins" to keep his cowboys and indians and his jack in. We made them out of formula tins, scrapbook paper, mod podge, ribbon and fringe. I think they're pretty cute- and useful too! (There's nothing better than something cute, useful...and organizational!!!)

I also made a treasure "box" for Brady out of a protein powder container. It houses all of his junk, uh, I mean treasures! Such as scraps of fabric I throw out, nails, scraps of wood, string, stickers, random pieces of paper, fishing lewers, erasers etc. You name it and he probably has it in there! he's one funny kid! Every now and then I have to dump it out and throw things away (things that he won't miss!) Shhh! Don't tell him! Gotta make room for more "treasures!"

This little wall is dedicated to my little antique stove that was my Great Grammie Abbott's. I love this little stove! I grew up playing with it and lovingly restored it with my Dad for a Young Women's project. This stove is what actually gave me the whole idea of doing a "vintage" cowboy/cowgirl room for Brady and Olivia when I knew that they were going to be sharing a room.

For Christmas they are getting lots of vintage finds to "cook" and play with! I already have collected quite a few enamelware cups and saucers which are on the brown shelf above the stove.

Olivia's side! I am still getting her some letters to spell out her name and I have a beautiful piece of art from a friend in Maine that I'm trying to find a frame for (so more pictures to come).

Lastly, I made this little frame for Brady to be able to showcase his latest masterpieces! I took a frame that I had bought at DI for a couple of bucks and some ribbon that I already had and stapled it on the back of the frame. Then I used clothespins to attach his artwork!

The kids love their bedroom and I can't wait for Christmas to give them all of the little toys I've been finding and making! They're going to have so much fun together in there!
