My Boys Bedroom Makeover

My four year old's room desperately needed a make-over from its' toddler status. It has finally more or less come together, although I am never completely happy with any room (that's the wanna-be-designer in me) What matters is he loves his new decor and I had loads of fun piecing it together. My favourite part by far are the stripes. I got the idea from a fabulous on-line magazine called lonnymag.com. It was a labor of love and well worth it. Enjoy the pics!


The bed frame was a local antique store find at a steal of deal (129$), lights and bedside table are from Ikea.

Like every four year old, my son believes he is a super-hero so the sign above his bed is quite well suited. 

This little table was another antique store find, I love the red.

The pendant was an e-bay find, really gives the room a unique vibe.


The knitted floor poof was an etsy buy and the dresser came from my husband's childhood, got an uplift with a couple coats of fresh paint and some new hardware to match the side table.

This fun print was from Ikea as well, I love the colours.

These wall lights were so cheap, easy to install and make for great story time reading.




It's all about the special little touches, I say these words to my little man every night when I tuck him in so it was the perfect accessory for his room.


Hope you enjoyed the post, sweet dreams to all!

My Spring favourites


There is so much to love about spring. Here are a few of my favourites....

Dresses and Sandals
BBQ Pizza





Road Rides and Farmers Markets
Iced Mochas from Blenz

and of course, we can't forget the tulips.

I am feeling very inspired this spring. I have been digging away in my garden, gone on a couple road rides and even took a great little trip to Vancouver. Amazing how a little more sun and some warmer weather can just wake you up in so many ways...
