renovation: a's "big boy" room

Our first grader has been asking for a "Big Boy Room" for more than a year now. He loves Legos, his kitty, experiments, trains, matchbox cars, computer games, and being mischevious. Two weekends ago we started the project by painting his ceiling white and the walls a medium cool grey with blue undertones.

Before: the entire room was a medium blue shade, which came with the house, and was fine for his baby-blue and white striped furniture and pale green crib.

A few things we're keeping: his white twin bed with star headboard, Ryan's surfboard, his armoire and dresser (though they will be repainted), the cute side table, and the star lantern. We're losing the gross shaggy carpet, the bleached out rug, the "baby" artwork, and the curtains.

This past weekend we finished painting the room and started on the furniture. I'll post photos soon of the progress. My favorite things so far is a big magnetic strip of paint on one wall, so A can post up favorite pictures.
