A colour explosion



 

 
 
 
 

My son's room
Storage, yes! Cozy, yes! Toys, yes! Books, yes! Space to play, yes!

Is it done? No!

We will add more photos to the wall to make wallpaper (48 truck photos so far)...the toys change, the books change, the felt board changes...always more art for display. This room is constantly in motion!

Colour!!  KA-POW!

    Love how colourful it is. Also love that it is 100% a kid's room, without being cliche. Amazing job :)

  6. It looks great and I'm sure he loves it! We did the same thing with the Ikea bookcase on its side - isn't it perfect for toy storage and all sorts of displays (it's all about lego here)!
