Hank's Big Boy Room

Back before the bambino arrived, I had a "Before Baby List". On that list were about a gazillion sub-lists, one of which was devoted to creating a big boy room for my big boy Hank. We knew we wanted to transition him into a twin bed and wanted to keep the other furniture to a minimum so that he'd have plenty of room to play.

After pinning 4,000 inspiration photos, I finally came up with a layout and a theme. Balls. Soccer balls, baseballs, footballs, basketballs, etc. My baby is OB-sessed. We found the perfect sheets at our local Home Goods which provided the color scheme. 

Bed frame from Goodwill, Ball sheets from Home Goods, White Quilt from Ikea, Chevron quilt handmade from B's grandmother, pillows, draperies and all artwork by yours truly.

Took forever to get just the right shade of grue (grey + blue) on that ball art.

Love this banner that our church in GA gave us when we had Hank baptized.

Reading chair, complete with a chunky baby legs


Found this dresser at a thrift store in Hoover and had my awesome MIL paint it this gorgeous navy color. Is it sad I want to steal it for our living room?





So, in closing...balls.

Phall Phun Photos

Just a quick photo post from all our fall phun:

Riding the Tractor Train with Daddy...totally adorable
Checking out the ladies with big boy boots on.

Costume parade around his MMO program. RAWR!
LOVING his Superman outfit.

Seriously could not be happier that I shoved him into an itchy, too small costume.

There's my happy boy!
