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.

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.

Do you Pinterest?

Pinterest has been blowing up the crafts/design world for months now.  And I, being the cutting edge joiner I am...just recently signed on.  What can I say, I'm a pioneer.

My personal Pinterest page featuring deep ideas like possible hairstyles.

For those of you who are not in the know, Pinterest is an online clipboard.  Just like you cut out pictures from magazines and put them in your inspiration file only to file that file in a place you can't remember...Pinterest allows you to take images from all over the web and post them to your personal pinboard.  It's pretty much awesomeness on a stick.  Except minus the stick.
