Milam's Park's Themed Big Boy Room Reveal

Transformation Tuesday Y'all!

This has been our fastest room to finish and just maybe my favorite space in the house.  It is so cozy, but not cramped, and just so sweet.  Milam loves his new room and is so SO proud of it!

I wanted an antique - little boy feel.  Rustic with a national parks collected over time vibe which is hard to get when you're on a time crunch.  All of that being said I am very please with the end result.

My mom's very sweet friend gifted us the crib.  It was her children's and she had saved it for her grandkids but ended up not using it.  Above the crib is a vintage poster print of every national park Milam has been to plus a photograph I've taken at each of those parks.  In the close up of his sheets you can see they are a bit of a retro camping theme.  So cute.  He loves them.

This is what you see when you walk in his door.  He has the smallest bedroom and has not only a crib but a big boy bed as well so it is a lot of furniture for now and although this picture looks cramped it does not feel that way in person.

The dresser was my grandmother's and my sister in law had it painted blue and ended up not using it. We were going to have his room be green but when we were given the dresser we figured we would just stick with blue verses repainting it since it had been done professionally.

The deer are from Jonathan's grandfather, the book cart is Ikea and we've had it forever, the sign is from a dear friend, the bedding is amazon, and the wool camping blanket was purchased by my parents way before I was even born. (Link to similar HERE)

 

This amazing bed is from Ikea.  We've had this bed for years as well and we just love it.  It has three giant drawers and has another bed that pulls out as well while the drawers remain intact.  We love it...did I already say that?!

The hooks are from Home Goods and the wooden box is from Jonathan's grandfather.  It's an antique glass milk box from Borden's where he used to work in quality control.  They still made ice cream when he worked there so he got to taste test ice cream for a living.  Dream come true.  The folded blue quilt was made by Jonathan's mom.

On the left is his hospital shadow box and the right is a sign from Jonathan's grandfather's garage that Milam picked himself.  So very proud.  The M and lamp are Homegoods, the rocker is Cracker Barrel, and Super Dog is from Target.  Curtains are Ikea.

The friend who made the John Milam sign also made the "God is Gracious" sign because that is the meaning of John.  It is so special to us.

One of Jonathan's employees made the cute little bucket for his nursery.  It was too cute to leave out so now it holds a few of his favorite cars.

His little drop zone.  He quickly grabs his "bip-bops" (flip flops) and his hat and is ready to go in just a few seconds.  I typically have two backpacks there.  Shown is his school backpack but I keep his church one there as well and his little keds that he wears all the time.

Thanks for touring his sweet little space.  Eventually we'll get his cow hide rug...if we ever can manage to find it in my mom's attic.  He also needs crown and cornices but that's for another time.  As of now he's sleeping in there and just loving it.  I totally blocked all the pretty natural light coming in and its a black box when the lights go off.  Just how we like it.

Tour Georgia's room, Milam's nursery, and the kitchen!
