Boys Bedroom makeover.. (before and after shots)...





CRINGE!!!! A few months ago, this was the state of the boys bedroom.  Granted there was more toys on those shelves and Lego all over the floor.  The room looked tired, the paint covered in crayon marks, shelves pulled from the wall (where an over ambitious 5 year old decided to climb!).  The two Ikea Kritter beds were fast being grown out of, so the decision was made, we needed a new bed solution and room for them to sleep and grow for the next stage of their lives, age 5 to 10 years.

So, after hunting around for a decent bunk bed I came across Furniture Choice's range and instantly knew this one was perfect for the boys.  A decent single sized bed (that can fit an adult if need be), white, simple clean lines.  Oh and importantly can become 2 single beds when the boys have had enough of sharing.

Here is the new room.....








What we did.....

* Painted the green out with Pure Brilliant White on 3 walls, on the back wall we chose a chalky blue by Valspar called Blue Slate.
* Removed the old shelves and replaced them with Ikea ribba ledges.
* Found vintage prints and grouped them together above the vintage chest of drawers
* Painted the Ikea Trofast in a dark grey colour
* Put large doors on to the alcove and made a built in cupboard (to hide away the plastic!)

We love the result!  But I must admit it is still very much in the 'process' of being done!  We would love new drawers for their clothes, and storage for under the bed.  Also re-paint the floor, or maybe have it carpeted for soundproofing purposes!!
