Rustic Boy Bedroom Part 1

I finally have a little update on Little Man’s new room. I may not have an entire room reveal ready, but I have half of one! I find that I am always waiting until a room is absolutely perfect until I show any of it on the blog, but one of my goals with the new house is to show you more ‘in progress’ updates. So here I am with a half finished Rustic Boy Bedroom.
Rustic Modern Boys BedroomI really love how this modern woodsy room is turning out for my little guy. We didn’t find out the gender with either of our kids so each had a neutral nursery. After we moved I finally had the chance to design my very first boy room. Oh my goodness I am having so much fun!

Brown and White Rustic Modern Boys RoomThis room has been fairly easy to put together since almost everything came from our old house. I pulled a lot of items from several of our old rooms and it took shape pretty quickly.

Rustic Boys Room with chevron curtainsMy latest project for this room are these DIY Chevron Curtains. I cannot tell you how long I searched for the perfect curtains for this room. After several failed attempts at purchasing some and painting one pair  (an epic fail), I finally stumbled upon this brown and white chevron fabric at Hobby Lobby. I’ll admit, I’m a little over the chevron craze but these were perfect for this room. They are made out of duck cloth which does run a little pricey, but with my 40% off coupon I was able to make both panels for about $45.

Rustic Modern Boys RoomThis little seating area is one of my favorites. I still love our original white rocker that we had for our first nursery.  People thought I was crazy for putting a white rocker in a kid’s room, but it has actually held up really well. We’ve had it professionally cleaned a few times over the last 4 years and it holds up great.

Galvanized Kid's cabinetI snagged this adorable galvanized organizer at TJ Maxx a while back and I still love it.

Wood Crate For BooksI purchased this crate at Hobby Lobby and it’s definitely had its share of different uses over the years. Today, it serves as a book holder.

Vintage Pillow and BasketI couldn’t pass up this pillow and basket from HomeGoods, they were just what this corner needed!

Rustic Modern Boys BedroomI love how this room is coming together! I must note that the old trunk was my grandparent’s and it is so special to me. I’m so glad I have it.

After months and months of debating what to do with the rest of the room, I think I finally have a plan! Stay tuned.

      Hi Komal! Unfortunately I don’t have the color info, we bought the house brand new and already done and I know they created a custom color for the walls. Sorry!
