A Child’s Theme Room
That is Not Too Themey

My good blogging friend Holly has been designing an adorable room for a little boy and she gave me permission to share it with you! She knows I love a theme that is not too themey. And this one is PERFECT!

The theme here is dogs, but it would be oh-so-easy to change out if he decides dogs are not for him and he wants aardvarks or something. And if he loves dogs forever, this room is not going to be dated.

I adore all the little details! You’ll have to click over to Holly’s post on this room to get the scoop on all the details…

I love the stripes too. I did stripes like this for my girls rooms back in the 90′s and I wish I could have brought their walls along with us when we moved. It was a lot of work but I sure loved the effect! They had really tiny rooms, but the stripes really opened up the space!

Yesterday when I was doing my Polyvore room, my nine year old son was set up nearby with his sister’s computer. We got him all hooked on Polyvore. He mastered the whole room design thing right away. I had to laugh, as his Polyvore room design was based a dog theme as well. It is just a little less subtle. Well, a lot less subtle. Dogs on the chandeliers, dogs on the bed, dogs on the chairs. Whatever works for ya. Imagine the dog hair! OY.

When we did the pirate scavenger hunt for our son a few months ago, he collected quite a few "treasures." We took a shelf in his room, cleared it off, and allowed him to put all of the mementos from that day on display. It was a rotating display, he … ** Read more **

Rate My Space

What is the fascination with Rate My Space? Someone, please tell me! I know it is fun to look into other people's homes, I get that. I love to peek inside myself if given the chance! I am the kind of person who will drive around a neighborhood at … ** Read more **

Whimsical & Tasteful Children’s Rooms

You know, I never visit HGTV.com. Why? I have no idea. Maybe it is because I have an aversion to "rate my space" (stay tuned, my little rant is coming up in the next post). But, HOLY COW, today, I have to say, I am hooked. It is better than watching … ** Read more **

The Superhero Exception

For those of you with younger boys, you may have run across this dilemma. Your son wants a superhero room. You don't love the idea. I have referred to these theme rooms a few times, and in my opinion, they generally end up tacky. Especially theme … ** Read more **

About A Boy And His Room

August 2007 I wasn't going to write today, since I pre-wrote and posted my daily ramblings last night. But, I just decided to go ahead and write again anyways. I have so many ideas always in my head I truly could post hourly. But, I have other … ** Read more **
