little man cave...

remember me?  

i know...

i'm a ridiculously terrible blogger.  

please forgive...

i'm raising babies over here.  ;)  

which is why it took THIS long

to get the newest baby's room done.  

he is 7 months and 14 days old today,

and we just drove the final nail in his room 

this afternoon.

sheesh...  and it's not even terribly complicated.  

we're just terribly slow.  

{disclaimer : not attempting to win 

any photography contests

with this post.}

 until John-John earns his very first sports jersey,

we decided to frame his "coming home" outfit.

when picking his colors,

we started with gray,

because EVERYTHING in my house starts with gray.  

hee hee

then we added pops of orange and dark aqua.

we mounted some white boxes from ikea

and put scrapping paper behind them

to add some color.

i LOVE wallpaper.

we bought this fun paintable/textured wallpaper 

for the accent wall behind his crib

and painted it a dark charcoal.

this was a bookcase from ikea

that we turned sideways.  

the grammy made these bench seats

out of a shower curtain in the same fabric as his quilt.

{way cheaper than buying the actual fabric for it)

man-ccessories. :)

 i am so happy he is pleased with his room.

he's my very favorite (and shortest) he-client so far.  ;)
