Revamping Baby's Room

This post was submitted by member Perkinswood in CasaSugar's community.

Over the weekend I updated our almost 2-year-old son Seth's room so that it would be more functional for him. It was definitely in bad shape. No space to play, curtains that were way too short and boring. It basically felt like a box with a ton of wood furniture in it.

There really wasn't a budget to do anything extravagant, but changes needed to be made. So I got rid of a dresser, made curtains from a flat sheet, stole storage from our own closet for better and more accessible toy storage, added some free art, and painted a wall with chalkboard paint we made at home.

Here's a post from a CasaSugar Community member, h2urHome from their Su Casa group:

This was a super easy project to do in a day.  I started off with an old toy box that was sitting in my garage.

I painted it blue or more specifically Benjamin Moore's New York State of Mind and then I modge podged some maps I had laying around.

I've shared the inspiration board for Käfer's nursery decor a long, long time ago and I'm thrilled to announce that our project has been completed two weeks before the arrival of our little baby girl. Can't wait to hear what you think!

When I looked for paint for the walls, I wanted to make sure to buy VOC-free paint only. You know, no chemicals, no toxic fumes, none of that. I was excited to find this color at The Land Of Nod and after requesting a color swatch, I thought it matched my color palette perfectly. Well, unfortunately, it didn't turn out to be what I expected. Too bad I only realized that after my dear husband and our wonderful friend Yuko had painted the walls. Yes, there is 'pain' in painting!

A lil one's room is more than just a bedroom. It's a playroom, a place to sleep, and a room to read. Before kids are born, moms spend hours picking out the perfect crib and decor. When the child is ready to move into a bed, it's time to revamp. Our LilSugar Community members are proud of the rooms they've created so it's time to show them off!

When lil boys move beyond snips and snails their lairs often need an upgrade too. Lil Community member Intbyfrancesca helped a 7-year-old boy transition a small bare space into a sophisticated room with plenty of space to store his abundance of toys. She shared the transformation in our Revamping Baby's Room group.

We started with a mature gray – Whitestone 2134-60 – for the walls and Hale Navy HC-154 for the accent wall then layered bold fun accessories to keep it youthful and energetic. By incorporating a window bench with drawer storage we maximized the space and created a wonderful nook for reading or just hanging. The twin loft bed from Stanley's Young America collection allows a desk and dresser underneath and keeps the room uncluttered, polished and functional. We used replaceable Flor carpet tiles as the rug and indoor/outdoor water resistant fabric on the bench so if an accidental chocolate milk spills it's no biggie. Style Tiles from PB Teen keeps Aidan organized with play date schedules, birthday invitations and cool pics of his buddies.

We had been using our spare room as a storage room/office for the past two years, but have now started the process of turning it into a nursery for our baby boy, due in February. Step one was to empty it out and next week we will begin painting. It's a small, odd shaped room that is pretty narrow, so I don't have a ton of space, but will try to use it wisely. I have visions of white furniture, a nautical themed mural and matching bedding and accessories.
