I think I’ve said this before but getting the kids rooms situated is high on my list of priorities when we move into our new house. They’ve been so good about moving, putting their things in storage and the general uprooting that happens when you move twice in twelve months. Today I thought I’d share what I’m thinking of for Dylan’s new room. He needs new bedding and decor so this is the perfect time to freshen up his room and make it more of a place for the boy that he is rather than the baby we brought home from the hospital. Someone pass the tissues.
Growing up we didn’t have overly themed bedrooms but had “kid” sheets. For awhile my brother and I both had California Raisin sheets – only in the eighties. ha! I tend to favor the same style of rooms for our kids. Luckily for me, Pottery Barn Kids has bedding the kids and I both love and it’s super easy to change out the sheets without making over the whole room when their tastes change.

For Dylan’s new room I’m leaning toward shades of navy, grey, white and pops of red. For his bedding I love the plaid duvet cover and shams, navy and grey quilt, the cutest truck sheets and a throw pillow for some texture. Dylan saw me looking at lighting and really wants the ‘blue one’ so that’s probably what we will get. I’m leaning toward a light grey for the walls which will look really nice with his dark brown furniture.
I initially wanted to put a license plate map of the USA above his dresser but I’m having a hard time finding one with good reviews; if you know of one, let me know. With that being said, I am not sure what we will hang on his walls just yet. If there’s room next to his bed, I think a couple of these shelves would be nice to add to hold some books to read before bed.
The overall feel of the room fits Dylan now and can grow with him for a number of years, which is a win in my book. There you have it, what I’m thinking of right now for Dylan’s big boy room. It will be interesting to see what stays and what changes in the coming months.
