That's my favorite theme for a room...bedroom, kitchen, really any space. I started the house refreshing in Oliver's room because it was far and beyond the most hideous space here. For whatever reason the walls and ceilings are all painted the same color, and that color isn't white. Oliver's room was some dark tan/light brown cave with black blinds. It just looked dirty and yucky despite being immaculately clean.
AFTER!!!!
Fresh paint, Benjamin Moore Simply White (ceiling and trim)
Benjamin Moore Going to the Chapel (walls)
New light fixture
Same curtains we've had forever
Super clearance target bedding ($10!!)
Freshly painted headboard
White blinds!!! WHITE
Fresh paint on the dresser
New pictures in the same IKEA frames he's always had
IKEA wall shelves
I removed the closet doors so I could paint them white, I had full intention of re hanging them, but the space is more functional without them. I'll re hang them when we get "the call" :-) For now, lego play, book shelves, and a few long sleeve shirts (thank you California winter).
I added some bookshelves on the side and a couple hat hooks
Magnetic wall
Paint does amazing things!
In theory his room is simple enough with so few things that he should be able to keep it clean himself. "Should" being the key word. Is there any boy/man on the planet capable of shutting all their dresser drawers?
