Big Boy Bedroom Plan

My 3 year-old son will soon be sleeping in a big boy bed.  He's been quite content in his crib (only crawled out once!) all this time.  I took my time searching for a new bed and didn't go with the car bed although I did consider it, opting instead for a better quality twin bed and "Cars" bedding.



I searched everywhere, looking online and in several stores.  I almost bought one from Wal-Mart.com, but the reviews weren't that good and said the color (Walnut) was more orange/red than pictured.










I really loved the dark blue Pottery Barn Camp bed, but it was $599 (on sale from $749).









Ultimately, I chose a twin bed (Hampton Classic Bed) from Pottery Barn Teen that is on sale for $399.


















and also a red and white patterned sheet set with a red jersey knit pillow case (for "accidents" and when I want a change).





This West Elm shower curtain will become his drapes after a little sewing to make them longer (thanks Amanda!)










and the upper part of his walls will be painted something similar to this, Indi Go-Go by Benjamin Moore.










There will be pops of red, perhaps one of these bean bag chairs from Pottery Barn:










It's a start - finally!
