Mappy

I finished decorating Addison's room this week-a project that started last October.
First, I painted his walls Cottage White by Behr. It is my favorite shade of white. Not quite white, not quite ivory.

He loves geography, and already had a few maps in his room. A friend gave me an old Atlas and some maps she found from our local recycling barn, and I decided to take the map theme a bit further.
I secured them to the wall using blue painter's tape. I figure there will be no damage done if he wants to take them off.

Everything in his room is recycled.

The desk and bed were yard sale finds. I mixed my own paint for both pieces using Sunburst, by Behr and some white I had on hand.

The chest used to be mine, and that is what holds his toys.

I got some old wooden crates to create a bedside table. I think I paid $20 for all of them.

The dresser is an old one. My husband thinks his father used to use it when he was younger!

Addison came thrifting with me a few years ago, and loved that little clock. He thought it was so cool that you had to wind it up. The man at the booth gave it to him because he loved it so much!

His room is not always this neat, although he is a very tidy kid. He likes everything in it's place, which makes me very happy! I keep thinking his younger brother and sister will catch on, but so far it is not happening.

Enjoy the weekend!
