Tween Boy Bedroom ORC Week 4

All American Boy Room


It's week four of the One Room Challenge with Calling It Home and I'm so happy to say it's getting closer to finished! 

The plan list:
Patch ceiling
Paint walls
Paint and put media center together
Make tractor seat stool
Make /repurpose/ redo a desk (half done)
Make desk lamp (easy peasy, no prob!)
Paint chest of drawers
Make 2nd lamp 
Paint dresser (half done)
Paint mirror (no problem)
Make and paint headboard (this week)
Upcycle trunk (next week)
Drapes
Pillows
Bedding
Accessories (desk) (got ideas!)
Decor (upcycle guitar(s), dogs, cars, trucks, sports)
Wall art




During last week my biggest challenge was shifting and painting furniture.

But I succeeded in making plain old wood bedroom pieces look more masculine. I used Country Chic Paint in Liquorice.



And I finished revamping current junk furniture into a tween approved media center with a little imagination, repurposed wood and paint.


Also, the bedding, drapes and storage bins are ready to add to the room. We've chosen what decor and things to keep in for the theme.

An easier task of making a couple of toss pillow covers was completed. It's definitely looking like an All American Boy room!



As we get closer to the last week, I can determine whether or not things are working and if anything needs to be added or removed. It's all still in a trial state right now. 


Let's go on over to Linda's place to see how everyone else is doing this week!

Isn't it so exciting to see how everyone is transforming their spaces?!! It's a lot of work but, once we get to where we need to be, we'll sit back and breathe.
