My New House: Henry’s Room

One room I have not touched so far is Henry’s room. As I had JUST finished his gorgeous room in our old home, and all his furniture works in his new room, I put it on hold while we figured some other things out.  It’s an adorable room for a kid- with one big deep window seat perfect for reading and a second smaller one, built in bookshelfs all around the room and a really cozy feel.

The only thing we changed was adding in recessed lighting in here (the ceilings are low so no flushmount fixtures)- not shown in this pic. We also refinished the floors to match the rest of the house – a slightly deeper, cooler brown.

Henry’s room at our old house- GOD I love this room. We’re keeping everything shown here except the wallpaper (*cue sobbing)

I brought some samples home and Henry was drawn to the “red crazy stripes” as he put it. I do think it’s super cute, and since this room is quite a bit darker than his old room, it’ll brighten it up. Sadly, his commissioned painting won’t fit above his dresser in this room so I need to find a spot for it in the hall outside his room or in the playroom.  I’ll probably put a mirror above his dresser in the new room- maybe this one?

Here’s a little board with links:

DAYBED // CAR ART // NIGHTSTANDS // SWING ARM SCONCES // RUG (SIMILAR) // WALLPAPER // ROMAN SHADE FABRIC // BEDDING // CHAIR // FLOOR LAMP // FELT BINS // BOOKENDS // ACCENT TABLE

I am starting to order for the other rooms in the house and will share those boards soon too!
