The walls will be white (Behr Polar Bear to be exact). I like that it will help the room feel bright and airy as well as serve as a neutral background for the other pieces in the room. From there, we will pull in deep blue and deep gray details with the curtains, his dresser, and the bedding. I was very inspired by the pairing of wide and thin stripes in this room, so I ordered a new crib sheet with thin blue stripes and a comforter with wide blue and green stripes.
The art will add a lot of color to the space! I purchased the "Be Brave" print from Minted to go with the "Be Bold" print I had gotten for Finn's room at our last house. The little boy with the sword is a fun pairing for the "Be Bold" and "Be Brave" prints, and it is perfect because Finn's name actually means "Little Warrior". I am most excited, though, to get the Animal Map of the World printed and hung. I have wanted it for a long time. I can't wait to see how it turns out! I am also going to print the images of the Lion and Cheetah because I like the simple style as well as the golden yellow color they will bring to the space. The sailboat mobile is from our last house and makes me think of my parents because they love sailing.
I haven't figured out exactly what we are going to do for book storage, but I like the simple style of the bookshelves pictured above. I also like these shelves from Ikea.
The panda lamp will be a fun addition. I have a nightstand from Dylan's parents that I am going to paint dark gray to match Finn's dresser, and I think a lamp will be a nice touch on it. I looked at a few different options but could not pass up the adorable panda. Finn loves animals, and pandas remind me of my sister. Win-win!
Well, there you have it—inspiration for our toddler boy's room. I will make sure to share photos once we get the room finalized. We will be moving him in this weekend, and then I'll hang the art once I have all the pieces (so I can set them out on the floor and play around with the layout before I hang them). And, in case you are interested, I've linked to all of the sources noted above as well as a few other items we use regularly for Finn.
