Andrew's Room

As expected, we have been working to ready the house for B2B's arrival, and this included updating Andrew's room a little. Aside from the big boy bed (which, knock on wood, has been working out famously), redoing his space meant hanging shelves and some new artwork, as well as moving most of the turtle nursery things to B2B's room. Andrew's hangout is now a hodge-podge of Cars, Thomas the Tank Engine, and a smidgen of special turtle items. Centralized theme? No. Loved by the resident toddler? A resounding Yes.

Do I actually believe this bedroom in our glorious rental is worthy of a spread in "Country Living?" No. I just like to see where people live and what they do with space (especially during major life-changing impending family additions) and figured my blog buddies felt the same.

Your entrance is welcomed by the watchhounds.

The gorgeous turtle watercolor above the bookshelf was done by good WV friend Ellie Windom.
Jon put up these toddler-untouchable shelves the other day. They house special mementos from Andrew's time as a wee one.

The play baby crib was mine as a child,
and Andrew loves putting his babies "night night" in there.

Maddie rarely misses a beat when Andrew's playing in his room.

The frog toy box was also mine.


Thanks for taking the tour. Now, bye-bye to blogland for a while to work on B2B's room...

Thanks for the tour. It looks very good and I love all the windows it looks like he has in his room. Can't wait to see B2B's room.

You didn't mention that the play baby crib was also mine (Grandma). That thing is getting close to 60 years old. Was used heavily...but evidently, gently. It is so vivid in my mine with me and you playing with it.:)

The room is great. Why even think of a theme when what matters most is his happiness and it looks like he is one happy boy!
