Magnolia Mommy Made: My Little Man's Big Boy Room Reveal

I recently posted a sneak peek of my little man's big boy room. Well, now I'm ready to reveal the whole room. My little guy is just over a year old but he just seemed too old for his owl themed nursery and since he's already exhibited a love of all things "wheeled," I decided to go with a transportation theme for his big boy room. "All aboard" the room tour!

First Stop: Book Wall

I bought three inexpensive picture ledges from Ikea and used them as book shelves. I love that you can see the artwork on the covers of the books and that, as Little Man grows, he'll be able to select books much easier than if they were stored on a traditional bookshelf. I snagged the Route 66, oil can, and stop sign at Hobby Lobby when they were 50% off. Have I mentioned that I love a great deal?! To finish off the book wall I bought the custom road sign on Etsy for less than $15 shipped!

Speaking of great deals, I bought these Pottery Barn "vroom" letters from another mom on a local moms' buy/sell/trade site for $8. They're hanging over the closet door.

Next Stop: Art Series

If you read my blog or check out my Etsy shop, it's no secret that I love chevron. It's a great print to use in a little boy's room. So many prints come off very feminine but chevron is completely neutral. My DIY wall art prints showcase the navy and lime color scheme for the room.

I bought these inexpensive white frames at Michael's. I cut the transportation themed images using my Cricut machine and I used chevron fabric as the background. This was such a simple project but I think it has the most impact in the room. There is a series of seven prints in the room. See the rest below. I think the dump truck is my favorite. I wonder which one will be Little Man's favorite?

In my Etsy shop, I specialize in custom personalized frames so Little Man's room had to have one! I love this train print paper.

Here are a couple more of the prints in the series. Below the prints hangs a custom shelf my nephew made in shop class for my little man. Isn't that sweet and crafty?! I picked up the hood ornament clock at the Hobby Lobby 50% sale and my MIL bought the name train for Little Man before he was born.

I recovered these wall letters from Little Man's nursery in blue stripe, train print, and lime stripe papers to coordinate with the new room.

This corner shelf was also already in Little Man's nusery. I just added a couple of airplanes and now it's at home in the new room. I bought this shelf at a local thrift store for $10.

The final two wall prints. I'm not sure if it's clear in the picture but the bottom one is a bike. The lamp on the table is an upcycled lamp I picked up second hand. Check out my previous post for before & after pics (http://magnoliamommymade.blogspot.com/2013/02/sneak-peek-big-boy-room_8.html).
