Luke's Awesome Room

This is Luke....
We just finished redecorating his room...come see!

Luke's Room Before

This is Luke's Room Now.

I repainted this room a few months ago and left it really simple.  But when I found this fence section at the lumber store ... I knew exactly what to do with it.

I used the backside of it because it was more weathered and I like the cross beams.

This iron headboard was a wedding gift from my grandparents.

It was actually shiny black and brass... :) (1993)

I spray painted it to look like flat black iron.

A Mon. - Fri. wardrobe shelf helps our mornings go smooth.
The words were printed on vinyl from my circut and applied right on the wall.

I bought these letters at Pottery Barn when my kids were babies.

That dresser was my husbands as a boy - it's been refinished a few times.

A bookshelf made from an old wood pallet. 

This is a task light from my garage.  It makes for an awesome reading light.
 A 25 watt bulb puts off plenty of light without being too bright.
I turn a soft lamp on in each bedroom in the evenings to help keep the mood calm.
(Calm?....doesn't always work)

Two tree trunks from our backyard support a small bench that houses some
 white crates filled with toys and things.

Part of the old pallet features some of Luke's little treasures.

Luke wanted me to make him a sign that says
 "Life is Good"

I'm a loyal customer at the lumber store where I found this fence section.
It wasn't very straight and looked neglected so I asked the guys if I could rescue it.
They also let me throw in an old wood pallet
 which made this project...FREE!
I have an eye for reusable items that might add character (basically...JUNK).  Sometimes while we are driving in the car we'll see things on the side of the road with a free sign on them .... my husband always speeds up at that point hoping I won't notice....
 I ALWAYS notice!

Sweet Dreams...
