Connor's Big Boy Room...COMPLETE!

We finally finished Connor's room sometime in June or May...cant really remember now but he has been sleeping in there for a while too. We didnt push him and he just decided one night that he was ready to switch rooms. We painted the room back in the early spring and got the furniture a few months later. We decided on a golf theme because as you know Connor still loves the game. We have incorporated baseball in there too. It took me forever to find some bedding that would fit and finally found this plaid at JCPenney on clearance! We really didnt spend anything on the room, because the furniture came from my parents. Connor will mark the start of the third generation to have used it. It was my Dad's furniture growing up, then it was handed down to my brother, and now Connor. I am not sure if I ever used it, but Mom said she had it in their spare bedroom in the duplex where I was born and remembers changing my diaper on it every day. To think that I am now changing Connor's diapers on there now...so weird! Hopefully that wont last for too much longer though. Got to get this boy potty trained. I think he is ready but when I ask him to go, he doesnt want to. I dont want to push him so that he gets frustrated but he is definitely showing signs. Anyway, back to the room...as I said the dresser and bed were my Dad's and the rest of the stuff we already had or I found on sale. I am still not completely finished, need to make a topper for his bedside table, we are going to order a golf ball toy box we found online and I need to find some shelving and baskets for more and more toys! He loves his bed and has never once gotten out of bed. I saw what Lacy said on her blog and I kind of did the same thing. I told him that he must never get out of bed unless he asks me first. My room is just down the hall and I can hear him through the monitor. Now of course when we start potty training we will have to change this a little but for now it is working great.

His barn stars that An Am found for him. I told her that I was looking for some but was not going to pay the prices they were asking for them. They are just metal stars after all... She called me because she found them at a great deal. She got several different sizes and I painted them to match the room since they were brown and silver. His letters were the ones from his old room and I used my Stampin Up stamps to docter them up a bit to match.

The bed rails are a little difficult to make the bed, but we are making due. Connor definitely needs them. He fell out of the bed three times before we finally purchased them. He might be using them until he is an adult! This child is all over the bed!
