Project People - Ewan's Room

It is a bit lame that I am just getting around to posting this look at Ewan's room. His room was slow going at first with Kevin finishing his CPA and the chaos of work, but Kevin made it his mission to finish the room before he went back to work from paternity leave, 2 weeks after Ewan was born, so literally this post is 30+ weeks late.

When we first found out that we were having a baby I knew I wanted a room with white board and batten, chocolate brown walls, a colored ceiling, and a gallery feel. Once we found out Ewan was a boy in October of 2011 we quickly found his bedroom set at Pottery Barn Kids and the color scheme came together --- navy blue, light blue, and green. The bedding was paired with train sheets that we did not love so we got 2 sets of the old truck twin sheets and worked with iviebaby to turn one set in to a fitted crib sheet and 2 changing table covers and the linens were done! We then got cans of the perfect paint and went to town. The frames were unfinished and we painted them all, the gallery look was our goal since it is easy to change out the contents of the frames as Ewan grows. The mobile was designed by me with a cookie cutter, cut by my dad, and painted and hung by Kevin. 

I wanted the room to be simple, comfortable, and full of love --- the pictures can probably tell the rest!

Like every project it can take some time to get going...

First piece of furniture - The book cart

Picking the right ceiling color

Finishing the floor 

In the middle - a work in progress

Drilling the board and batten tops

And then it was done and we loved it... 

The entrance with a mama made sign 

The mirror above the changing table has been a big hit

The book cart is already nearing capacity

The rocker recliner was a must

People question the twin,  its the best spot for family story time

The chair, Dermot, and this pillow host monthly photo shoots

The mobile - a family creation

His name on the wall was a must along with our first family photo

A pretty complete look at Ewan's space

We really love Ewan's room and think that it will grow nicely with him. He has slept in his crib since he was 8 weeks old and the crib mattress has dropped to its lowest setting since, and we look forward to the day that our litte boy is cuddled in to his pillows on his big boy bed with his Patrick dog.
