Patriotic Boy Room

When I found out we were going to be able to get into a house and Macsen would get his own room I immediately started planning how I wanted to do an "all-boy" room.  I loved so many that I had seen and was probably the most excited to do his room than any other room in the house!  You can see some of the ideas I had here.

When I told my mom what kind of theme I was going for she said she had the perfect thing for me. This antique American flag was my great-grandpa's who served as a chauffeur to generals in WWI.  How cool is that?  Even though it is a little overpowering in this little room, I still love it and love what it stands for and that it belonged to an ancestor.

Bed is a hand-me-down from our parents and its fun to know that our kids will sleep in the same beds their dad slept in!

Curtains were a gift, but you can get them at Ikea for $20.  Giraffe pillow from Chic Decor Pillows.

Blue toy box from Ikea- also a gift.  The dresser was a hand-me-down too.

Letter "M" from Craftcuts.
Laundry Hamper was a wedding present (from Bed Bath and Beyond.)

I love this antique red box my mom gave me.  She used it as a button box and it is still full of old and new buttons- some are really cool!  I just liked it in Macsen's room since I don't have red anywhere else in the house.

My father-in-law is a dentist and he did the mold of Macsen's hand.  The giraffe is from Walmart.

Horse head book-end is from Goodwill and box next to the rocking chair is from Ikea but I got it at Goodwill.  Basket is also thrifted.  Bookcase was a hand-me-down (oak that I painted white.)  Velvet pillows are also a hand-me-down (all from our grandparents that have passed away and its nice to have things around that remind us of them once in a while.)

Frames from Walmart, pictures taken by me.

I think this whole room cost me $20 thanks to all my nice parents and grandparents.  It is really fun to have both sides of the family and memories of them all in one room!

I will be sharing this post HERE
