Oh wow! I did not realize that a whole year has gone by since our oldest moved into his own room. This was formerly J’s nursery, so it is a small space. The bed I built out of IKEA Expedit shelves has been one of the most popular projects on the blog. I’m finally getting around to showing you the rest of the room, now that its occupant is away on a school trip. He’s actually pretty neat for a fifth grader, but I still needed a little uninterrupted time to make the room blog-worthy. Of course, this means I will be showing you the younger boys’ room in approximately… never?!
Because I wanted to make the most of this small space, I did buy a lot of the furniture new. But when I look at the room, I realize there are also a lot of personal home-made touches. I’ll list the projects at the end of this post. Meanwhile, go ahead and enjoy looking at K’s room, which will look like this for exactly 13 more days, until he gets home. I did update a few things, and I hope he’ll think they are a good “welcome home” surprise!
Some of the fun projects in K’s room include:
- Oversized wall initial
- Cozy fleece throw
- Decoupaged mirrors
- Art frames with clips
- Upcycled pencil tins
Boy, I miss my boy!

Where did you get the closet doors, how do they open?? Beautiful room
Hi!
The closets are IKEA units built into the room. The doors open individually. Our contractor used standard Pax closet units, and their tip was to duct tape the back panels in place, to make sure they don’t come loose later. They’ve held up well over 9 years now. Good luck with your projects!
