Kameron's Room Decor

Not sure about anyone else, but I am in Spring cleaning mode these days.
I am cleaning out closets including toys, clothes and anything else that we do not absolutely love. Depending on how much I find lurking around here, I will either donate it all or have a dreaded yard sale. I love to go to yard sales but sure hate dealing with them. I guess the saying is true,
"One person's trash is another person's treasure".
That's why we all love antiques, right?

As I was cleaning out my son's closet, getting rid of toys and clothes and getting rid of any extras to help keep things simple.
I realized I had not posted pictures of his completed room decor.

When I was pregnant with Coco, Kameron was in the larger room between him and Brooklin. We knew Brooklin and Coco(the newbie) would be sharing a room, which meant a move for Kameron to the smaller room.
I felt guilt doing this because he is older and he wasn't real happy about the switch. Especially at that time, because he knew we were having a girl not a boy. So a double whammy for him. I finally told him that if he would move rooms happily, I would be sure to finish, or start in this case, his room decor before we started decorating the girls room and before his baby sis made her entrance into the world and our home.

I already had the majority of his stuff to decorate his room for quite awhile. I kept it all in his room behind the door while I needed to still get a few things. My mom always taught us, don't ever start a room decor project without having everything to do it, for the most part. That way you're not tired of the comforter or whatever else it is that you "put" out before you get the rest.
Sometimes it takes some searching for the little extras. So that's why I waited.

Many times prior to this he kept saying, "Mom, are we ever going to put that stuff out?"
So this little bit of encouragement I was offering, put a smile on his face.
Well, almost.
So when my mom came out for her visit to help me with the new baby, we got started on Kameron's room first thing.
We had a camping theme in mind for his room. I knew exactly what I wanted. I had researched and written notes and selected most of the items/projects I wanted to use.
It was the perfect fit since he loves outdoors, camping, fishing, hunting, shooting, and any of the other male stuff that boys, big and small do while their ladies are inside crafting, cooking, and being creative.
Here are some pictures of the results.....

My hubby made his bed. It was exactly what I wanted. So I can put a tent under his bed. We did have a tent to go on top of the bed but after we put it on, we realized his bed would never be made, it got hot inside there and I couldn't really see him when I went in to tell him goodnight. So we changed that.

The curtain rod is a stick that I sent my husband out searching for. I told him what is was for and away he went. It was even better than I had asked for.
I love the character the extra branch on top gives.
It was the perfect stick for a curtain rod.
The little trees were from my Christmas decor.
The ice chest is not just for decor. I use it to hold his Lego's, and yes, it's full.
He loves them. It was the perfect storage for them all. It has a lid and it's on wheels so he can roll them out to play wherever he wants.
The little logs under the chair is actually a lap table, he can use in his chair or inside his tent, to read or write.
The light in the window sill, actually works. It holds a night light bulb.

This is inside of his tent. Guess what? He has only slept in his bed a couple times. Originally, the tent was meant for him to just hang out in there to read, play a game, pretend or whatever, but he decided he wanted to sleep in there.
Him and Brooklin had a camp out in there the first night. They loved it. They even did flashlight animals on the tent wall with their hands.
The little square pillows were exactly what I wanted to have as extras in there.

My hubby made the little oars shelf. It was also something I had planned for months. He is an awesome woodworker. He does very clean work and always knows how to make it great quality. I have never been disappointed in his work.
I will need to take some pictures of some other things he has made for our home. I always have these big, bright ideas and he makes them for me.
He did such a great job on this. I really love it.
The pine cones are an inexpensive bag from Michael's.

My husband didn't make this shelf but he was going to make me a second one. Then we decided we didn't need one. The log and bottles is a target shooting toy.
The deer horns are from a deer my husband shot while hunting a couple years ago. It was the perfect addition to this room. There's another one on the other wall above the bathroom door, he shot that one another year of hunting.

His little dresser with a cute lamp and a bear with some pine cones.
The little pine cone tree on the floor, I found at Home Goods forever ago. Love that place. I don't go there too often cause I get in trouble finding too much.

We didn't let Kameron go in the room at all while the transformation was taking place.
Finally, when we let him in, he was so surprised and very happy that he switched rooms with his little sister. He is very happy in this room and loves his decor.
He says it's was worth the wait.
One last thing, Thanks to my mom for implementing all my plans for this room.
I might add, I was in the stage of my pregnancy that I was at the end, and very cranky.
I had the thoughts on what I wanted and I thought she was going to throw me out the window. My Aunt Betty was here visiting as well during that time. So she kept us both straight and safe from the other one. haha!! Just kidding. Well, almost!
Thanks again Mom for your help with this project.
I love you and appreciate the gift you have given me as your daughter, however, sometimes I think you created a monster!
I love you!! I have the best mom in the world!!
xoxoxo
ps..Now that the rooms are done and I am back to my pre-pregnancy state of niceness come back to stay with us for a month or so. :)))

I will be posting pictures of the girls room soon.
That was the next one that I had plans for and my poor mom.
However, it turned out great and exactly how I pictured it.

This is a long post and I didn't mean to.
Thanks for stopping by. Share your thoughts. I would love to read your comments.

Til next Time with T!!
