Carson's "Big Boy" Room Revealed

We finally put together Carson's "Big Boy Room" this weekend!!! I don't know who was more excited, me or Carson. But if I had to bet, it was me!!! I think it turned out fantastic! We still have a few finishing touches to add - something to put on the wall above his dresser (I am thinking a panoramic photo of Florida Field!!!) and maybe a rug near his bed.

I was hoping to do a big reveal like on Christmas morning, but we just couldn't keep Carson out of his room. He was so excited!!!

Carson loves to read on his new baseball beanbag. Actually, its not new at all! This was Brian's when he was a boy :-)

Here is a before picture of the end table that I got at a consignment store.

Here is a close up of the end table. I painted it and put the basketball knob on it. And of course there is my little guy hamming it up for the camera.

Here is where I think I will put a great panoramic pic of Florida Field. What do you think??

Here is a before pic of the dresser. I bought this dresser and a changing table (not seen) for $40 total off of Craig's List! I was so proud of my deal!

I just loved the sports ball knobs I found online.

I decided to put a cork board up in his room since Carson comes home with a stack of art work each week from school. My refrigerator is covered! I know he will love to show it off once I get it hung up in his room.

These are my two favorite additions to his room. Check out my husband's handy work on the headboard! I looked all over for a headboard on Craig's List and consignment stores but couldn't find what I was looking for. So I decided to design one and Brian built it! I think it looks fantastic! And my other favorite addition is his name above the bed. I loved the way they turned out and it only cost me about $15 to make them :-)

Carson did so well last night is his transition to his "Big Boy Room". After his bath I gave him the choice of where he wanted to sleep and it was not a hard decision. When we went downstairs to say Night, Night to Daddy he announced so proudly that he was going to bed in his big boy room. After our routine of two night time stories and two night, night songs he shed a couple of tears and then he was asleep!!

Now on to decorating the nursery...yeah!!!
