Antique bedroom set bought on Craigslist. Thought about painting it but the wood look speaks masculinity.
What are BOYS really? .........
My favorite piece in the whole room is this antique amoire which I bought at an antique store. No room for it anywhere else in the house but I think it matches perfectly in here!
Love the details!
Beadboard on the amoire.
The reading corner. Old Truck pillow from Pottery Barn. And a good ole TEXAS pillow thrown in the mix (my birth state.)
Mr. Froggy peering over the basket of books.
...the prince is in... sign from Goodwill- 50 cents! I added ribbon, trim and pom poms to add some glam (the little fru fru is for momma!)
Other accessories: Gas light lamp, rug, airplane hat rack- Target. Bowling Pin- Marshall's, Blocks- antique store, jacks- arts and craft show, crocodile leather suitcases- estate auction, Ralph Lauren Pillow, J.C. Penney Bedding bought on ebay for a steal!, Curtains- handmade by (gasp!) me from a heavy cotton and gross grain ribbon, rod J.C. Penney, all vintage art prints- Home Goods, one antique car art print- Goodwill,words on wall by Uppercase Living, stuffed animals from here and there, Barn stars- Home Goods, and wooden stars on amoire- yard sale.

Adorable room! I love the amoire too. It is an amazing piece. Love all the blue and red. Looks classic all boy with charm!
What an adorable little boys room! It's perfect. I'm going to send this link over to my daughter for ideas for her son....once he moves out of their room, of course :)
This room is so perfect for a little boy. I love the teddy sitting against the RL cushion. Must show this to my 9YO son.
Best wishes, Natasha.

What a great room. I love the writing on the wall and the curtains a re lovely. What a lucky little prince!
I love this room! It's the perfect room for a boy. I like how you kept the wood furniture in its natural state. Amazing job!
OMGoodness! I love your son's room. It's adorable and very inspiring! I've been decorating our boys' "vintage theme" room but I'm not finding affordable "vintage" games, airplanes and trains. Do you mind sharing where you found the oversized jacks/other accessories?
Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving BEAUTIFUL words (and following by blog)...I couldn't have said it better myself!

LOVE the room. I am in the process of sprucing up my son's room. I re-painted the furniture. Check out my posting on that: http://hodgepodge-babselou.blogspot.com/search/label/furniture%20facelifts
I LOVE the curtains. I have sewn grosgrain on my daughter's curtains but never thought to do it on my son's. Reminds me of a Hudson's Bay blanket. This room is a definite favourite!
What a wonderful room! I love all the colors and the fact that they're somewhat muted or aged. It's a beautiful space ... great job!
What a great boy's room. I love the bed on an angle and the curtains hung high and beside the window! You made the space above the window so much more interesting with the vinyl lettering. Very nice!

Just love it - especially the definition of boy! The room looks great and still looks like a kid lives there.
Loved what I saw so much I became a follower! Thanks for doing the same for me.

It is a cute as can be!!! Love all of it, great job. THE JACKS ARE SO DANG CUTE TOO!
Love your son's room! I'm a big fan of vintage and I love how you were able to work in the vintage feel and give his room a wonderful sense of whimsey. Just great!!!
I love the room! You have great taste..Your patio pic is my favorite on RMS! So glad I came across your blog!
Thank you so much "Feather Your Nest." A big confession here, the patio at the top of my blog is not mine. My RMS friend kindly let me use it for my blog. I only wish! Someday...
Beautiful room! You did such a good job on a boy's room which was always so tough for me.
The room looks amazing. Every detail ties together... it's so cute!
You totally made me laugh with your wall words. Stop by my blog today to see how I can relate. :)
Very cute room! Always looking for cute boys rooms.
I also love the picture on your header. Beautiful front porch.
Here from Daielle's home tour - I have always loved that definiton of boys, and i love that you put it up on the wall! So cute!
I must have those wall words. Love them!
Hi. I just stopped over from Transforming Home and wanted to say hello. I don't have any boys, but if I did I would decorate their rooms like this. So sweet.
Hi, over from Transforming Home and just wanted to say thank you for bringing back memories! When our boys were little they had a room similar to this. We still have the same propeller w/ hooks, the city gas vinyl wall "stickers", and switch plates but are no longer used. The armoire is simply gorgeous!
I am so glad you posted this room! I am in the midst of putting together my twins' big boy room - this has given me lots of ideas! Great space!
Thanks so much for linking up!

ooo this is cute! well done!
What an adorable room...love the pillow and the wall words!!~
I love vintage themes! You did an amazing job on this. I love all the old photos! Thanks for sharing.
What a great room! Love all the vintage details, and the furniture is PERFECT!
LOVE your sons room with all the great vintage touches. It looks straight from the pages of a Pottery Barn catalog.
So cute! My little guy's is vintage too and I admire how uncluttered you kept this. Will go explore the rest of your beautiful blog now! :-)
hugs,
Leslie
Looks like you put a lot of thought in the details. What a fun boys room. We have the same gas station light and rug. You've inspired me to go the extra mile and finish my sons vintage room. Kids really enjoy having special things... just as much... if not more :)
Love it!
