Industrial Chic Bedroom Reveal

Hey friends! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!! Mine was spent redoing my son Anderson's room while he was staying with my parents. If you missed my post last week, I shared that he will be turning four in October so I was thinking it was about time to give him a big boy room. I have been slowly collecting things for his room for about a year and I seriously love how it all came together!!!!

To refresh your memory here are a couple before pictures of Anderson's nursery:

And the after:

I bought this feed sack from Linda at Coastal Charm. She shared pictures of her booth and I immediately spotted this with Anderson's name on it and knew I HAD to have it!! So perfect!! I was so glad she was willing to ship it to me!

One of my favorite parts of the room - the crate gallery wall. There's room to add more! I absolutely love the ammunition crate lid from Naples, Italy sent to Pontiac, MI!

We made another set of barn wood shelves like the ones in my kitchen.

Army foot locker turned toy box

I love this wood box and the typography

Love the green metal cups that came with it too!

I'm excited to see what Anderson will collect to fill this printer tray to replace my brass hose nozzles. I have a feeling it's going to be a lot of rocks and old coins.

So what do you think?

Anderson was SO excited! He said it looked AMAZING!!! :)

I still have plans for window valances. Still brainstorming on how to create them. I will be sure to update when I get them finished!

Details:

Wall color: Homestead Resort Parlor Taupe by Valspar

Bedding: Restoration Hardware

Gray bedding: Walmart

Industrial Chic Big Boy Room Game Plan

Now that our kitchen is finally done, I'd like to turn my attention to my son's room! Anderson will be turning four in October and it's time for him to have a big boy room! This is what his nursery first looked like:

The only changes that have been made so far are replacing the crib with an actual bed and we sold the glider. Everything else looks pretty much the same.

I thought I would share my game plan for his room here to give me some motivation to get it done soon because you'll be expecting a reveal, right?!? ;)

Anyways, here's my plan:

I'm definitely going with an industrial chic vibe!

Anderson's bed is a Jenny Lind bed kind of like this.

The style of his is different, but the finish is the same.

I bought this Belgian linen bedding from Restoration Hardware

And I have been buying things as I see them:

Like this rolling tool box for his nightstand

And this army footlocker to use as a toy box

The only area where I can't make up my mind is choosing a paint color! I plan to keep all the trim and beadboard white and the bed will remain unpainted to bring in some wood tones.

These are the colors I'm contemplating:

(This perfect mix of taupe, gray and cream is the one I'm leaning toward the most)

But I was also thinking maybe a light gray

The last choice is called Whispering Wheat by Glidden. It's the one on the left.

It's actually much lighter than shown below.

Feel free to cast your votes for a paint color. What do you think would look best with white, wood, linen and metal?

I do have some elements purchased and planned that I will keep secret until the reveal! ;) I hope to get started this week on Anderson's room! In the meantime, here are some pictures I have pinned for inspiration!!

New Writing Desk

Do you remember the living room desk area I put together a few months ago? Well, I've already made some changes! I found the perfect farmhouse looking writing desk at a cute little antique store that I couldn't resist.

Here was the old desk which now resides in my craft room:
