There are some projects you dread.

You dread them so much that you put them off for days and days…

then the days turn into months, and sometimes (such as our

Master Bathroom – sigh) the months turns into years.

 

Then, there are projects you can’t wait to start and finish.

For example, consider baking a chocolate cake from scratch.

You know if you measure just right, and lick the leftover cake batter

from the mixer beaters with precision (wait, maybe that’s just me!)

– and if you have patience and bake that cake with perfect timing –

you get to enjoy a very sweet treat at the end.

I call these Chocolate Cake Projects.

You plan every detail on paper.  You order the perfect bedding and

hunt for the perfect sized desk at second-hand stores that you can

paint and add a cute bulletin board over.

You even search the internet for cute little “port-hole” aquariums.

And you hang three of them with a different color Beta Fish in each one

above a cute basket cubby from Lowe’s.

You figure out a way to create easy No-Sew Padded Headboards…

Because you don’t mind this project at all…you buy buttons and ribbon

to add to plain swing-arm lamps…

..and you hardly cuss at all (well, not much anyway) when you burn

the dickens out of your fingers hot glueing the buttons on.

 

And your son only says a few “wirty dords” when Grammy insists the

lamp cording cannot be seen and MUST be installed on the side of

the cabinet.

And you don’t even care when people seeing you jump for joy

in Kmart when you spot the cute little fishing boats at a great price.

And you get even MORE excited when Lowe’s has ONE striped-red

cabana-style curtain on clearance for $9, and you cut off the top

and make it into a valance.  Yep, you get THAT excited.

Planning. Planning.  Planning.

Then, Executing.  

Painting. Cutting. Caulking. More painting. Ironing.

Stapling.  Cleaning.

Finally – your grand plan can be revealed to two very happy little

boys who have Shark sheets and (coming soon!) a Large Wall quote

that will say “Live Every Week Like It’s Shark Week!”

 

Pottery Barn Inspired Boys Bedroom by The Everyday Home

 

And when you see the look on their faces….you are super happy

this is one project you didn’t procrastinate too long on.

And you realize that THESE are the projects that are worth the

effort, and the burned fingers, and the achy backs.

 

Pottery Barn Inspired Boys Bedroom by The Everyday Home

And you remember not so long ago, when you decorated your

son’s room.   And that same son is now 29 years old, and helped

me from Day 1 with executing this design plan…. for HIS son’s room.

 

‘Cause when you see this….

You bet your largest shark tooth it’s worth it.  Every. single. bit.

    Now THAT’S a reveal. Well done. It looks magazine-worthy. You really knocked it out of the park, and it’s evident you put a lot of thought and effort into this project. The color scheme is really fresh and welcoming, too.

    Stopping by from Coastal Charm. I enjoyed this post!

    XOXO,
    Meredith

    What a wonderfully colorful and perfect room you have created for your boys! I love all the special touches, like the fish bowls hanging on the wall. The bedding and curtains are fabulous, too! It all looks so professional and pulled together.

    What a great room! I am in the process of moving our 3 sons around and will be sure to use your ideas! What is the paint color/brand – I love the contrast against the red/white and blue theme.

    Thanks!!,
    Lisa
