I guess this is the week of kids bedrooms. In my Monday’s post (click HERE if you missed it) you got to see an adorable nursery and today I’m showing some small changes I have made to my son’s room. I still want to change some more things though. He has simply outgrown the way his room looked with all the Mario Brother’s characters in it. At 12 years old he is obsessed with soccer now and that’s why I’m trying to give him a boys room with hints of soccer.
Here are just a few updated photos and if you click HERE then you can see the before with the decals in it. I’m still looking for a new light since the old Ikea one is way too “babyish” 😉
I still love love love his French antique bed that I bought at an estate sale in France when I was 16 years old. I already loved this stuff as a teenager and it helped of course that I had a boyfriend who’s mom was an antiques dealer. Ah the good ol’ days. I had the foam mattress custom made.
Now I’m looking to possibly add a modern fixture yet. It’s still a work in progress. Lets see. I’m also trying to come up with some ideas for our bathrooms yet.
I think on Monday I will finally have a post about all my paint colors I use in the house. So stay tuned to find out about these greys as well.
Tschüß

January 14, 2015 at 10:48 amWow–that bed is amazing! It’s a little sad when they outgrow their younger kid rooms….but at least you have an excuse to redecorate :). I love doing kid rooms
Julia says
January 15, 2015 at 6:24 amYes that is sad, gets me every time. They are fun to decorate but not when they are messy all the time and he is quite messy 😉

Amber @ Wills Casa says
January 14, 2015 at 3:15 pmThat bed is incredible!! I’m so impressed that you got it when you were 16 and still have it!! Especially since you had to bring it to the states! You never cease to amaze me!
Julia says
January 15, 2015 at 6:23 amI had it shipped over here in a container with just a few of my other favorite things. I’ve always loved it. Some things are just timeless and this definitely fits that timeless category. I’m afraid our son won’t fit into it for that long though because it is a very short bed 🙁

January 14, 2015 at 7:29 pmLove the room and the bed! I have a very similar bed sitting in our garage! I was hoping to use it for one of the boys one day, but it doesn’t fit in their room now that they’re sharing. Maybe I’ll still find a place for it. 🙂
Julia says
January 15, 2015 at 6:27 amI’ve seen them used as daybed sofas in living rooms and loved that too. Nice place to hang out and read a book or take a nap 😉

Julia says
January 16, 2015 at 1:02 pmI wouldn’t say that 😉 but I was always interested in this kind of stuff 😉 but thanks
Shavonda says
January 16, 2015 at 3:30 pmCant believe you got that bed when you were 16! Its so gorgeous!
Julia says
January 19, 2015 at 4:47 pmYou should have seen the homes and antiques in Brittany, France. The estate sales were amazing!!!! And it’s always been in my blood I guess 😉
Krista @ the happy housie says

Lisa @ Shine Your Light says
February 15, 2015 at 9:38 amJulia that bed is AMAZING!!!! I can’t believe you bought it when you were 16 – so impressive! You had an eye for design at a very early age. I also love how you paired the antique with the more modern grey striped walls, such a great contrast.
Julia says
February 16, 2015 at 6:19 amThank you Lisa! I was always interested in this kind of stuff 😉
