Seth's new bedroom is finally complete! I have to say I think it is my most favorite room in the whole house. Here's the new big boy bedroom:
The headboard was found by my mom at a Consignment store for $10.00. The
bedding and planet mobile (which is no longer available) came from Pottery Barn Kids. The bedding in my opinion was pricey, but hopefully since it is high quality and not babyish it will last for a long time. The light blue sheets, navy bedskirt, and navy curtains came from Target.
On one side of the bedroom, Seth has a new craft area. The table came from
Essex and was actually a console table that we cut down. After some bargaining we were able to get the table half off for only $34.99. I love that it is not a typical children's craft table.
We can raise the leaves and it becomes longer for more work space.
The
chairs came from IKEA for $12.99 a piece.
Above the table is a bulletin board that I had in every one of my classrooms. I always painted the cork every year and added a different ribbon to the edge. It is such an easy way to add a pop of color to a space. We have been putting all of our crafts from Toddler Time at the library on it with gigantic sized thumb tacks that I found at the dollar store.
Right below the bulletin board (and high enough that Seth cannot easily reach these) are four metal buckets full of all WASHABLE art supplies. The buckets came from the Target dollar bin and they are hung using Command hooks. The buckets hold washable watercolors, paintbrushes, crayons, preschool scissors, and washable glue.
Sitting on the craft table is a
craft paper roll and
holder from IKEA. The foam puzzle originally came from Pottery Barn Kids but I bought it still in the unopened package for a dollar at a local consignment sale.
On the smallest wall in the room is the bookshelf from the nursery. It holds the fish tank, a lamp, clock, and picture of Seth's 3-D ultrasound. Above the bookshelf is one of my favorite pieces in the room. It is an
alphabet poster that I found on Etsy. I am in love with it!
Next to the closet door is the magnetic dry erase board that used to be hanging in the nursery. We hung it low so that it could be even more functional. If you know me at all, you know that all I love for decor to be functional. Next to the magnetic board is a basket that holds some blocks and a few small toys.
Above one of the doorways, I sat some chipboard letters that spelled out Seth's name. I modge podged them with coordinating paper for fun and instantly Seth loved pointing to his name.
So here's a look at the entire room

It's been super fun to decorate Seth's new room.
I hope he enjoys his big boy bedroom for many years to come!
We kept two croissant triangles together to form a rectangle. Then we put the marshmallow inside. The marshmallow is supposed to represent Christ wrapped in linens.
Next we sprinkled some cinnamon on top for extra sweetness, but to also represent the spices/oils that were put on Jesus.
Then we rolled the marshmallow up which symbolized Jesus being put in the tomb. 
Here were the rolls before they were baked.
Then the amazing thing that happens is the marshmallow melts but the croissant keeps its shape, so it becomes the empty tomb. When you cut into it...
you can see that HE has risen!!! Happy Resurrection Day!!!
