We finally finished my son’s bedroom this weekend, and I’m so excited to share it with you!!
The room is small so we have to be creative with the space. Oh, and please ignore the hideous carpet!
The above photo was taken last fall when Coop was Darth Vader for Halloween. I edited out the background and placed him on a plain, super light gray background and added the text.
He loves having his own spot to read.
But he doesn’t like to be bothered.
For fun, here’s what the room looked like before:
And one more time for the NOW:

I love this! Totally using some of your ideas! I couldn’t see it but maybe I missed it.. Did you put where you got the Lego storage?
I believe it was from Toys R Us. Not sure as it was several years ago.
Hi Kristin!
As I was searching for the minwax in weathered grey. The only stain that I could find where named classic grey and weathered oak? I know your post was from a while back, but didn’t know if you could provide me with the correct name of stain. I did find the Behr in wet cement.
Thank you,

AMAZING job! We have the Duvet from Target and Serena and Lily but I’ve ended up liking the Target one better. How do you like the West Elm version? I also love the mix between industrial style and Star Wars. You created just the right mix. Great job.
Here from the insprired room. What a great looking, classy Star Wars theme. I almost think my teenager would love it. 😉 Great job!
This is a great room. My six year old son is jealous. I am impressed with your craftiness and vision. Would you mind sharing your approximate budget for those of us that would like to duplicate something (or at least some elements) like this? Thanks!
Great room! I’ve had my eye on the Children at Play sign forever. I believe the original to be here http://society6.com/dschwen/Children-at-Play-tOf_Print in case anyone else is looking for it
Great room. I love how simple yet cool it looks. He is one lucky kid.
Oh, this is fantastic. I’m in the process of doing something similar for my boy. How inspirational you are. I’m also a single mother of two. A girl 8 and boy 6 and will be following your blog for more inspiration. Just lovely.
