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!
In the photos, the pictures look like they’re hung pretty high, but I assure you they are just below my eye level.
MY LATEST VIDEOS
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:

Hi! I’m Kristin, the creative mind behind Yellow Bliss Road where you will be inspired by tons of easy to follow recipes, lots of free printables, and a little sprinkling of life thrown in for good measure.
The room looks amazing!! So cute and I love the industrial vibe that it has! My favorite thing is the little reading corner and the pictures of Cooper enjoying it are adorable!
I love it! Especially the dresser and headboard. It’s great that you could mix the two themes so well, really awesome!
I Love it! You did a wonderful job – all the small touches add up to an amazing Star Wars room your son will enjoy for many years! I’m sure he can’t wait to show it off to his friends!
This turned out so cute! Love the artwork, especially his very on Darth Vader image!
Just amazing how you transformed his room, the picture of him reading is adorable! Great job!
It looks amazing Kristin! You did an awesome job with everything. I’m not a fan of an overly themed character room and you did it perfectly with the Star Wars accents. It will transition to a bigger boy room nicely in a few years. Love it! =)

Love it, every little thing! So fun, I’m in the middle of doing my daughter’s room – kids rooms are so fun to decorate 🙂
Such a fun room!! I love the Darth Vadar picture of Cooper and the Children at play sign!
Love it, Kristin! That headboard is gorgeous! Very tasteful!
Beautiful rustic industrial makeover!!! He looks perfect in his own element. Can I dress Gracie up as Princess Leah and bring her over to play? Such wonderful attention to detail great post Kristin!!

You always do such a great job, Kristin! It’s the perfect mix of incorporating his interests into a beautiful retreat! Love it! I’m including a link over in this week’s DIY highlights! 😉 Thanks for sharing your creativity and awesome decorating talent!
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.

Great room. I love how simple yet cool it looks. He is one lucky kid.
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
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!
Here from the insprired room. What a great looking, classy Star Wars theme. I almost think my teenager would love it. 😉 Great job!
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.
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,

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.
