One room I have not touched so far is Henry’s room. As I had JUST finished his gorgeous room in our old home, and all his furniture works in his new room, I put it on hold while we figured some other things out. It’s an adorable room for a kid- with one big deep window seat perfect for reading and a second smaller one, built in bookshelfs all around the room and a really cozy feel.
The only thing we changed was adding in recessed lighting in here (the ceilings are low so no flushmount fixtures)- not shown in this pic. We also refinished the floors to match the rest of the house – a slightly deeper, cooler brown.
Henry’s room at our old house- GOD I love this room. We’re keeping everything shown here except the wallpaper (*cue sobbing)
I brought some samples home and Henry was drawn to the “red crazy stripes” as he put it. I do think it’s super cute, and since this room is quite a bit darker than his old room, it’ll brighten it up. Sadly, his commissioned painting won’t fit above his dresser in this room so I need to find a spot for it in the hall outside his room or in the playroom. I’ll probably put a mirror above his dresser in the new room- maybe this one?
Here’s a little board with links:
DAYBED // CAR ART // NIGHTSTANDS // SWING ARM SCONCES // RUG (SIMILAR) // WALLPAPER // ROMAN SHADE FABRIC // BEDDING // CHAIR // FLOOR LAMP // FELT BINS // BOOKENDS // ACCENT TABLE
I am starting to order for the other rooms in the house and will share those boards soon too!

Do you think overhead lighting is always necessary? I have a 1960 home. It does not have overhead lighting in any of the bedrooms. I have heard that designers do not like to add recessed lights because they look like “swiss cheese” in the ceiling! Do you agree?
Hi!! love both the rooms!! can I ask where the wallpaper in his old room is from?
My question, too! And my name is also Meg :)
Found it thanks to the commenter after us. Sadly, it is no longer being made.
DONGHIA/ HINSON BIG TRIXIE VINYL GRASSCLOTH IN NAVY
Lucky kid! Setting the bar high for future life.
Beautiful design- the red will be so cool for him as he grows!! I also loved the previous design, so much so that I tried to track down that Hinson paper last spring and was so sad to hear they had gone out of business. Cant wait to see the finished new room!
WOW! I just love his former room. The new one is missing some character. I am looking forward to seeing the progress.
Hi – I’m just so impressed that you can decorate so many rooms so quickly with a business, two small children and a marriage! Can you share the source on the dresser?
I loved his old room! But it sounds to me, because he had some say in the newer room, that he might love it a little more. What a lucky boy to have such a cool space to grow into…
Love this room! It will grow well with him. I have that wallpaper (in navy) in my 8 year-old son’s bathroom:)
That dresser is gorgeous! Do you have a source for that?
I’m in awe of your seemingless endless renovation budget. So jealous.
What color is his new room? I’m looking for a calm master bedroom color.
All of it is so great! Would you mind sharing the day bed fabric source?
