Before - Do you still remember his nursery? His grey vintage style Jenny Lind crib was adorable. He slept in it only a couple times as a newborn, maybe lol. We eventually sold it for this gold toddler bed. Slept in this one more than the crib, but never a full night!
It all started with my fiancé telling me one night around midnight, "We should get Roman a bigger bed." Say no more. I immediately searched for beds, not really knowing what style to go with until I came across this beautiful cane headboard. I ordered it right away! If you haven't noticed yet, I'm loving anything with cane right now. I also couldn't be happier with the entire vibe of our dining room with the cane chairs. How many more times can I say cane in this post?
It didn't come with a bed frame. Our original plan was to build one from scratch but I ended up finding this simple wood bed frame from IKEA (Neiden) along with the slats, which saved us a ton of time. I didn't want a basic metal one so this was a great option. We tweaked it by cutting off the top section so the headboard could fit with it. We painted the frame along with the headboard so the finish/color would be the same. It was originally a glossy black which I wasn't the look I was shooting for.
PAINT COLOR
Mortar & Pestle - Sherwin Williams
I wanted to step out of my comfort zone and do something different, so I took a chance on this olive green paint color. So happy I did. It's earthy, moody, soothing and perfect for a boy's room.
IKEA TARVA DRESSER
We gave our son's original dresser to our daughter since it was looking a little too feminine for the style of the room. I imagined having a simple wood dresser. Since this entire project was pretty much spontaneous and unplanned for, I decided to save on cost by buying this basic dresser made out of pine from IKEA. I've seen tons of DIYs with it. Someday I may tweak it but for now, I love the simplicity of the light colored stain paired with the knobs.
For the stain we used the same combination as we did for our herringbone wood doors and our stair railings (reveal for that is next!). *Remember, staining with this mix won't always have the same results on different types of wood. Always do a test spot first!*

D.I.Y. VINTAGE DICTIONARY SUPERHERO ART
I love incorporating things that my kids love while still making them aesthetically pleasing. These prints were quick, easy and inexpensive to make! I found some free vintage dictionary printables on Pinterest and the superhero digital downloads on etsy. All you have to do is print the dictionary first, followed by the superhero on top. I'll link both printables below!
It only costs $14 for the digital superhero prints. You'll buy it and download them, that way you can print them however you need. I adjusted the saturation of the photos to be more muted before printing them over the dictionary pages. This will give it that cool, vintage look!
COMIC BOOK SHELF
Did you notice the little bookshelf? I was browsing through Target and knew it would be so perfect! Obviously, the ikea play kitchen needed a little updating, too. I've been needing to touch it up anyway because of the normal wear and tear from playing. This was the perfect time + it looks so much better black. I added burlap to the oven door and wooden knobs as an extra little detail. Yes, I need to wipe the mirror. Haha
The missing piece that really completed the room was the bedding. I bought so many duvets but they were all wrong for the room. I thought I wanted shades of brown but every single one ended up being the wrong color and so blah. The olive green duvet brought the wall color to life! This entire room is so dang cute now. I know it's going to be a room that he'll be able to grow with.
