One Room Challenge: Week Six

If you’re just joining us for the first time this week, we’ve been redecorating a bedroom for our sons as part of the One Room Challenge hosted by Linda at Calling It Home. Twice a year, Linda challenges bloggers to tackle a room and give it a makeover. Throughout the six week challenge, the bloggers post weekly updates giving progress reports, sharing ideas and providing tips for others to follow along in their journeys. This spring, there have been over 200 bloggers participating in the One Room Challenge. When you’re done checking out our outer space boys bedroom reveal, you ought to sprint right over to Calling It Home and see all the other amazing home changes bloggers have made this spring.

Before we get to the BIG reveal, let’s take a quick look back on where this project started. Prior to the One Room Challenge, our boys had two separate bedrooms. Our five and a half year old had a Curious George themed bedroom and his three year old brother slept in a crib in the nursery across the hall. They get along great and were begging us to share one big boy bedroom, so we decided to go for it!

Here’s the process we followed to transform the room from a Curious George motif to create an outer space boys bedroom:

  1. We shared our before photos and plans.
  2. We got inspired by NASA posters we found online for free.
  3. We created a galactic change by painting the walls an outer space gray color.
  4. We painted a mural with a rocket and planets on the walls. 
  5. We replaced the crib with a big boy bed, found bedding for both boys along with a lamp and other items to decorate the room and organized their closet.
  6. We assembled the entire outer space boys bedroom and are ready to reveal it!

Outer Space Boys Bedroom Reveal

I don’t know about you, but when I see room reveals, I always like to see the before photos along side the after photos. It really shows just how much was changed and you get a better perspective on the look and the feel of the new space. With that in mind, here’s what you used to see when you walked in the bedroom door:

This room was transformed from a Curious George theme to an outer space boys bedroom fit for two. Check out all the home decor and other details in this bedroom that's out of this world!

Now for the big reveal in 10… 9… 8… 7… 6… 5… 4… 3… 2… 1….  BLAST OFF!

Here’s what you see now:

Your kids will be over the moon with an outer space boys bedroom. Check out the home decor, decorative wall mural and other details in this room reveal including a few NASA and Star Wars ideas. The whole room is out of this world!

Once you step into the room, all eyes immediately gravitate to the real star of the outer space boys bedroom — the large oversized rocket above my son’s bed! (See how we created it here.)

    I like how all the elements come together for this space bedroom! Good thing you went with the themed sheets and kept the comforters more neutral, what way it’s easier to change up the style in the future (and you’ve managed to include a lot of puns and space humour in your post too… so clever!).

      Thanks, Nicole! We definitely wanted to make sure the “space” could grow with the boys for the next several years when we picked out the bedding.

    The murals are awesome! I’m sure the boys are head-over-heels ecstatic over their new room! I know the feeling, since I just did my sons room too, space-age sorta as well, but my boy is older. Congrats and CHEERS to us for another room done!

    This room looks SO amazing Carrie!!! Love that lamp you found. Glad to hear the boys are doing so well sleeping together in the same room. My boys have tossed around the idea of being together as well, but I fear they’d never get any sleep. My younger would totally be the one that would be waking my older to go watch TV at 3:30 in the morning. Love it!

      Right now, we’re thankful that the older one typically sleeps like a brick and doesn’t let his younger brother’s shenanigans keep him up. We DID have to threaten to move the little guy out of the room this week though if he keeps it up. He promises he’ll try to be better. Three year olds!
