Luke’s Space

Luke’s Space

I finally got to all those little details that finish it all in Luke’s room and so now I call it. Done! So here you go, the full tour.

Lukes Room 2

Walking straight into his room you see his bed and looking over to the right is his desk and comfy chair.

I made some Pin Boards with IKEA frames and a roll of cork. They may not be the greatest idea considering they are right above his bed and he boycotts naps like a pro. But they are a great place to hang up drawings, cards, little mementos, and photos. The Be Strong canvas is from Hobby Lobby, the Orange Book print is from A Vintage Poster, and the tree picture is a vintage paint by number in a floating frame.  All the Frames in his room are from Target or IKEA.

Lukes Room 14

Above his bed I hung a Lion print by Sharon Montrose, The Be Awesome Print is from Lucius Art, and the L is from Anthropologie. The Bug Pillow on his bed is from IKEA, and the Raccoon Pillow is one I made, you can find others in my etsy shop.  He has a shelf full of animals in his closet that make the regular rotation on his bed. Right now it’s Norah’s Bolt and his ambulance ride bear from when he broke his leg this summer. His duvet is from The land of Nod, we love it there and have several sheet sets from there hidden beneath the duvet. This one, this one, oh and a lego one too.

Lukes Room 30_edited-2The Valance is probably the newest edition. I had wide Grey and White Horizontal Striped panels over his roman shade up until a couple months ago. Being right next to his bed he seemed to pull on them to much and a curtain rod bracket got pulled off the wall. So a Valance was the answer since the light control was taken care of by the woven roman shade from Home Depot. I made a wood mounted Box Pleated valance out of a Nate Berkus fabric I had stashed from Joann’s. I lined it in a white and green stripe (a thrifted duvet cover) for a little hidden detail.  Normally I would never line window treatments in anything but white or ivory since they are seen from the outside, but this one hangs just a bit below the trim and is 99% of the time covered by the shade. So I went for it.

His desk is a remake of his shelves in his old room at the old house.  I basically used the shelves as is and raised them to add a desk underneath. It’s a shorter than normal desk I think about 27″ tall, 30″ is normal, but it works perfectly for him and I can change it as he grows. These are such a great versatile and pretty inexpensive shelf/desk to make. We love them. You can find loads of tutorials on pinterest if you want to tackle some.  We but some keepsake and vintage decor on his top shelves and lego creations hang out over the bottom. The short stool is from Hobby Lobby. It’s a chair height stool.  The various lego heads and boxes have all been thrifted! Crazy right?

Lukes Room 18

I found the wood helicopter at a thrift store. Luke is a helicopter fanatic so it was a must. The little L block is one of the coolest baby gifts we got for him, someone had it made with all his birth stats on the sides. The blue vase thing is actually a lamp from Homegoods and is just for looks as I never plug it in.

Lukes Room 17I found the Green mail box at a thrift store, the 4 is from a vintage market, the school bus was my grandpas, the tree is from Michael’s unfinished wood section, and the artwork is by Luke.

Lukes Room 19

He has a jar of rocks and shells he finds when we travel, some artwork, a wooden excavator he and daddy made together, a legoman flashlight, and a truck nightlight (target) on another shelf.

Lukes Room 21Under his desk we have a big basket full of little bins of legos sorted by color, which seems to work really well for him.  Between his desk and comfy Chair I have a green bin from IKEA (Super great bins by the way from IKEA $5) filled with his current reading material.

On the wall above his chair, which I thrifted and slipcovered, I hung a recent addition. Star Wars Legoman prints I found on Pinterest , they are a free download from Over the big moon and Luke loves them. I picked up clearance frames at target to hang them in and boom a wall filled that was practically empty before. Add the Metal L made from old signs I got at a Vintage Market and it’s perfect.  I made the little pillow on the chair from this awesome print by SaltyOat.

I thought I would show you the inside of his closet since it is multi purpose. We had a tall dresser in his room for awhile, but when finishing the desk and shelves I couldn’t get them in the room and have the dresser too. Since his closet was pretty empty still I bought a bunch of plastic bins and put all his clothes in there. It is working super great so far.  We’ve got a shelf full of softies, toy bins on the bottom, the shelf above his hanging clothes has older kid books, his bank, a bin full of school stuff, he has extra blankets and pillows, out of season clothes, and all the lego boxes he loves to save on higher shelves. A laundry basket for dirty clothes completes the closet nicely. He can reach everything he needs and can see and ask for (hopefully instead of climb) for anything he can’t.

Lukes Room 24Last on the room tour I recycled his train table into a lego board to roll under his bed. We hadn’t used his train table since we moved. You can see the train table original post here. But to transform it, I removed all the train tracks, filled holes, added a trim piece around the edge so there would be a little lip and legos wouldn’t slip off, I painted it all grey, and lastly added wheels.  It rolls under his bed easily at night so his room looks clean. It also gives his legos a landing spot so they aren’t all over the floor and a pain to pick up all the time. I highly recommend the under the bed storage method.  I cut some thin wood into 14″ lengths and painted them black so he can make roads on it. Someday we will add a dotted line to the roads.

Lukes room 27

We have an old green wooden tool chest under the window that he can lock his treasures into, and a Lego Police Crest I made for his last birthday hanging on the wall next to it.  His bed is from The Land of Nod,(we love our local The Land of Nod the staff is stellar) and his rug is from the Crate and barrel Outlet from way back when I was pregnant with the boy.  The Paint Color is Velvet Sofa by Behr , Luke picked it himself. The ceiling is basic flat white ceiling paint.

Lukes Room 1

So that’s it! I think I over share sometimes. :) A lot of his room is from His room at the Old house. Fun story, Luke’s room is the only room that got painted before we moved to the new house, we had a 3 day window between closing and our moving date. I wanted to make sure it was ready for him and having him help pick the color made the transition to a new room more fun for him.

Please tell me what you think! You know old school comment style.  I’m working on those final details in Norah’s room so I will share with you all shortly.

Thanks for stopping by!

  1. oh my goodness…i love everything about this. it is such a great room. perfect for a little guy but its a big boy room all at the same time. i need you to come and do all my kids bedrooms. i can never figure out the balance of function and style. especially style that is fitting for their age or something they can grown into. i may have to copy some of your amazing ideas for Mitchell’s room. i love it all

    1. Awe, Thanks Leslie! Copy away. :) Decorating kids rooms is one of my most favorites since it’s so whimsical and fun. I would be happy to help you if you want some ideas. Seriously though just let me know. :)

      1. Tiru mcm Celcom elok juga.. bila tak bayar bil broadband dia block, tapi bila dah bayar automatik sambung semula tanpa caj penyambungan.. Bukan kene panjat tiang pun bila nak sambung semula.. computer yg control.. org astro cakap nak educate pelanggan.. bnyk lg cara lain nk ajar pelanggan.. sy puji cara celcom tangani masalah lewat bayar "penyambungan tanpa caj" .. klu nak educate block je la x pyh nk caj tambahan.
