home : sprucing up the boy's room

our boy's room has pretty-much looked the same as the day he moved in, 2+ years ago. with a mild blue and green palette and a hint of sea life all around, it was a lovely place. now that my babe is becoming a boy, i feel the need for some bolder colors. maybe my little guy was telling me something when he accidentally knocked down his lamp and tore the shade.

after a loong nap (thank you sweet boy for allowing your mama to unpack!) i coerced stu into getting the ladder and helping me hang up the nautical flags from our boy's first "cracker jack" sailor birthday.

the change was inspiring. so i hit the worlds most amazing non-existent place.
etsy, i love you, your wonders can rob hours from my day!

check out what i found. i haven't ordered anything yet. i always need to think things over for a while. hopefully what i want is still available when i finally pull the trigger :

or

both from bexpert for $20 unframed, i love the quirky wording.

from my sparow $89

she lives in paris and also makes this for $39
(shouldn't mama get a little something for all her hard work?)

vinyl wall sticker from circle line studio for $36

created by black baroque for $10 unframed

now, in all honesty, my little guy is less into boats than he is into rockets, planes, guitars, pianos, and any power tool. but hey, i love all things stripey and nauti, so while i still get to pick, i'm going with what i like.

how say ye?
