And today is a painting day....

One of the projects I am working on is changing the boys' bedrooms up to give them a little more space and reflect their ages.  Nine year old and eleven year old boys have different likes in colour than three to five year olds!

And their needs are different as they get older: dedicated work space for computers and projects and homework.  And larger storage for all their sporting equipment.

So today is a painting day - I am taking a previously red 'little boys' bedside table and a previously white bed, and turning them into matching grey bedroom furniture.  

We are channelling these teen boys' room that we found on the Restoration Hardware website.  Restoration Hardware does not ship to Australia as yet, so I'm giving it a go to recreate this look.  

What do you think?  Something you like for a boy's bedroom?

I'll let you know how we go over the coming weeks and show you the complete befores and afters!
