Benjamin's "New" Room

We've been in the midst of a little "Trading Spaces" around here … with Baby Brother's arrival now only weeks away, we've been working on moving all the "baby" decorations from Benjamin's room to the nursery, and revamping Benjamin's room with a "truck" theme.

Here's a quick peek at his room before … and his tiny little chubby self last summer!  Where did my little baby go???

I've been waiting to take pictures until Benjamin's room was "completed" or "perfect" but I've decided that's never going to happen … I wish I could find the perfect picture frame for the shelf or a basket for the dresser.  And I wish I could get him to leave all his toys in the bins for just five minutes while I snap some pictures, but ya know what?  This is real life here!  So, without further delay, we present …

Benjamin's New Truck Room!

"Knock, knock … can we come in and see your room, Buddy?"

"You have to pass the mighty tool test first!"

(Notice the rug behind him … city streets, buildings, even a police car and a helicopter!)

I made these pictures from pages of one his favorite books, Trucks GO!

Here's a close-up … I'm really proud of how they turned out!

Street and car decals over his crib, bright polka-dot sheets, 

and the crib skirt I successfully fashioned from a tablecloth!

Changing Table has been refitted with brightly colored bins to hold all his toys, 

with a new shelf above and a few more decals to the sides.

(Really need to spiff up that shelf a little, but again, real life! :)

And that's about it!  Baby Brother's room is coming along slowly but surely, so hopefully we'll have pictures of it ready soon!
