Jeff's Room is Finished!

As promised from the last post,

here are the photos of

Jeff's room.

First, you should know that 

over time

his room became a . . . ahem . . . 

"gathering place" for objects that

we didn't know what to do with.

So-o-o it hurts, but I'm going to

show you the before . . .

And here's the after . . .

It takes up more room, 
but I love to "corner" a twin bed.
It looks so much more creative.

Finding something stylish for a
young man's bedroom is tricky!
I just love these linens 
& window treatments 
from Ikea.
(As you can see the bed is a hit
with our dog, "Sam" too!)

The "bus roll" in the background is 
filled with the names of places
Jeff has lived & visited while
he was away.

I also made this 

"computer keyboard" 

mirror with a few

special hidden messages 

just for Jeff.

(Click here to learn how to make the mirror.)

This cozy chair & the throw
have special significance. 
They are from
the home of Jeff's grandma
who recently passed away.

I'm hoping it will remind him of all

the happy memories with her in her home.

I enlarged some of the

photos Jeff took in England

& framed them.

They hang above his

desk to as another

happy souvenir of

his travels.

 

Since he will be back to college

again soon, I tried to include 

grown-up things he can take

with him if he wants.

Hope he likes it!
