Check Finn's room out! It is now painted a blue Benjamin Moore color called "Fiji". It was inspired by this bedroom found on the Pottery Barn Teen website:
Just before New Year's day a crew of painters started painting the interior of our house and a lot of quick color decisions had to be made.
We had to choose wall, ceiling and trim paint. For most of the house we decided to stay with shades of white to keep a nice, neutral and bright palette throughout. All of our paint is from Benjamin Moore, the walls are Oxford White and the trim and ceiling Super White. The blue chip above was for Finn's bedroom and the greens below for a feature wall in the mini office aka Mr. Bamboo and Finn's man cave. Here are some of the "afters":
Now heading into the closet and bathroom, we kept the entrance door wall, closet and bathroom walls white.
Finn's bathroom is really small so keeping the walls white and using white subway tiles in the tub area will help it seem bigger plus...
These multicolored glass mosaic tiles will be the colorful feature!
We used these tiles on the built in shower ledge, around the window frame and on the floor.
Sorry for the poor quality of this pic which was taken with my iphone right after the tiles were installed on the floor. As soon as it was finished, the floor was covered up for protection and we have not see it since! We used Hakatai tiles again like we did in the studio but a different color mix. While we were ordering the tiles for Finn's bathroom, we decided to order the all blue mix for the laundry closet floor.
Back to Finn's room, here are a few pics of items we have purchased for it over the past year. Decorating his room is incredibly exciting for me since he has never had his own and I wasn't able to go crazy with nursery style decor back in the day.
His new comforter is from Pottery Barn Kids.
Industrial Style metal letters above and crab pillow below from
Restoration Hardware.
Metal light sconce from Lowes.
Moen single lever tub and shower set.
Lillangen sink cabinet from Ikea.
and the Lillangen Mirror with shelves.
We pretty much have everything we need for Finn's bedroom and bathroom. Finally we can check one room off our huge project list!
Lastly, a few pics of the lime green man cave/office wall.
We love it!!
Finn rocking out on New Year's Eve with his cool RockShow music and lights machine thanks to his awesome Chicago cousins!
Also notice his fun super hero cape turned frontside, a very special xmas gift from his bestie Brixton!
It was quite the New Year's Eve celebration for us!
Happy 2012!
