Joseph's Room

I have finally made some progress on Joseph's bedroom.  I am only about halfway done with his room but I thought I would let yall get a sneak peek.  I found a sailboat fabric I loved and so that is where I started.  I then found coordinating fabrics and trim... here they are :)


I then decided I wanted to paint a stripe around his room so I pick up on the colors in the sailboat fabric. 
I did a wide blue stripe and thought the contrast between the wall color and the stripe was too much so I found a darker beige I happened to have a painted a smaller stripe above and below the large stripe.  Here is where I taped off the large stripe.  You can also see what the room looked like before.  


I also recovered the headboard in the blue stripe fabric.  


We still need to actually hand the headboard.  I also want to paint the side tables and get new lamps.  I am going to keep the white bedding.  This will one day be his bed.  


I am also going to make a few pillows for his bed using the sailboat fabric and the red stripe fabric.  
I just finished sewing the window treatments for his room.  I now have to get a wooden rod to place about the window and hang them.  They are right now stuck up with push pins.  


I love the trim I put on them.  You cant really see here.  I will post better pics later when I actually get them hung up.  I also need to work on staining a wooden dresser for his room.
