When small rooms go big

This was the title my son ‘jokingly’ came up with. 

These were photos of the first unit I thought we were going to get.  When we were delivered the unit we have now, there were no windows.  We were bummed a bit, but moved on quickly.  Max still loved his loft.

He grew quickly, and in a year, he could barely sit in the center without stooping.  We had planned on raising the roof from the beginning……it just took longer than planned.  Asi es la vida.

So, without further ado, here it is.

We plan on painting gray, wide, horizontal stripes on the walls.  His idea, I like it.    He went with gray and red, rather than the orange and gray that I wanted.  It is his room

This is a beauty.  It is also the finest stick of furniture in my home : )  It is permanently entombed in the second story.  I wish I had gotten photos of us lifting it into place before the walls were sealed up.  Cool.

These photos are overexposed, but you can see how BRIGHT his room is now. 

We have some awesome fabric coming, a Primere Prints, gray and white chevron pattern.  My idea, he doesn’t care.  Sweet boy.

And this…..this is not for the faint of heart.  It is what makes me a cool mom……I think…..???  He LOVES his ladder up to his room.  I have a new design in mind, one a bit more mom friendly.  Next months project.

When I mentioned how happy I was that he had a REAL ROOM finally, he corrected me.  “NO, I have an upgrade, I already had a cool room”.  I love this kid.

 

We live in an awesome house.
