Pillows, Pillows and MORE Pillows!

When I peeked at Shannon's entry over at 'Bless Our Nest' the other day and saw her beds filled to the brim with pillows, I knew there was a reason I liked this girl!!! ;) I love pillows, too! Bryce's bed has 8 of those puppies on there! Of course, he's a boy and I could not get away with ones too fluffy or frilly~ they're just plain old normal pillows... 2 aloha ones that go with his bedding, 2 red gingham ones (because I loved them and talked him into them!), another 2 that are the same as his bedding only with a blue background instead of white, and the quilt shams that go with the quilt. So, there you have it~ a lot of pillows for one little boy!!!


Just one more quick pic tonight...

This is Bryce's closet. We painted it with chalkboard paint when we moved in almost 3 years ago and it has been the most fun thing in his room! We all love leaving messages on it, making 'to do' notes and reminders, playing tic tac toe, drawing pictures~ It's so FUN! I had just wiped it down tonight so it's rather boring and plain without the normal busy doodles and such. Sorry, I wasn't thinking! Bryce's dresser and nightstand have baseball knobs so we put them on the closet, too. They were a Target special when we lived in Germany (courtesy of one of my Mom's goody boxes.....thank goodness she got extras back then!) XO

Love the closet doors, Nick has been begging me to do this in his room and I have been putting it off....it looks adorable, I might just have to give in and do it!

Hello, I skipped over from my sisters blog! I too have a chalk board wall...I love it. Everyone who comes over draws on the wall. We sprayed painted our wall...We got it everywhere. I would just use real paint if I had to do it over again.Then we put a border around it and a chalk holder at the bottom. I love your blog!!!

Hey there! You picked some cute pillows for your son's bed~ I love the colors. And what a great idea to use chalkboard paint on his closet! Our son would get such a kick out of that...hum, I'll have to think about that one! :)

Have a great night, Les!

Thats it, I have got to get me some more pillows. I love your sons room, and the closet door chalkboard is awesome. My kids would love that. Is it very messy? I'm sorta a neat freak, we should probobly wait until I can replace the ungly cream/white carpet in my sons room that shows everything.

I am glad to see all those pillows! I have three so far for my daughter's bed (she's not in it yet, I'm just planning!) but then I found another one and I really want to add it but that would make four and does any toddler really need four? But I think maybe she does!

Hi,
I am coming over through At Home In Georgia and just needed to leave a comment. Your son's room is awesome! Love all the pillows and especially the chalk board paint on the doors. He must love that! Your sweet little Caroline looks so cute with the light saber! My son is a big Star Wars fan and has his own wee stash of light sabers. :o) He shares with us too.
