Philip's room

Several weeks ago, Philip and I spent a day over the weekend working on cleaning his room.  We are talking the big clean where we go through the drawers and all.  We used to do it at least 1 time a year but honestly, Philip doesn't want to do it anymore and I think it went a good 2 years.  The reward for doing the room is that we wanted to update the décor.  It has been since 2008 since we redid his room.

We went to Ikea to get some new bedding.  We picked up a few accessories.  He also wanted to hang his various concert posters and albums he has been collecting.  I'm the Mom that won't let him tape a poster to the wall.  We must frame it.  While he has been teased about framing his posters, I do think it is classy.

It was not a miss on me that this is the last time we will be decorating his room. In fact, he asked me if he could take his stuff with him.  Of course, that is part of the reason I wanted to get some updated stuff.  While it is kind of sad that it is one more thing coming to an end, I look forward to the day his room is my craft room!


Here are a few photos of the updated room.

New bedding including a throw.  Concert posters on the wall.



More concert posters.  We also got some live bamboo and
got rid of lots of stuff off the top.  He wasn't quite ready
to toss the bucket of swords.

These are framed albums.  He actually has more now.  We will
need to add them.  We need to update his light switch plate since
 this one doesn't match anymore.

Definitely a grown up room now.
