A Big Boy Deserves A Big Boy Room

Time sure has flown by. We have been saying that a lot lately, or at least it feels like it. It seems just like yesterday, Sara was 9 months pregnant and she and Colby were frantically trying to put William's room together before he was born.


Fast forward to now, and we are trying to create a fun and happy room for William to grow in to. A room that we can change if we becomes obsessed with new things, and we all know he will. We have been trying to decide what to do for about 6 months now, and we could never decide on colors, themes, etc. To tell you the truth it became a bit overwhelming.

William is obsessed with the cars, trains, and trucks. It all started with his fascination with the movie Cars. We use to watch it everyday, but now William likes to talk about the cars and play with his replicas of the characters. He knows all of them!!! With that in mind we decided to create a Cars room for him. Mommy found some cute fabric at a craft store and Memaw made William some curtains. That's really where this room started about a month ago. We decided to match some of the colors in the fabric and paint his room yellow and red. We used a deep yellow on top and a bright red on the bottom. We think it looks AWESOME!

When we finished painting the room we opened the door to show William, and he was so excited!!!! He loves the colors. He was even more excited when we added the Cars border that Memaw and Pawpaw got him.

Here are some pictures taken during the whole process.

And some of his room completed









Memaw and Pawpaw also got him the wall stickers. The rest of the "Cars" pieces were either purchased or given to us by the Mattison family. Their oldest son had a Cars themed bedroom. Thanks Mattisons! He has been talking about the different cars since we put the stickers up. So cute!

We think William really loves his new space, and we are excited for him. We aren't completely finished with it yet. Mommy is working on his name that use to hang on the wall. When it is all done it will look like a racing flag that spells out his name! Mommy is also working on a few little extras to put in his room, but for the most part it is done! We are waiting for a toy organizer that should be here sometime next week, and a picture board that Memaw is finishing up with some extra fabric!

Hugs to all,
The Tates
