Room Makeover... Sorta...

Boy #1 has a little reading nook in his room, and it was looking a little bare.  Time for a project!  An easy one at that.

I added a tension shower curtain rod and a fabric shower curtain to his room.  It adds color and blocks at the sunlight in the morning.

Then, I switched out his previous bookcase / seating area (Ikea's Billy Height Extension Unit) that was under the window and bought a storage ottoman.  The Billy was fine, and he sat on it all the time to look out the widow.  But I found that the books weren't staying in there and it was constantly messy.  And I wanted to make it cushiony, but that required a custom size.  I'm too lazy for that.

Lastly, two prints were framed and placed on the wall.  I found both ideas on Pinterest, naturally.  I created the alphabet one after seeing the idea.  (The post provided a .pdf, but it was not editable.) 

Unfortunately, there are no "before" pictures, but it didn't change that much anyway.  ;)

• shower curtain from Ikea: Hallback (bought in store recently, but don't see it online)
• red storage ottoman from Target: Circo Double Storage Ottoman
• alphabet print: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B5gYg6AytK0SWHJiWVlEWk5BX0k/edit?usp=sharing     (In case Google Drive doesn't help, I did in PowerPoint.  Font is Century Gothic.  Alphabet is size 100.  "Is for" is size 66.  His name is size 72.)
• You are My Sunshine print: http://www.designerblogs.com/you-are-my-sunshine-free-printable/
• teal 8"x10" frame from Michaels: Utopia Wall Frame

If you're curious about this bookshelf, I bought it secondhand from a neighbor.  But it's the Kids' Sling Bookshelf with Storage Bins from One Step Ahead.
