Andrea's room for her son has a theme, but it doesn't hit you over the head the moment you walk in. Instead it pops up in little, unexpected places. She shares: Jonathan is quickly approaching his first birthday, and his room is finally done! Before I was pregnant I was already a frequent visitor of Ohdeedoh, even though we weren't really planning for kids just yet. I loved all the room tours, they are all so different and so inspiring. They do not help with baby fever. When I found out I was pregnant I already knew if I had a boy I wanted ROBOTS!
I usually prefer more vintage eclectic styles and muted colors, my husband wanted bright colors. So this is what came of our different styles ... A brightly colored eclectic robot room.
I love to make and create as much as time allows. So I made what I found time for, the curtains and his night-time routine poster are my favorites. I really wanted to make a quilt but I'm not an experienced quilter and didn't think I'd have the time or patience, so I found a great one on Etsy. With most of the furniture I chose things with clean lines. I found some great pieces at local vintage shops, like the robot and blocks.
I decided to put robot and gear wall decals low enough for my son to interact with them, hoping it inspires a creative mind. Because the room is on the smaller side and awkwardly shaped I removed the closet doors and painted the interior orange, to give the room a little surprise. I hope my son enjoys his space as much as I enjoyed creating it!

Love the robots. Seriously cute and very nicely done. I like the contrast in the closet but as a mom of two one-year-old boys I can't imagine not having a door. Aesthetically awesome. Practically questionable. (at least in our house!)
Love the room.
Adorable room, this is almost exactly the color combo I wanted to do for my son's first big-boy room. What color did you use on the walls?
I love, love, love the colors. I think you did a fantastic job.
And for the record, my three and five year olds share a room with no closet doors. They use the closet for their toy kitchen and other house play items. The clothes are all hanging high, so they can't really get into too much trouble with them.
Yet another unique and adorable makeover! What great colors and nice theme! This goes down on my favorites list.
I love this room. Fun, but not too much.
What is the wall colour?
Thanks for all the lovely comments!! :)
The color is Winding River by Freshaire, it's a no VOC paint. I got it at my local Home Depot, however they no longer carry it!?!
This is adorable! I love the color scheme.
