Dancing up to blow out his NINE birthday candles!
For his birthday, Ollie asked for a bunk bed. I figured since he was getting a new bed, it was also time to re-do his room. He picked a Harry Potter theme, which of course I absolutely loved working on. Go check out this link though, and you can see before pictures of what the room used to look like. It sure looks cute with the old car theme too!
New bed!
We kicked Ollie out and had him sleep in the basement for a night or two and surprised him with the big reveal. To say that he genuinely loved it and freaked out when he saw it would be an understatement.
A big shout out to Jon for putting together our new Ikea bookshelf and bunk bed while I slapped a fresh coat of paint on the walls. (Man, those walls were grubby and disgusting after 5 years of boy life.) Also, this room would not have turned out without help from my sister-in-law, Joy. She was the one who printed out all the text that I used around the room on her silhouette/cricket thing. So professional looking!
Lumos, nox, and a supply of invisibility cloaks.
Diagon Alley
Just look at how Hogwartsy that all looks. I've been know to go sit in there while Ollie is at school.
I bought this night stand for $5 at Goodwill, repainted it white, and tried to make the pulls look like snitches.
Jon cut a piece of mdf which I coated with Gryffindor red and he hung up with shelf brackets to use as a desk. Magical.
New book shelf for storage and display.
We love celebrating this kid!
Looking good in his new clothes from gma and gpa!
Happy, happy birthday Ollie!
