Creating a ‘funky’ room for a big boy!

While Vega is definitely still my baby, I’m aware that his birthday is looming and he’s on the verge of walking – soon he’ll class as a toddler rather than a baby. Gah!

I’m starting to think about a few small changes to his nursery to take it into a room that will grow with him. Seeing as it’s National Wallpaper Week, I started looking at different wallpapers we might like, and I came across this amazing star print wallpaper from Graham & Brown and knew that it would be perfect to create a feature wall in his room. It’s quite exciting to have a room to design for a boy for a change [esp for his Papa who is planning on ALL the Star Wars toys!]

I like bright, bold and funky designs {see his fab cot we picked out} and love that this will work for a baby, toddler and bigger kiddo.

I’m planning on adding some honeycomb shelves {to display those said Star Wars toys, natch!}, a little bookshelf to go with the mini-IKEA chair we got for him the other week, a new lamp and rug and some storage baskets he can fill with toys!

rug // honeycomb shelves // chair // lamp // basket // star wars figures // bookshelf

I’m excited for the paper to arrive and impatient to get it on the wall – though I’ve never actually wallpapered before, so it could be um, interesting!

Do you have any wallpapering tips to share with this first timer??!
