Big Boy Surfer Themed Room

We had so many things we wanted to get done before the baby came, one of which was Bennett's big boy room. It was done except for a few wood working projects the hubby was working on before Grayson made his arrival early. If we had a girl I wanted to do a hawaiian/beachy theme, which if you know us know Hawaii holds a very special place in our heart ❤️. Since we ended up having another boy I knew I wanted to somehow use a beach theme but make it for one of our little guys. My hubby suggested surfer theme and we both fell in love with the idea!

It started with TONS of paint samples, thank goodness for Lowe's 99 cent sample sale the weekend we were looking! We narrowed it down to two colors we liked and my awesome friend had the idea to do a tall border/chair rail out so we could use both. My husband found the perfect light gray wood stain for the border and he got to work. I am the first to admit I am not very crafty, thank goodness my hubby is amazing at DIY, wood working...pretty much any idea I throw his way!

Handmade 5 ft. surfboard made by my amazing hubby. We used leftover sample paint to choose the colors to cut extra costs!

Handmade height chart, using the same wood stain as the chair rail to help tie together the room.

Gray & blues are perfect for this surfer room!

I didn't get a good picture of his bed, had to stop to nurse little man. But the sheets are PERFECT! Surfer sheets from Pottery Barn Kids!

Love this bookcase from Target in gray, perfect for this surfer room!

It turned out amazing and our big guy loves it! We didn't want cheesy surfer, rather we were going for something that would be timeless and not something he would outgrow in a year or two. Can't wait to watch him grow up in this room and am so happy we can bring his height chart with him when we eventually move so we will always remember!
