Hi, guys. Welcome back to my channel, and to a boys' room tour. Today I am so excited to
walk you around my son's new bedroom because it has undergone a massive transformation,
which I hope you'll see. I'm going to show you all the before and afters and talk you through why
it's been designed the way that it has, and just give you a really good tour of everything. So,
hopefully you enjoy it. We definitely had help with the design, so I'm going to link her down
below, and I'm also going to link all of the products that we bought for his new bedroom in
the description, so if you want to check any of it out, all the links will be there. And,
if you're new to my channel, we actually moved into this house a year ago now, and we're slowly
going room by room renovating each space. This is the third bedroom that we've done up,
and I think it might be my favorite. So, if you like renovation and interiors content, please
consider subscribing because I would love to have you and we're about to start our extension at the
back of the house. So, there's lots going on, but with all that said, I will just tell you a bit
about the room and walk you through, like you're here with me. So to give you a bit of background,
when we moved into this house, although it was the second biggest bedroom, it had a strange
flow to it and it was actually quite difficult to maneuver in here. There was also an ensuite,
which took up almost half of the bedroom, and as soon as you walked in, you were faced with
all of the ensuite, so it wasn't very welcoming. So, we really wanted to change the layout and the
bathroom in here, it was actually quite old. The shower didn't work, so it either needed redoing
or just completely getting rid of, and this room was actually next to his brother's bathroom. So,
we decided to add a door and create a Jack and Jill for them to share, which meant that we could
then get rid of the ensuite in here and free up loads of space. So, I'll just walk you through,
show you everything we've done, so let's go. And now when you walk into his bedroom,
you're not faced with a wall. We've got all of this space here because the ensuite is gone. There
used to also be a wardrobe kind of in the middle of the bedroom and they were a very dark brown,
but we managed to reuse those wardrobes. We just had them moved back to this wall,
had them sprayed white on the inside and outside. And, now he has loads of storage for all of his
stuff, and we also changed the handles for these like long, black handles, and then our
carpenter added a few shelves on the side. So, it got a bit more storage for books and things,
and it also just makes it look like a bit of a feature, softens it a bit as well. So, this area
here is kind of his dressing area. We've tried to show that with the rugs. So, we got this rug from
a place called Benuta and what's really cool about this one, the color matches his room perfectly,
but it's also reversible. So, if you ever want to change it over, maybe be in the summer or
something, you could do it with the seasons. So, that's there, and then we put a chair
to make this feel like a nice changing area. So, the chair itself is from Maid, and then we got
this cute cushion on it, which says into the wild. There's also some baskets here, which I love. I
think I showed you guys these in my other son's bedroom as well. One says mess, one says stuff,
and it's just so easy like when you're clearing up toys to just chuck them into those baskets,
so I love them. We also changed all of the sockets and light switches to be Matt Bronze,
and then this was actually the window that was in the ensuite bathroom in here. We are waiting for
shutters to arrive for this window, but because of the tiles, we couldn't have it measured until
the bathroom was gone, and then this plant Caleb actually chose from the garden center himself,
and I really like it. He loves aloe plants. We went to Spain recently and he really likes them.
So, he's got that there, and then over here, again, this is kind of still in his dressing
area. So, he's got all of his hanging stuff, and then he's also got this chest of drawers, which we
just love so much. It was from Maisons du Monde. I think it's like mango wood and it's got these nice
black handles. We just really like the way that it looks, and we actually had piece of glass made to
sit on top of it because it was quite a soft wood. And I was like, "If someone puts a cup of coffee
or a drink, you could just see it was going to get ruined." So, we had this glass put on top. I think
it was like 30 pounds, was it? We also have this little mirror, so when he is getting ready, he can
check himself, brush his hair, I don't know. Got a little cactus, and then this is like a
wireless speaker that you can link up to your phone, play music, and then we also have some
hanging plants up here to add a bit of height to the area. These are faux plants from IKEA I
believe, and I'll link where the baskets and pots are from. I think they were like eight
pounds or something, so really reasonable. But, we also did this in Jackson's bedroom. This was
our interior designer's idea. So, we just got some hooks, put them on the ceilings, kind of
like draws your eye up and it just really works. We love the way that this space looks with the
light switches and all of that, and also because we've kind of wanted this section to feel like
the dressing section, we have two lights in this bedroom, so we have this one here.
So, it faces to his wardrobe and his chest of drawers and the chair,
and then we have another light over the bed. So, the light over like the bedroom area,
I can't remember where it's from, but I will link it down below. They did loads of different shapes
and I just love the way that it looks, and it kind of matches the wood in the room. And when
you turn it on, it casts really cool shadows as well, which adds some texture to the room and it
looks really cool at night. And now onto the best bit of the room, I think, and that is the tepee
bed. We really wanted to go for a Woodland vibe in here. I'm also originally from Canada, so I wanted
to incorporate that, and my son Caleb is a bit of an adventurer. So, I went for a teepee bed,
which our carpenter actually made for us. It took him about a day, so he built this
headboard and then these, and then went away and sprayed them black and came back, put it all
together, and we're so pleased with how it looks. We've just got a normal divan bed and mattress,
and then obviously had that built, and then we also got some wall stickers that are trees. We got
these on Etsy and we think they look great, and then they kind of add to this wall of the bedroom.
And then on the bed itself, we've got loads of accessories, which is really cute. My son,
he takes pride in putting them on the bed every day. So, these red cushions were from Next. He's
always had this mountain cushion from Loaf. I'll link where this mountain cushion was from because
I can't actually remember, and then the inspo pic for his bedroom had a little fox on it.
And, when we showed Caleb this is what we're thinking for your bedroom, he was just so focused
on getting that Fox. So, we actually found it, and then there's also some nice throws. These
obviously kind of match the red cushions, and then this one is from Nordic Nest. It actually
went half price after I bought it, which was annoying, but it all looks great. We've also got
a little bedside table over here. That was from Maisons du Monde as well, had a little bit of
glass put on it, because again, it was like that soft wood and we wanted to protect it, and then
we also got a lamp for this area and it's really cute because at night we just sit down with him,
do his reading, do his spellings, and have the lamp on and it's just really, really cozy.
Then, over here we have a few prints. I actually have shown these
in a home hole before. We actually originally got four prints, but then when we came to put them up,
we were thinking we could place them like this, but it wasn't kind of working. We wanted this
to feel like a bit of a corridor and actually this room is quite narrow, and with his old bed,
it was much longer and it made it so difficult to walk past the bottom of the bed. So, by changing
the headboard and also getting a standard bed, it's made this space feel so much bigger, which
has been great, and then we also had a rug put under the bed. It is from La Redoute and again,
it just kind of like breaks up the space. So, it makes it feel like this is the bedroom area,
that is the dressing area with that rug. And then when we were actually doing
up his room, we realized that we had to choose the carpet for the whole house in this room.
Then obviously once we knocked out the ensuite, we needed new carpet and we wanted to have the
same across the entire upstairs of our house. So, we had to make a big decision while we were doing
this room, but we've gone for a carpet that is called milkshake. It's in the color rhubarb,
and we just feel like it's the perfect color. It's got like a nice amount of gray in it and
a nice amount of cream, and it feels really, really soft. So, we are pleased with it. And
then on this side of the bed, we have a desk area for him, which he's actually never had before and
we really wanted to be able to give that to him. Obviously, he's getting older, he's going to have
more homework soon, but also if, hopefully it won't happen, but if we ever have to homeschool
again, he has this space where he can work at. We've actually put a monitor in here. This was
my monitor in my own office, but I tend to just always work on a laptop. So, he's got that now.
Obviously, we've got more tree stickers over here, a little area where he can put notes or we've put
some photos and books up there, but he could put his homework there. We've got a desk lamp.
He's also got this little desk chair. It's like a faux leather which is great
because I feel like he can't ruin it and it spins around. He's been spinning on it
loads and loads. There's also a little wireless keyboard and mouse, so he can just pull that up
when he's actually using the computer. And again with this desk, we had a piece of
glass made. So again, it would just protect it for a very long time because it is that sort of soft
mango wood. So, that's his desk area, which he's so excited about. He's really creative,
and I just know he is going to use it and then we also changed the radiator in his bedroom.
The other one was broken and it was quite ugly as well. So, we changed it for this column rad,
and then we also put shutters into his bedroom and they were from a place called All Kinds of
Blinds. It's the same place we got all the other ones done, and we're really pleased with how they
look and they are actually really dark. I didn't know if we'd need curtains with them as well,
but they're actually great. And then behind the desk, there's all of this space here and then
a door, which goes through to his shared ensuite with his brother, which has also just been done.
I've done a full tour of it, so you guys can check that out on my channel. We're so pleased with it
and the boys love that they have this like secret entrance so they can obviously use this bathroom
and then they can also go through to each other's bedrooms. So, this is now his older brother's
bedroom, which again, I've done a whole full tour on this room as well if you want to check it out,
but they love like having that secret space, and obviously Caleb now has access
to that huge, beautiful bathroom as well. Okay guys, so that is his room tour. I hope
you love it as much as we do. Caleb is so thrilled with it. I think it actually blew his mind when he
saw it for the first time. He's never had a room like this, and when we actually moved into this
house and did the initial house tour, we did get a few comments from people saying that our second
son's bedroom looked so small, but we always had this vision that we would possibly knock
out the ensuite, make it feel so much bigger, and obviously he's got the Jack and Jill and
it's probably the best bedroom in the whole house now. So, I hope you love it. Let me know what you
think in the comments below and next up is the extension out the back of our house. So, I will
show you the whole process, but thanks so much for watching and I'll see you soon. Bye, guys.
