(silence). Hi guys, welcome back to my channel. In today's
video, I'm going to be sharing with you a 48 hour room makeover of my eldest son's bedroom.
We have been meaning to make his room more personalized for him since we built it. Three
years ago, we extended the upstairs of our home and we actually built his bedroom. But
when we built it, we were in such a rush. I was very heavily pregnant and we just needed
to get some paint on the walls and get a few things done before the baby came. It's never
really been very [Fraser 00:02:17]. That's what we wanted to do, but then we were also
supposed to move recently and then COVID-19 happened, and we just don't know when the
move is actually going to happen. So we thought, why not just do a surface things, just decorations
and accessories that are a lot more him, and we've managed to do it very quickly and on
a budget as well. I'm so pleased with how it's turned out, so I thought I would show
you how you can transform a room in a very short space of time.
At the end of this video, we're also going to surprise Fraser with the room because he's
not actually seen all of the accessories and everything in place. If you want to see his
reaction as well, stay tuned until end and I will just give you a little tour around
his new room. One thing you should know about Fraser before
I start showing you around is that he is very passionate about football. He loves to play
it, and he wants to grow up and be a professional footballer, and he supports Tottenham Hotspurs.
As you walk into Fraser's room, this is what you see. He's got a little hallway, and then
this is his room. These wardrobes were here when we had the room built so that hasn't
changed, but we did repaint the walls. This wall is painted in Laura Ashley Dove Grey
paint. This is the same color that we had it before, but the wall was so very worn that
we decided to repaint, there were scuffs and marks all over it. Then over on this wall,
we decided to go for a different color and have a statement wall. I was very nervous
about going with this color, Fraser really wanted this color because he thought it was
very Tottenham, so it is the Hague Blue color. I was nervous, but because his room is so
very bright, he's got a vaulted ceiling with Velux windows, it actually works and it's
really warmed up the space. I think it looks really, really nice.
Matt painted both of these walls in just a day. Then, this wall behind his bed hasn't
changed, we did wooden tiles when we built the room. His bed is from Dreams, he's had
it for a while now, but we did change the bedding on his bed. Again, we thought it was
more Tottenham. All the linen and throw is from Secret Linen, I'll link everything I
can down below. Then at this pillow here, we did get on the Tottenham Hotspurs website.
It is a knitted Spurs pillow, hopefully can see that, and it feels very nice so we thought
it would be nice to just have one pillow. He does make his own bed, I didn't want to
have loads of throw pillows for him, he's only nine years old.
We also got him two new bedside tables, he used to actually just have one bedside table
and it was our old one, so I'm so pleased with these. They look really industrial or
urban, they feel like they're a tin material, but also really sturdy as well. I'll link
them below if I can find them again. I also like that you could see through to his books,
he's a real keen reader, so I've put some of his books here. Then, on top of this bedside
table is probably the thing that is going to excite him the most. This was such a find
by Matt. Matt found this bAll from the Champions League Semifinal, and it's signed by Lucas
Moira. This is such a huge moment for Fraser in football, Tottenham made it to the Champions
League Semifinal. I don't know a huge amount about this, but he scored a hat trick and
honestly it made Fraser's life. He was so excited. He kept re-watching it on YouTube
and it was just such a huge for him, so I think he's going to be so excited about this.
The ball is signed. Then, we wanted to have a picture next to
it to show Moira holding it, and we ended up finding a signed photo of him with it.
We've had it framed. We've got it next to it, and then we also got a Perspex box and
it came with a little plaque as well, so it says the minutes that the ball scored the
goals in that game. Honestly, it's just going to be so, so special for him. That is there,
and then we also got some new bedside lights. I will link them below as well. I'll show
you what they look like on. Yeah, so that is that on, and there's another
one on the other side as well. Over on this side of the bed, we've got the same bedside
table. Again, I've put some of his books in there and a football down at the bottom as
well. Then, we got a fake plant, which was really cute, I think it's from M&S, but we
did feel like his old room was lacking a bit of greenery. We've got the same bedside lamp
on this side. Then we also got him this really cool clock, it is like a gaming PlayStation
remote control type thing. It says the time on it and you can also set alarms on it, and
we just thought again, it's very him. He loves gaming.
On this wall next to his bed, we changed his prints. He used to have three Star Wars prints
over here, so we just switched them out for some football ones, and we put three of his
favorite players. We did Harry Kane just here, then Messi there, and Ronaldo as well. Matt
sourced these prints, so I will link it down below, but we thought they were like a bit
more arty than just a photo of the actual player.
Then over here on the windowsill, we did also choose this little globe for him. I believe
this was from John Lewis and I was going to put it on one of his bedside tables, but there's
actually so much going on now that I decided to put it on the windowsill. His new room
in the new house will have a desk, so I'm sure that this will sit there, but in his
old room, you might remember, we used to have a big wall sticker of the world there. I felt
really bad just taking that off because he really loves to look at it, so I thought if
he's got a little globe and he wants to look at like where we're going on holiday or whatever,
it'll be quite cool to look there. I also put one of his football trophies on the windowsill
as well. Over here on this wall, we hung up a print
that his friend actually got him for his birthday. It's really cool because it's personalized,
so it has some players from Tottenham and then it also has Norris, so it's his name,
and then the idea is that Fraser signs it as well. Then over here, we have the White
Hart Lane sign, I got this on the Tottenham website and it's made of actual sign material,
so I put it in this little hallway, because I felt like that could kind of be a road;
I think it really works. Then over on this wall, this print is going
to be hung, but Matt has actually just taken the boys out to the park while I prepare the
room and this has just arrived. I need to get him to put this onto the wall when he
gets back, but I'm going to put it here because when he plays his keyboard, we set it up here,
so I thought that that would make sense. Yeah, so that is Fraser's room make-over.
All that's left to do is surprise him, and they are going to be home any minute, so I
can't wait for him to see. As you can probably tell, everything but the paint, it's all stuff
that we can take with us if we do move house, so I'm so pleased with how it's turned out
and I'm excited to show him.
Wow. Wow. [inaudible 00:09:51] Hi Kane, Messi and Ronaldo. A PS4 controller.
Yeah, it's a clock.
Oh my bollocks. What is this [inaudible 00:10:02] thing? No.
It is the ball. Signed.
[inaudible 00:10:16] five minutes, then it was like, "Moira, Moira, Moira".
Yeah.
I remember it. I love it. [crosstalk 00:10:22].
Aw. Isn't that cool? Daddy found it.
Yeah, cool, right? You can keep that forever.
Yeah, see look, it's got authenticity. It's the real deal. So cool, right?
Whoa.
Oh yeah.
Oh, you have Spurs balls. A tiny Spurs ball.
Yeah, they're little tiny Spurs balls.
[inaudible 00:10:56] sports.
So it's bedtime now and I forgot to outro the video, but thank you so much for watching.
Are you happy Frase?
Yes.
Good surprise?
Yes.
Bye. Say bye-bye, K.K.
