Grant's New Room - Design Board

I had been planning to do a Hawaiian Surfer room for our son and have collected a few items (vintage metal "beach" cars, surfboard sheets, made a little quilt, and a plaque), but my husband convinced me to keep his room more classic and to stay with the look we started with in his nursery (Hemingway, world traveler).

We both agree, however, that we need to freshen things up. We are hoping to move into a bigger place by February, so now is a great time to start pulling things together so his room will look super cool as soon as we're in the new place.



Fabrics-classic blue and white ticking (to be made into simple, removable, slip covers for the headboard and footboard), ethnic paisley(made into pillows), asian toile(made into pillows), kilim style fabric (used to reupholster the bench)
Furniture- mission style full bed (existing, similar to this one), vintage painted chest of drawers with bin pulls (something like this), child size club chair (existing-his is from Target with blue and white ticking), vintage danish modern bench (find one like this at thrift store reupholster it in the kilim fabric), voyager steamer cube (nightstand), black book shelf, wall shelves
Accessories & Toys- vintage 1930's train blueprint, french exposition art, chalkboard easel, trike and trailer, mission swing arm lamp, guitar, masks, baskets, chevron area rug
