Striped Accent Wall

 This is my son Will's room, my little man will be 9 in May. I really wanted to do something fun in here for him, since it always seems like I'm tweaking the girls rooms!! We painted his room about 5 years ago the color is Ben. Moore nantucket fog. I love the blue/gray color of his room and believe it or not the walls stayed in good condition! So I decided to add a striped accent wall near his bed. The color of the stripe is  Ben. Moore  newburyport blue. He LOVED how it  made his room look so of course it put a smile on my face!







The poster size picture over his bed is him playing soccer last year. My husband had it made up for him and we gave it to him at Christmas. ( I think it was his favorite gift )!! He's been playing since the age of 4 and loves it! He also loves to play baseball.


        He shares a jack & jill bathroom with my youngest daughter.

 ooops forgot to put the other sheet on to cover the boxspring, must of been in a rush that day! I'll do a post of the whole room soon I want to paint one of his dressers first.


Hope everyone had a great weekend! And as always I love hearing from you!  Martina

    Martina, what a cute room. Love the striped wall. His name is Will Farrell like the actor, huh? Cute poster idea. This looks like a room in PB kids catalog.

    The stripe was a great idea, Martina! I love the way it breaks up the room and becomes a focal wall for his bed.

    We've been away for a few days so I missed this post. I love the stripes! My twin boys who are nearly 9 also have a red, white and blue room. I think they would love stripes on their wall too. x

    Such a great room! The striped wall is fantastic (admire your patience). I love the personalized print above his bed (what a cutie), and the baseball lamp is too cute. My kiddo (5) has a "sports" room, too. :) (Love the jack and jill bath!) *Becca*
