Tween Room Update

Good morning! Thought I'd update you on the progress in the tween room. To refresh your memory, this is how it was looking last time I posted about it...

BEFORE

And, here's where we are today...

The room has been painted Benjamin Moore's Revere Pewter. And, after months of searching, I finally found the right tartan plaid wool blanket. I experimented with a neutral throw first, but it looked too drab. I was very close to ordering a $90 blanket online, when I discovered this Ralph Lauren one at HomeGoods for $40. I swear, if you check frequently and wait long enough, HomeGoods usually delivers :)

I also added a tartan throw pillow from Williams-Sonoma. I considered adding a monogrammed pillow, but decided to keep it simple for now. This is a guy's room after all. I'll be lucky if any of the pillows actually stay on the bed. 

You can get a little peek at the campaign desk on the right. I painted it, but haven't put the hardware back on yet. I'll show you it soon.

I also have a new, old dresser to share next time. After months of searching craigslist, I instead ended up scoring one for free from my brother. I swear, if you beg frequently and wait long enough, a family member usually delivers :)

I'm very happy with how this room is coming along. Hopefully, it will all be done before the tween becomes a teen!
