Well we finally did it! We moved Leo in to his own room after months of dealing with bed time dramas with the two older boys sharing. It hadn’t been a problem until Leo reached an age where he was frustrated with his brother, ha! and bedtime was becoming a dreaded time for us as parents because the would either argue, talk or both get up one after another 1000 times.
So we converted our original office in to Leo’s new bedroom and gave it a full ROAR-tastic makeover! Leo’s been a dinosaur fanatic for about a year now and I am hoping he doesn’t grow out of them in the next 6 months…eek.
I wanted a green feature wall but was worried about having it too overwhelming and in your face. This green worked out perfect! When I put the first stroke of paint up I was like Öh no, it’s too bright!!”but once it was finished it looked just like what I was going for. A jungle style green! It’s slightly duller than these photos as they have been lightened.
The next step was to find some decals for the wall. I didn’t want them animated but more realistic and it took me a while to track down exactly what I wanted. I found these at the Decal Depot in Australia and we love them! I was meant to get their full pack with the volcanoes as well but ordered the wrong pack! But they’re still amazing and Leo LOVES seeing them every day.
The LEO name sign was made from a local lady and her business is Little Miss Viking. The bed was from the Warehouse. I definitely wanted something wooden to go with that rustic jungle feeling and this bed is so perfect for this space. At first I was looking for one that was to the ground (house bed) but I actually now much prefer this as it allows me to store his blocks and excess toys under it. The triceratops stool is also from The Warehouse.
The Dinosaur bedding is from Kmart including the sheets which are dino themed too and his stegosaurus pillow.
The wide toy unit is from IKEA (Australia) and so are the book shelves. The little wooden dinosaurs on the shelf are from another NZ business called Little Galivant. The gorgeous macrame Long Neck is from The Knotty Corner (also local).
The bean bag was from Kmart and its a little chair which is the perfect spot for our bedtime reading. Leo loves reading their and always asks me to sit on it with him. So cute!
On the other side of his room we have his kitchen from Kmart and storage also from Kmart which holds more toys and puzzles.
And that’s about it! Hope it provides some inspo for anyone looking at doing a dino room for their little one. Nothing was sponsored and everything was thoroughly thought out by me!
