Well, folks, the room makeovers are complete. A few months back, we moved Camden out of his nursery and into his new big boy room across the hall. I didn't want him to associate switching rooms with the new baby (basically, I didn't want him to feel that he got kicked out of his room), so I made sure to make the transition fairly early. But, the room makeover took a while to complete. Somehow, in the midst of all of the chaos that has been the past few weeks, we were able to finish both Camden's big boy room and Macey's nursery. A massive thank you goes out to my mom, whose artistic and designing abilities did not get passed on to her youngest daughter.
First up: Camden's Room!
The wooden letters on the wall are from Michael's and Camden "helped" me paint them-- meaning, he got to tell me which letter should be which color.
My mom painted these small canvases of some of Camden's favorite Disney characters (Oso, Mickey, Donald Duck, Jungle Junction). Also, note the dump truck lamp-- a new favorite of his. PS- Can you spot the little blonde head?!
Overflowing frog toy box, book shelf, and bean bag chair.
Camden is completely obsessed with Bob the Builder. Those are removable stickers on his wall of all of his favorite characters from "Builder Bob", as he says. And yes-- he is mid-excited jump when I took this picture. Just looking at those stickers is exciting.
Choo choo bed.
And now for Macey's room!
Long time readers might recall these pictures of Camden's nursery that I posted a few years ago. I really, really didn't want to paint over the jungle animals that my mom painted for Camden, but I also wanted the room to look more feminine for Macey. Mom had the perfect solution: paint the room purple instead of green, and add a feminine touch by adding things like bows to the animals and butterflies on the wall. Also, we swapped out the brown nursery furniture for white.
Before...
And after!
See the butterflies flying around this girly jungle?!
The elephant is all decked out with a purple bow.
This dresser was a total nightmare to put together, but I'm very happy with the finished product.
Some toucans perched on the new pink valance.
Instead of painting the letters on the wall like we did when this room was Camden's, we opted for wooden letters this time. I like the result.

Looks awesome! We just now got the furniture together for the nursery, hopefully picture ready in the next few weeks....it's making me nervous though. I feel a little better since you only have about 3 weeks to go, that means I have about 3 to catch up!
Love the room make overs and getting to read the details of the changes. Camden is so cute in how excited he is about his room. Love that he calls him Builder Bob! Macey's room is adorable and love how you were able to keep the jungle animals while making it fun and cute for a girl. My one (girl) godchild loves animals and she would certainly approve. :)
