Trent's Room

Trent's room has been done for awhile now, so I guess it's about time we showed it to everyone.


This has been an on-going project that started when Trent was about nine months old. Of course we wanted to have the nursery all ready and perfect before he was born, but I just couldn't decide what I wanted to do.

We decided to go with a car theme, since he has liked cars ever since he was really little. I took pictures at some classic cars shows and hung those on the wall, along with a framed vintage racing poster.

Kris put up the beadboard paneling. It was a very complicated process, in my eyes. I'm glad he has that engineering mind! I painted the paneling, trim and walls. We also have a cool valance that Kris' sister Kathi made. It's solid blue with metal grommets at the top.

Once Trent is sleeping in his big boy bed, we'll take out the crib and center the dresser on that wall.

Wow! That is an awesome room. Kathi is so good at sewing...I would simply tell you which website has the best discounts on them.

The room is so cute! You two are so talented! Trent would be so embarrassed if he saw his friend Brandon's room! AUGH! My decorating skills are less than par...

Will you come decorate my house? Averi is 2 today and her room is still not done. OK, it's kind of in transition to Matix's room.
