Red, White, and Blue Boy’s Bedroom

Happy Wednesday!  If you have been around here for a while, you may recall a couple prior versions of Sawyer’s bedroom.  Unlike Emmy, he does not like much change, so it’s just had some minor tweaks over time.  When we first moved in, we created a Star Wars inspired space for him.  Last year we added in Americana since he loves history.  You can click here to see where it was a year ago.  Honestly, not much has changed, but we changed out the two dressers for one longer  midcentury dresser, and of course we added some awesome lego storage under his bed.  But also, if I am being honest, last week the kids rooms were in tip top shape, cleaned and organized (I will be sharing more on that soon!), so it was the perfect chance for me to shoot them and update them.

So here we go again with Sawyer’s red, white, and blue Star Wars and Americana inspired boy’s bedroom!

Star Wars & Americana Inspired Room

As I said, the major change was taking Sawyer from two smaller dresser to one larger dresser.  I loved the clean lines of this midcentury piece and felt more mature for my growing boy.  We had to also spread the beds a little farther apart which really opened up the center of his room, which is where he plays with all of his legs.  Win win!

On top of the dresser, we “decorated” with things that are special to Sawyer, including several of his books and treasure boxes as well as some special photos, and of course his Darth alarm clock!

Star Wars Boys Room

I purchased the vintage flag almost two years ago at the Country Living Fair and it might be my favorite piece in the room!  The red garland is from Ikea at Christmas time, but I thought it was a fun touch year round.

I have also brought in a little bit of new artwork, including this C3PO poster which we carry at Sweet Clover.  And I want to note that the lego Star Wars pillows were hand made by my mom…. they were so time consuming and challenging that they are sure to be one of a kind.

In the gallery wall, I also added some new art… A “Love You More! Nope, That’s Impossible!” print from Sweet Clover.  That’s our special saying and the artist added the “Nope, That’s impossible!” for me.  I found the weathered metal “9” on the ground when I was out for a walk last week.  Sawyer’s birthday is August 9th, so I thought it was perfect for him!

Sawyer is always pretty content to keep his room from changing… but recently he did ask me to paint the rest of the walls navy, like the angled wall….Boys Star Wars Americana RoomAnd I would love to change out the ceiling fan at some point, too.  So there are still some projects in the wings for this space!  But I thought it was worth updating!

    Love his room and all the changes. That dresser is awesome. Makes me sad because Noa outgrew his star wars obsession 🙁

    Love his room and the way you repeated the red, white, and blue. Those under-the-bed boxes that you bought at Lucketts are the perfect Lego solution. They look so good peeking out from under the bed. And, when I wrote about rhinos on my blog you challenged me to find your rhino. I never turn down a challenge, and I spy a rhino on that fab MCM dresser. What a lucky kid.

    I love both of your kids’ rooms, but I think Sawyer’s is my favorite (maybe just because I have that house full of boys myself). Really, you can’t possibly go wrong when you combine Star Wars and US Presidents 🙂

    Cassie, Sawyer’s room is just the cutest!! I love how you wallpapered the eaves around the window, the affect is awesome! And those trunks under the bed, the desk alcove, the subtle Star Wars theme, all so fun and filled with personality! He must love it!!

    I love his room, Cassie! The flag + tassel combo is perfection (seriously, inspired) and you did such an amazing job giving Sawyer a “themed” bedroom that I’m sure he loves, but in an incredibly stylish way! I love it!

    It looks awesome! I actually just gave Brendan my mid-cen dresser that was in the den when we hung the tv over the fireplace. it’s hard watching them grow up! no one plays legos here anymore and it’s bittersweet!
