Dax's Camp-y, Military-Inspired Big Boy Room Mood Board
8:47 PM
I've worked on Dax's room on and off and on again. I've purchased a few things here and there and rearranged and randomly bought a new twin bed at 1 am. But what I haven't done is sit down and think about what I want it to look like and then take intentional steps toward that goal. So this is me doing that. If you're planning a kid space, hopefully, you can glean some inspo!
Cozy Throw Pillow | Dinosaur Night Light | Lamp | Pennant | Map Tapestry
Speaking of inspiration, months ago, I saw this image in the Crate & Kids catalog and made a mental note. Unfortunately, I didn't physically tear it out (I thought I did!) but after some digging I found the image to refer back to!

Combat Vehicles Poster $40. I adore this poster and so does Dax. The nod to our military roots is cool and subtle. (also available here).
Modern Black Dome Light. $89. This modern light feels like a good balance to the more vintage touches in the room.
Blue Striped Comforter Set $79. We already have this, and I love it so I'm just going with it. If it ain't broke...
Landmarks Art $20. This fun illustration makes me want to hop on a plane in the worst way. And isn't that the point- adventure!
Swiss Cross Pillow $35. This mod swiss cross pillow has my heart and it looks much more expensive than it is.
Washed Linen Lumbar pillow. $20. Not sure if this will stay (he has a couple of pillows that we love already) but sometimes things just jump into my cart at Target.
Clark + Kensington Gothic Iron $35. The perfect moody, muddy blue. I love it so much. (The top portion will be Clark + Kensington Silent White which will keep things from getting too dark).
Black Swing Arm Sconce $72. I may spray paint this sconce. His bed is brown ("bronze") and I think a black lamp right next to it will bug me. But I like its shape. It was a gifted item so I'm trying to work with it!
Phases of the Moon Art. $29. Not necessarily camp-y (although moon gazing while camping isn't such a stretch. ;)) but one thing I did in the girls' room that worked was to just put a lot of what they loved in there, vs. sticking to just "rainbows" or "unicorns." And Dax loves space (remember this?!).
Gray Lantern Lamp. $20 (but on sale for just $12 right now!). I mean this cutie just makes sense.
Stump Side Table. $75. This was just $55 when I first stumbled across it and how mad am I that I didn't snag it then?! But it's so perfect! Target also has a version.
Retro Alarm Clock. $22. I surprised myself by adding touches of red but I'm kind of loving the red, white, and blue as another subtle nod to the military.
Oak Finish Cubby Storage. $230. This price hurt but I want plenty of room for Dax's stuff and all his books. And a surface to style (that will later be littered with LEGO bricks) never hurt anyone. ;) But this is a less expensive option.
Bed. $198. A super cute vintage/modern, affordable bed that we already have.
Rug. $260. We have this already and I'll share more about it this month, but I was looking for something more geometric/mod. This one is really soft and fits the bill.
And there's more- Some things we have already- vintage books, a vintage toolbox, a cute copper lantern, etc. I'm also awaiting a few items like a mod mirror, fun baskets (this one is on sale!), a shelf also on sale, and still trying to find the perfect curtains (considering these and these) but we're on our way!
UPDATE- See how the room turned out right here!
