We chose Besta instead of the Billy series because Besta shelves are 14 inches deep to Billy’s 11. The shelves are from the Ikea Besta series (14) built-in and secured to the wall and trimmed with baseboards and molding (15). The boy’s room is pretty large and I wanted a ton of space for toy and book storage as he grows. The book is really fantastic because it uses the same stars for the constellations but draws the lines between them so they actually make sense.

Gemini (above) actually looks like a set of twins (or two stick figures holding hands). You may notice that the constellations look a bit different than you’re used to. P gave me a color-coded sheet - the larger dots are actually the brightest stars in the sky and so on from there. Notice the dots for the stars are all different sizes. I just asked for Ursa Major to be above the crib and he went from there. P used one of his favorite books (13) to place the constellations so they would appear next to each other the way they do in the sky. The constellations are not haphazardly placed.

I followed with the silver paint pen, then he finished it off by adding more random stars and the Milky Way (the large band of stars). He designed the wall himself and used an overhead projector to shine the drawing on the wall and trace it in pencil. P is a stargazer and after showing him several constellation walls (12) on Pinterest, he was sold. I lined (11) the inside of the dresser to brighten things up a bit. Finding animals the right size was challenging! We made custom animal drawer pulls (10) using some toys and spray paint. He sanded it down and I painted it white. P’s dresser and changing table from when he was a baby. I passed over it until we saw it in the store. The rug (9) is much brighter in person than it appears online. I made the pillow (8) by scanning a Paris Metro Ticket, printing it on fabric, then sewing and stuffing it myself. Next to it is a small trash can (6) for non-diaper items (diapers will go in the diaper pail (7) next to the dresser). I looked for an end table (5) to keep breastfeeding supplies close to the glider but also something that could double as a nightstand as he gets older. The glider (4) is a recliner, no stool needed. The hamper is several years old and repurposed here. It’s actually quite difficult to search for (“wild bear?”).

The bear (3) is pretty random, but I wanted a giant stuffed non-teddy bear for the room. There are plain white sheets because I didn’t think we needed more pattern and because I need a white background for his passport photo. We love the crib (2) because it’s simple and will convert into a toddler bed later. The baseboards and trim were already white when we moved in. My parents helped us paint (1) the room a light grey with a white accent wall. Links to tutorials and products are at the end of the post. No one thing dominates the room.ĭid I use the room as a vehicle to try every craft project on my wish list? No comment. I’m anti-theme and wanted a bright, colorful room that will grow with him. I’m really proud of how our baby boy’s room turned out! We’ve been working on it nonstop and I didn’t stop to take pictures of our projects in progress.
