Meta Monday: Indy's Room

Oh, that's right! Monday again! Monday is fast becoming one of my favorite days. Why? Cause it's Meta Monday and I get to look at all the cool things people do to change stuff up. Wooohooo! Also, today I'll be joining in on Blue Monday.

For my metamorphosis, we're going to look at Indy's room. I know you think it'll be all Incan ruins and temples and whatnot, but he decided he wanted a pirate themed room. Theme, not pattern. Darlene wrote a great post about theme v. patterns here. Don't check it out yet! I have to show you Indy's room first!


This is what it looked like when we moved in, and before we got our furniture. Large, but ridiculously dull. And WHITE. I hate white walls. They are the enemy.



Before our household goods arrived, we painted it Indy's favorite color: BLUE. The boy loves him some blue. Here's the same view as the first pic. Quite a difference, eh?



We left him a lot of open space for play. Play, play, play!


I still have a few things to do, but figured it was good enough to post. I plan on putting his monogram above the ragamuffin garland, but just haven't found the time yet.

Here's a closeup of two of the projects I found over at The Nester.

And the memo board (which now has way more stuff on it):


Indy is actually in the Master Bed, but the room we are in is slightly bigger (though with fewer closets). We chose to put him in the Master because the room we are in is right next to the front door (you've seen the door to it in my Entry Meta) and we just weren't comfortable with the thought of him being by the front door and us being at the back of the apartment. Plus, he doesn't hear the door open and close when M goes to PT at 6am. Thanks for stopping by and make sure you check out all the other metas.

PS. It's not blue, but PINK. Barbie turns 50 today! I so loved my Barbies as a little girl. Many an hour were spent imagining with Barbie, Ken, Skipper and all their friends. Barbie gets a lot of bad press, but she only brings up happy memories for me. Happy Birthday Barbie!
