beckett's room

so, beckett has been living in his room for about a year and a half. i would say almost two years, but he was never in his room the first few months of his life. really... like never. we have made a few changes... upgrades if you will and i thought i would do a little room update. 

i wanted to do a map in beckett's room, but i couldn't figure out what exactly. i found a map of the united states on pinterest that was a free download, but it was only meant to be printed on a piece of paper. i sent it to john and asked him to help me and he figured out how to make it bigger (i have no idea how) and printed it out on canvas. i looooove it. thank you john!!! i made little flags to mark the states that beckett has visited (5! including hawaii) and hopefully we will eventually fill that map right up! it turned out so cute. i'm sure you will be jelly.

i saw a crib at pottery barn kids that had a photo progression of the baby above it on the wall, so i planned on eventually copying that idea. originally, i put maternity photos in the frames and started replacing them as beckett hit milestones. the frames are in belly, birth, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, and 1 year. the frames are ikea and anything with beckett on it is adorable... so it turned out real cute. they are above the crib so they are seriously mounted to the wall. we will surely lose some drywall when we rip those babies down. 

pbk has a new elephant collection. what i love about it, is that it is all grey and white. i bought a fitted sheet. it compliments his bedding perfectly. 

beckett has also received some special items from some special people. a handmade elephant from aunt saige. a cozy monster from aunt brandie...who lives on the chair during the day and sleeps with b at night. an ugly doll picture drawn for b by his cousin mia. a giant photo of b (printed by john... again!) that we used at his birthday. all these things make his room extra personalized and special!

and... here are some random room shots... cause his room is cute.

i saved the best for last! my favie favorite part about beckett's room these days is that there is a beckett in it! a real little person to enjoy all the things we and everybody else got with him in mind. he is even better than i expected when i sat in this room two years ago imagining the little boy that was coming. awesome.
