Not a member yet? A few weeks ago, I read this post over on A Detailed House about design ideas for boys’ bedrooms, and I thought I’d show you my all-time favorite DIY project: a Lego-themed bedroom. A little background: for a while, M and C shared a bedroom. I think M was in 1st grade and C was a toddler, so coming up with a theme suitable for both was a little tricky. We wanted something whimsical yet not embarrassing for our oldest. Something fun… but not something that we’d have to redo in a year or two. Something that both of the boys enjoyed right at the moment, but that also had staying power after M moved on to his own room. The answer came as soon as I stepped on one of the million little blocks and Duplos scattered all over my house: Legos. The crowning jewel of this room, in my opinion, is the bunk bed. We bought a basic wooden one from IKEA (I think it was called Hemnes), and large wood dowel rods from Home Depot. My patient husband cut tons of disks from the rods, carefully sanded them down and glued them in place on the bed.
Then we primed and painted the different sections to look like gigantic Lego pieces. Back in the day, we couldn’t find Lego bedsheets or covers, so I bought two cheap comforters and a lot of simple broadcloth material in red, yellow and green. I couldn’t find a suitable plain dark blue, so I used a king-sized navy sheet. I cut the material into large blocks, sewed them together and backed it with a large sheet. As with any duvet cover, I wanted to be able to strip it off the comforter and wash it. I toyed with the closure, originally thinking I would use buttons. But with two very mobile toddlers and only nap-time to get two covers put together, I opted for the easier zippers. For the window treatments, I decided to use dark blue denim to make Roman shades. I backed them with heavy-duty blackout lining, because as a mother, I was willing to go to any extreme to help my youngest sleep in past 4:45 a.m. and nap for longer than 20 minutes. You do what you need to do.
For the cornice, we used a simple 1×4″ board covered with the same material and attached it to the wall. I drilled little holes in a few of the Mega-blocks that we had strewn about and hand-sewed them to the cornice. There are other little Lego touches around the room that we’ve picked up over the years. A Lego alarm clock sits above C’s desk. Pictures of Lego men (aka, “mini-figs”) freaking out hang on the walls. M moved into his own room a few years ago, but C still loves this room just as much as he loves Legos. I know I’ll get a little teary and nostalgic when he outgrows it, but for now, I just going to enjoy it.Snuggle up to cozy quilts in timeless colors and playful patterns that are perfect for layering.
