I decided Bens room looked a little dumpy- I painted it last year but but the colour is a little dark so Im thinking I will do it again (with VOC-free paint...).

I bought him this dresser yesterday (below) should come next week- his current one has bob the builder stickers on it and is literally falling apart! It really looks trashy... Im thinking with this new one I will replace the knobs to match the new curtain rod (brushed nickel)

I also got him these curtains- his old ones are too dark and too long. I tried hemming them last night and I totally screwed them up! Now his room looks worse!! So I found these on sale... I think they will match his room well- his room is ocean theemed I though they were kindof wavy and watery looking. :) I got a matching valance which Im hoping will look really nice compared to what he has now... OH and I of course had to get a new double rod set so I could hang the valance- its brushed nickle which will be brighter than the black one he has now that came with the house.

I could get a photo to post, but if you click on it you can see the colour and zoom in for the pattern. I love the pattern better :)
