I partnered with Lowe’s for this project and I’m so excited for you to see it!
Although we have lived in our new house for over a year, it has taken us a long time to tackle decorating each room. Finding time to decorate while pregnant and looking after two little kids is tough, so we have an excuse right? After finishing both of the girl’s rooms we decided it was time to finally tackle Hudson’s room. We hung stuff on the wall right away for him, but most of his furniture was from our old house, and just didn’t work right in the new space. Plus we never got him a bed frame or headboard. So it was about time to finally make this space his own!
Here’s his room before we got started. Hudson and I decided it was time to upgrade to a bigger bed. Well. I decided it was time. And Hudson was on board. And then he wasn’t. And then he was. So…jury’s still out on if he will actually sleep in the big bed tonight. We shall see.
It was time to finally paint his night stand. It was mine as a child and had flowers all over it. So it was in desperate need of a refresh! I wanted to paint it a fun color so that it would really stand out….of course Hudson suggested blue. But after some negotiation he agreed that green would look really fun…and he was right!
So I started my mission of finding the right shade of green. Thank goodness Lowe’s was to the rescue! And had tons of color options for this project. We ultimately decided on “Caitlin’s Kelley”…it’s the perfect shade of bright green, without being too crazy. And I LOVE it. Green is my favorite color after all…and it really pops in his room!
Painting it was super easy….we just sanded down the night stand and got to work. No priming necessary. We used Lowe’s Valspar Furniture paint and I’m so happy with how it turned out!
And here is Hudson’s finished big boy room. It’s so him and I love it. I’m sure this room will evolve a lot over time, but I just love how it reflects his little 4 year old personality perfectly.
Didn’t the night stand turn out perfect?
I loved this color so much that we decided to paint Hudson’s dresser too!
With this project we were lucky to pick the perfect color the first time…but have you ever totally misjudged a paint sample and then ended up with a gallon of paint you can’t use because the color just isn’t right or you just don’t love it? Well, Lowe’s takes the worry out of picking the wrong paint because they have an amazing guarantee. If you are not completely satisfied with your paint you can simply return the unused portion within 30 days of purchase. Lowe’s will replace it with a comparable can of paint or refund your money. So you are able to get the perfect paint for your space or project every time with no worry!
Do you have a room or piece of furniture in your house that is in desperate need of a refresh? I’d love to hear about your next project!

His room turned out great! I love that green color and I want his bed spread for my room, haha! And that teepee is adorable!
Aww thank you!
I love Hudson's room so much! Where did you find the frames that are above his bed? Everything looks so good together!
Thanks! The frames are from Hobby Lobby a few years ago.
LOVE it!!! I love how it's essentially theme-less with a tiny bit outdoorsey thrown in! Just perfect for a little boy!
It turned out so cute and he acted like he was really happy…..now if he will just learn to stay all night in his cozy bed!!
THis is my favorite room make over I have ever seen! Sooooo cute. You are so good wih interior design!
Aww you are too sweet! Thank you!
Such a fun refresh, I love all the great colors!
I had no idea about their paint return policy!!!! So good to know. That is an awesome green…my favorite color too. And if I could choose any shade of green I would always go with a Kelley Green!! My fave
I just recently bought that comforter set but haven't switched it over on my son's bed yet….this post inspired me to get that done! It looks so cute, such a fun room!!! Can you please share where that shelf is from that the baskets of stuffed animals are in??!! It would be perfect for so many spots in my home!
Can I ask about the wall paint color? It pairs so nicely and not too matchy.
