Shared Boys’ Bedroom Update August 6, 2018
Thank you to The Home Depot for sponsoring today’s post!
I’ve been slowly making progress on the boys’ shared room, and even more so now that Austin is actually sleeping in it! We transitioned him to his crib about a week ago, and while we’re still in an adjustment period, things have been going fairly well! I wanted this room to feel special for Landon, who was excited to share with his baby brother, so we’ve been making some fun updates! Today I’m sharing a few of them with you, all with items from The Home Depot! The Home Depot is becoming my destination for furniture and home decor because of the wide variety they have to offer.
One of the biggest updates we made was adding this adorable Magnolia Home wallpaper from Home Depot to their window seat. My goal was to turn this window seat into a little reading or quite time nook for Landon, and I love how it stands out more with the wallpaper. We added some sconce lighting, a seat cushion, and some cozy pillows as well. I think the space really makes a statement!
The wallpaper was MUCH easier to apply than I expected. I’ve used removable wallpaper in the past, which can be a bit of a pain to install. This check print Magnolia wallpaper is “temporary,” but more forgiving upon application because it’s easier to move around on the wall. To apply, you simply wet the paper with a spray bottle, wait 2-3 minutes, and then apply it to the wall. Because it creates a paste on the back of the paper (as opposed to being a sticker), you’re able to move it around and line it up better than you would with removable wallpaper. Removal instructions look pretty easy as well – simply wet and remove! I plan on using more of this paper in the future (I’m like, “where else can I wallpaper now!?!?”), and I’m still debating wallpapering the slanted walls! I noticed they have this shiplap wallpaper, too, which might be a fun contrast!
I added a few other updates too, like this adorable owl hamper for Austin and some new bins in the closet for storage, all from The Home Depot! I’m still working through the whole room sharing and having enough room for their clothes, so I do think I’ll add another tall dresser in here soon. But in the meantime, utilizing closet space has been a big help! I like these soft bins from The Home Depot because they fit the space perfectly and they’re easy to remove off the shelves. I’ve been keeping bed sheets and linens in here to maximize drawer space!
I still have some work to do in here, including adding some artwork and other fun things for the boys, but I’m loving how it’s looking so far! The Home Depot has really impressed me with their wide variety of furniture and home decor, and I found several items from the boys room for you linked below like Landon’s bed and their rug! Stay tuned for the full reveal!
I’d love to hear what you think about adding additional wallpaper to the slanted walls…keep it without, continue with the current paper, or switch it up with some shiplap wallpaper?! Leave me a comment below!

I think it would look great with the slants painted in black chalkboard paint – we have some in our playroom and we LOVE it!
Rachel says
I think it looks great without the shiplap. I love the check print and I think the amount you have now is perfect
Becca says
I say leave it as is! It looks amazing!
Meggie says
I love the plaid the way it is! Love it in the closet. I think just leaving it as is makes it more of a focal point for the room. Also loving the ruler and curtains! Getting ready to put my two youngest boys together soon too!
Lauren McBride says
Thanks! The ruler is handmade from a friend 🙂
Aliza says
It’s so cute!! I actually think it would be super adorable to continue the plaid paper on the slanted walls… ????
Melissa says
Yesssss to shiplap wall paper!!!!
Brittany says
I think I would leave it as is. Although the shiplap could be fun too!
Alison Jenkins says
Love it!!! But I’d say leave as is! Looks great.
Jenna says
Is there such thing as black shiplack wallpaper? That’ll look cool! I love everything about this room!
CherylAnn says
I think it looks amazing as is, but if you really want to add to it, then shiplap wallpaper would look great.
India says
Someone had the idea of doing chalkboard paint on the slanted walls. I think that would be sooo fun! Chalk and magnetic paint would be even greater! But I do think added the checked wallpaper to the slanted walls would like nice as well! Can’t wait to see what you do!
Amanda says
I loved your idea of using chick paint, the boys can use it going up to practice writing, write note of weekly reminders and just a great way to make their room fun!
Amanda says
Chalk paint
Ashley says
Love it all! Can I ask where is the ABC rug from?
Lauren McBride says
It’s from Lorena Canals 🙂
Pamela says
Hi, I just found you through Brooke from Nesting with Grace! You did such a great job in this room! I love the seat cushion and saw that you got it through Urban Outfitters. Can you tell us more about the Roman Shade? I’ve been looking for a double window shade that lays nicely for a similar spot in my home.
Thanks for your help!
Lauren McBride says
Hi! It’s from Select Blinds! They have great affordable options!! 🙂
Carla Brandt says
Looks amazing! Where did you find the round alphabet carpet? Adorable and I am looking for one. Thanks!!
