Now that I’ve shared Julia’s fancy flamingo room, I’m excited to share Mac’s swashbuckling pirate bedroom!

My sweet teddy bear of a boy has been into pirates for quite a while now. I attribute it to our Disney season passes and limitless rides on Pirates of the Caribbean.

I found this bedroom on Pinterest and used it as my inspiration:

Like Julia, I wanted Mac’s room to have one focal wall of a fun wallpaper. Of course I turned to my friends at Spoonflower and browsed their massive collection of designs. At first I thought it would be cool for the wall to be a giant map, but there are so many great choices, I couldn’t settle on just one.

What I found was even better!

This design immediately caught my eye. I love how whimsical and “little boy-ish” it is (that’s totally a term, right?). It almost looks like the pages of a pirate coloring book coming to life.

The designer, Jill Byers, said this pattern was actually inspired by sailor tattoos. 😉 So maybe not so little boy-ish, haha. But I still love it!

Though the design is a bit busy, I don’t find it overpowering. Paired with three basic white walls, the navy nautical design provides the perfect pop of character.

As for bedding, we’re sticking with Mac’s classic madras quilt and sham for now.

I love how the reds and tans pair with the navy. We’ll likely upgrade him to a bigger bed once Miles moves out of a crib, but I’ll stick with the same color scheme. Madras never goes out of style!

The throw pillow is from Spoonflower’s sister company, Roostery. I feel like it perfectly ties in the navy from the wall paper and red from the bedding. Plus, the design is just too cool for my young captain.

I think the boys are quite pleased with their pirate hang out.

Another cool thing about Spoonflower’s wallpaper is that it can be used for a variety of crafts. I have every intention of framing a sheet of this Old World map design and hanging it in Mac’s room, but it just hasn’t happened yet.

Moving at the start of summer break has left me with limited time for extra projects. I promise it will get done once the kids go back to school!

Yet again, a big thank you goes out to Spoonflower for Mac’s awesome wallpaper and to Roostery for the pirate pillow. I am so thrilled with how the wallpaper looks in Mac’s big boy room!

And shout out to my girl Mallory from MalWow Productions for these fun photos of my boys.

I’m so excited to finally reveal Julia’s big girl room with you!

Julia’s room was a really fun project for me throughout our home building process. I wanted the space to reflect her bright and girly personality, but also wanted it to grow with her and not seem too juvenile. I became fixated on the idea of flamingos. They are fun, happy, and oh so Floridian- just like Julia!

I started off by creating this idea board and ran with it.

I knew I wanted the focal point of the room to be an accent wall covered in wall paper. Have you shopped for wall paper recently? It can be overwhelming! With over 650,000 designs, I turned to Spoonflower for ideas and inspiration.

I scoured through hundreds of designs (and ordered my fair share of $5 swatches) but kept coming back to this particular flamingo print. Isn’t it fabulous?! I absolutely love the colors and knew I could pull out the mint green as well as pink with Julia’s bedroom accessories.

Spoonflower’s design database includes the art of independent designers from all over the world, who earn a commission each time their designs are  sold. The artist that designed this print was kind enough to adjust the scale, so I had her make the flamingos larger.  Such an easy process!

Spoonflower’s wallpapers are made in the USA and printed at their headquarters in North Carolina. Best of all? The paper is super easy to install and remove. As much as we adore Julia’s room, something tells me my sassy girl will change her mind again before she graduates high school and moves out. 😉

And how fabulous are the fancy flamingos on this throw pillow? Spoonflower’s sister company, Roostery, has the same design marketplace and prints the designs on home goods such as napkins, tea towels, pillows, and throw blankets. I just love these long-necked ladies.

More adorable throw pillows from Roostery. The name of the design is Flamingo Party- so cute!

I’m pretty sure Julia is thrilled with her room- what do you think?!
