When Makis was around one year old, we started thinking about making a room for him. I wasn't really into a themed room like Spiderman or Spongebob, and this was before Makis started having an obsession with cars, and the movie Cars. So when we were in Thessaloniki for Makis's baptism, I saw a rug with bright colors on it, and an idea just popped into my head that we should make a room with lots of colors. Our room was already painted a bright green, so that's what we went with. And I like how it turned out!!

A room for Makis! Notice there are no toys! Those are kept in the living room! |
|
The painted white design I got from THIS awesome site that's given me lots of decorating ideas. The frames are from Ikea, and I filled them with Ikea fabric. |
|
Hanging frames that spell out "Makis" with pictures of Makis on the other side! from Ikea. |
|
On the left is a hanging decoration from turkey with elephants. And on the right are animals from the Chinese calendar. |
|
Duck pictures from Ikea, and the star we picked up in Hawaii. You can hang a light through it, but I like this better at the moment. |
|
Makis's bed I got from an antique store that was closing. I love it. |
|
I did a little more of the white paint decoration on this wall. The pillows on the shelf I made myself. The letters I picked up at Michael's when I was in the States last. |
|
How cute is this bedspread cover I picked up at a Super Market here in Samos! It has images spelled out in English and Greek! What a find! |
|
Egg chair for Makis from Ikea. The curtain I got from Ikea just for the fabric, but when putting together the room, I liked how it contrasted with the green walls, so I kept it as a curtain! |
|
How I keep Makis's clothes organized! This is an Ikea bookshelf I found in the As Is section in Athens. We ordered new glass doors to go with it, and at first thought to hang fabric in the windows. I like the see-through better. |
|
Pillows I made with my sewing machine, letters from Michael's and books! |
|
Brightly colored rug that gave me inspiration! |
|
Shorts on one level, shirts on another, socks in the basket, Easy!
|
So there you have it! A room for Makis. Can you tell I love Ikea? Me and Vasili spend hours in there. Now I just need a way to get Makis to sleep in his own bed!
