Alex's new "Big Boy" room

Last week was pretty exciting at the Bergevin house. Mommy finally finished painting Alex's new room, and Alex's new bed frame. The mattress for the bed was delivered and Alex spend his first night in his new "big boy" bed. As you can see, he could hardly wait to try it out.


I found his bed at a furniture store labeled "as is". It was originally the bottom part of a bunk-bed. It had some scratches, but nothing that a little wood putty and paint couldn't fix. The bed was white at first, so it took about 6 coats of paint before it became navy blue. I added some nobs on the posts to complete the look and make it look less like the bottom of a bunk bed.

Alex had a successful first night, but did wake up around 2:00 a.m. a little disoriented. After a hug and kiss from Mommy, he went back to sleep.
