Going from a baby room to a big boy room

My son is now eight which is hard to believe but now is the time to get rid of the baby border and baby lamp. I bought this ocean critters bedding and bought the valance to match but purchased the wrong size. Darnit! That's what I get for guessing instead of measuring. Of course they now longer sell that set so I have to decide if I want the matching one (on Ebay)or just stick with a solid color. Things I want to do with the room:

1. paint the room a really light shade of blue

2. remove the border

3. buy a bed skirt

4. get the full size frame out of the attic

5. buy new lamp

6. get rid of ugly mini blinds and replace with a shade

Here are a few pictures that will be my before shots

A child who loves to read...I love that. I am an avid reader myself. My little granddaughter loves books, being read to and "reading" to us.

I'll bet your son is excited to be getting a big boy room!

Thanks for the comment! We are currently reading A Series of Unfortanate Events and he loves to switch from him reading to me reading. It's a lot of fun to do this together.
