Minnesota Boys Bedroom Makeover....he LOVES it!

Lake was more than excited to see his "new" bedroom! It screams "I am from Minnesota!" He loved the slate gray on his walls and ceiling. I am so happy we did the ceiling the same color as the walls, it's very cozy. My hubby made this great magnetic board above Lake's desk with sheet metal and added a hockey stick frame. We will be selling these in our new shop!
I added several vintage hockey pins to Lake's lampshade. They came from Lake's dad, grandpa and uncles.

Yes, you do see a beta in a glass pitcher. Lake wanted his new room to be hockey, fishing and hunting. So I thought he should have a fish to take care of, his name is Lightning.

We took his pucks and medals and made them into magnets. We used Gorilla glue, everyone should own some!

Minnow bucket for the crayons.

His dad's old hockey stick clothing rack.

Lake adores these horns, they still have the velvet on them.

My hubby found this vintage kayak paddle. It's very used, you can see the natural bend in the wood from all the years of paddling in the water.




A vintage fishing pole makes for a nice curtain rod, I was going to use a hockey stick, but this was much cuter.

Zamboni banks....thanks Kyle!

All boy.

My dad framed a picture of our family cabin with logs to hang in Lake's room. It's his favorite weekend destination.
I have always love this old paddle.

Perfect stool from my attic for his little bum. Lake's room is so simple and it will grow with him for years to come.

This post is backwards, these are the before photos. Pink, Pink and more PINK!!!

Wow, did she outgrow this room or what!? Her makeover is coming soon!

Lake's room is fabulous!(and what a great name you chose.) I really like the vintage minnow pail and the neat stool. You certainly put a lot of thought into it. Our boys both have hockey /farm /fishing rooms too. Our basement guest suite and tv room have this feel also. Definitely what our kids enjoy and it grows well with them. Thanks for sharing your space.

super cool room! I love the idea of the pins on the lamp shade. My daughter is a figure skater and they do the pin exchange at competitions, so she's got a ton. What a great way to display them.
thanks for sharing.
