First Room is Done: Kids Room!!!

We're still a week or so from holding the Open House to get this place on the market.  There's just too much to be done!  But I wanted to get at least one room staged - just to feel like we're getting close to finishing our project.

So, what's up first - the kid's room.  It's a south facing room that gets lots of natural light.  And I want it to be light and bright.  But, didn't want to do a traditional boy or girl room.  No pink princesses or primary colored dinosaurs here.  The goal was to have something that would work for either a boy or a girl.






The theme - jungle critters.  Giraffes, Lions, & monkeys.  Those work for boys and girls, don't you think?





I went with a great fabric that has lots of jungle animals in different shades of teal and green.  And I found this fabulous elephant lamp at HomeGoods.  I think that's my favorite detail in the room!

There's a sisal rug on the floor, banded in the same green as the other accents.  The pint sized table & chair set came from IKEA.  And the cute little money and giraffe?  I found them at Kohl's.


So what do you think?  Can you see your little boy or girl in a room like this?  Does the staging make sense?

  1. I like the staging set up! It's very kid neutral, young boy/girl and I can easily envision it morphing into an older kids room - thanks to your awesome staging :)

    I hope you don't mind my asking (but I'm dying to know!) What do you do with all the items for staging after a sale? Do you have a giant staging storage shed, craigslist, a very full basement/attic)? Offer staging items to interested buyers? Ohhhh, the options, lol.

  2. So funny you mention that Becki, because my husband and I were having that same discussion over the weekend. At this point, we have 2 VERY full storage facilities. But I'm thinking after this house sells, I might do a sort of 'estate sale' and pare down my collection. I figured we'd give the new buyers first 'dibs' on anything they might be interested in. And I have a lot more that can come out of storage and get sold!

  4. Those windows are beautiful! The room has such an open and airy look. Any kid would be thrilled to have a room so great!

  5. Cute! I love the house shaped storage/bookshelf! I think it's awesome and gender-neutral... though yellow is always a good bet too!
