Herringbone Stenciled Headboard with Wall Monogram {+giveaway!}

Back mid-summer I started working on my son’s room. Oddly enough, I had wanted to get him into his new room before we started trying for our second child, but within weeks of starting his room I found out I was indeed ALREADY pregnant (ironic, huh?!). So I kind of had to sideline his room makeover for quite a while because I was so exhausted in my first trimester. Fast forward 28 weeks and hear I am finally finishing up the room and sharing it with you this week. Today I’m showing you how I stenciled the wall behind his bed to create a Stenciled Headboard using Royal Design Studios Stencils and using a wall monogram from Southern Nest to bring it all together.

Boys Red, White and Blue Bedroom Makeover with Stenciled Headboard and Monogram from The Cards We DrewIf you recall, I’ve already shared how I made over his furniture by painting it red with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint and I also did DIY fabric drawer liners with striped navy fabric that I got from Online Fabric Store. Now I can finally share how I complimented his West Elm Navy Striped bedding with a fun Herringbone Shuffle Wall Stencil from Royal Design Studios.

I’ve worked on several stenciling projects throughout my house by now where you can find tips and how to’s on stenciling walls, shelves, curtains and more. But this stencil by far was the most challenging given the multi-colors that I used. It takes a lot of time and you really just need to take your time and be patient with the whole process. Visit THIS post or THIS post for other stenciling projects on my blog.

Boys Bedroom Makeover with Stenciled HeadboardTo start, my husband repainted the bedroom a light gray color and painted all the trim in the room white. Once we painted our base coat we purchased 3 pots of paint from Lowe’s in small tester pots that including white, navy blue, and red (specific colors were Valspar Crimson, Valspar Midnight, and Valspar Ultra White). I also was given a small pot of Modern Masters Metallic Paint in Pewter that I used for the project, as well.

Boys Bedroom Makeover with Stenciled Headboard and Monogram from Southern NestI measured to the middle point of my wall and then lined up the middle of the stencil with that point and started there. At first I couldn’t decide if I wanted to do the whole wall or just behind the bed, but after seeing some great inspirational ideas like THIS and THIS sent over by Royal Design Studios I decided to use it as a headboard behind the bed. I have a lot of patterns in this room and I didn’t want to overwhelm the room with too much pattern.

Boys Bedroom Makeover with Wall Monogram from Southern NestI purchased this AWESOME custom monogram for above the bed from Southern Nest. I’ve always been a big fan of monograms (our own bedroom has monogrammed bedding and sheets), so I really wanted to incorporate a monogram into Andrew’s bedroom. I think it adds a classic, preppy element to the room that we’ll use for bedrooms to come as he grows up.

herringbone stenciled wall from The Cards We DrewThe funny thing about boys bedrooms is that I wanted something that I could easily update as his tastes changed, so while he currently loves superheroes, I didn’t necessarily want the whole room to be superhero themed. So I tried to find elements of superheroes that would capture some of his personality more, but that was easily changeable in the room. Tomorrow I’ll show you another element of the room that captures his superhero love a bit more! 🙂

    Wow!! This looks so amazing! I love that you kept most of the wall neutral and then the herringbone pattern just as the headboard. Great color choices, too! I’d love if you would stop by our Link It or Lump It party! http://www.delineateyourdwelling.com/2013/12/link-it-or-lump-it-party-16.html
