Travelingmama tells us about putting together this wonderful room for her two sons: Around the same time that we moved into our new house last year we found out that we were having another boy. I was faced with the challenge of creating a room that was appropriate for a four year old and a newborn. My son, Parker, loves cars so I knew I wanted to include SOME cars, but I didn't want to room to be all "matchy" and "themey." Finding household items is very difficult here in Morocco...
Our Room: Parker and Landon
Morocco
...(and SO expensive!) so I would plan out my shopping trips to IKEA, Habitat, and ZaraHome for months prior to going to Spain or beg family to bring certain items (like the pillow shams from Pottery Barn and the BLIK stickers!) I also added some character from Morocco with the custom made iron bed and coordinating poufs. Parker thought it was SO cool that his baby brother had a pouf just like him! Please feel free to stop by my blog for more about our family and the boys' room!
Thanks, Travelingmama!

Hey Lesley! You can find iron beds like the one we had made here at IKEA, Crate and Barrel, Pottery Barn, and Restoration Hardware. Happy Shopping!

i really like the beanbag chairs/stools. where did you get them from? they would be the perfect addition to our baby's room to kick up our feet in the rocking chair or for the little one to climb on when he gets older. :)

Surprisingly the puppy was found at Gymboree years ago. The poufs/stools were found here in Morocco. You can find ones similar at Le Souk: http://www.soukshop.com/
The paint was also found here in Morocco. Sorry for not being able to give you a specific name!
