If you need to catch up, here’s Week 1, Week 2, Week 3, Week 4, & Week 5 and the Star Ceiling!
Just as a reminder, here’s our inspiration…
And here’s what we started with… No play space and a hodge podge of nursery and big boy decor.
Ready to see it now?! Come on in!
Clearly, the paint and the stars are showstoppers! I can’t stop staring at them!
Our biggest project in the room was building the window seat. Jeremy did an awesome job with the carpentry and it turned out just like I planned in my head. I upholstered it with a Kate Spade tablecloth I found on the cheap at Marshalls!
I found the curtains and the stuffed animal basket at Target. I clipped the curtains with drapery rings to make them easy for Little Man to open and close. They are nice quality and lined–love them!
The storage bins were a last minute find from Target. They have lids, but Little Man prefers to keep the lids off. The bins are consistently one of his favorite parts of the room. He organized all of his Legos into them… by color. He may take after his mommy. Ha!
I love how the curtains frame the window seat!
These pillows give me all the heart eyes! I just love them!
You’ll notice that we rearranged the furniture and got rid of the dresser, instead storing Little Man’s clothes in the closet. That has freed up so.much.space in his room for him to play!
Little Man loves looking at his cool artwork when he’s in bed!
We kept the painting I did for Little Man above his bed. I think it still goes perfectly in here!
Sweet story– I was tucking Little Man into bed recently and we resumed our game of seeing who could “out love” the other person. I told him to look at his stars and that I loved him to all of the stars and back. He grinned and thought about that for a moment, then pointed at his painting and said, “Well, I’m gonna blast off in the rocket to the moon, then go to all the stars and back. That’s how much I love you. So, ha!” Sweet, silly boy of mine! He melts my heart!
Jeremy and Little Man built the Millennium Falcon Lego set together to use in his room. We were going to hang it from the ceiling, but it was too fragile, so we used it on the nightstand instead. That ended up being a happy change of plans, because Little Man loves to play with it! Fun fact– I gave Jeremy that Lego set back when we were dating!
Little Man’s room feels so much bigger with the new furniture arrangement! He loves having tons of room to spread out. He especially loves having a rug to play on now that we have the space! I found this rug at Rugs USA for such a great price! I almost purchased this one, but decided to go with something with less pattern and more texture. It goes perfectly in here!
We found this R2D2 stuffed animal at At Home and couldn’t resist surprising Little Man with him. 🙂
Ready for the before and after?
Little Man LOVES his new room! We had him sleep in Little Girlie’s room over a weekend while we painted and worked on his room. We didn’t tell him what we were planning and were able to keep the entire thing a surprise. He was so excited when we revealed the room to him! We even played the Star Wars theme song as we opened the door. Ha! He keeps thanking us and telling us how much he loves it. Success!
Huge, giant thanks to our awesome sponsors for this project! We couldn’t have done it all without you!

Hi
How did you do the ceiling? Did you stick thousands of star stickers on?
Thanks
Yes, it took about 600 star decals. Suprisingly, it only took about 2 hours to put them all on! Here’s the posts I did about the ceiling:

Rachel @ trailertrashtreasuretrove

Thank you so much for your kind comments! It was so fun to do this room!
This is a great room! I know that your son is loving it and what a great idea to play the Star Wars theme song for his surprise reveal!!
We’re working on a Star Wars room for my little boy, and I am always looking for inspiration. This room is awesome! I love the pillows, and that ceiling, just wow!
This room is SO cool! You did such a nice job combining beautiful design elements and making it perfect for your little guy. I LOVE that starry ceiling!!
That ceiling is incredible!!! I just love this room! You did an amazing job. I bet your son is SO happy!
This is amazing! I love that you brought the ceiling paint down onto the walls. The effect makes the room’s corners completely disappear. Wonderful! my little guy would love this room, too!
Such an amazing makeover! Love all the details, but mostly digging on that ceiling. What a lucky boy! Thanks for linking up at Best of the Weekend. I’m featuring this room tomorrow night!
WOW~amazing. We just bought a house and I had purchased star wars bedding for my son. I am in love with the fabric on the window bench. PLEASE share? Where did you purchase it?
Thanks,
Angela
Thanks! I’m sure your son will LOVE his new bedding! The fabric is actually a Kate Spade tablecloth I found for cheap at Marshalls. It looks like the runner and placemats are still available on Macys.com, but I didn’t see the tablecloth. I did find it on Ebay, though, if that helps! http://www.ebay.ie/itm/KATE-SPADE-French-Navy-White-Geometric-Loop-Design-54-sq-Tablecloth-NWT-/322057565949
I was wondering about the with down seating that you have the storage bins in. Did you buy it or make it?
STORAGE BENCH
Hi Teena! We were going to buy an IKEA or Target bookshelf, but they were all too short, so we ended up making it ourselves. You can find plans for a similar shelf on Ana White, you’ll just have to modify it to only have one row of cubbies. Link to those plans as well as the post where I explained how to upholster the bench below! Hope that helps!

I love the ceiling and saw the post with what type of paint and colors you used but what did you use for the stars? are they stickers?
Hi, Wendy! Sorry, I need to put that link at the top with the weekly updates so it’s easier to find! Here’s the link to the post about the stars. They are decals that I ordered off Etsy. They applied just like stickers–so easy! Hope this helps! 🙂 http://www.littlebitsofhome.com/2016/05/star-wars-big-boy-room-progress-starry-eyed.html
THis room is now my inspiration!! Could you tell me how far down the wall you brought the naval color? ALso, did you use chair rail or crown moulding? I am attempting this look this weekend and I am suuuuuper excited!
You are SO sweet! Glad you like it! We have standard height ceilings and doors upstairs, so we had the dropped ceiling come down 15 1/2″ from the ceiling to the top of the moulding. This allowed the dropped ceiling to go about 3 1/2″ below the top of the door frames. When we were trying to figure out how low to go, we noticed that it looked best when the moulding came down past the door frames and wasn’t even with it. The moulding is a skinny crown moulding. We were actually going to go with a chair rail, but discovered we were able to reuse the existing crown moulding by just moving it down. So, we went with the free route. 😉 I think either type of moulding would look amazing! Good luck with your project and let me know if you have any other questions! Let me know how it turns out!
THank you for such a quick response! That all makes perfect sense. I will share a photo when it’s all done!
Love this room! Looked up the Etsy shop for the star decals and one set is 148 stars; how many sets did you end up using? Thanks for the inspiration!
Thank you so much!! Because I did both the ceiling and the tops of the walls and I did them in dense arrangement, it took about 4 sets. Hope that helps!
Can you share the source of the light fixture!!! Your room is now my inspiration for my 4hr old son!!! Thank u
I did some digging and found the light! Ours came with the house when bought it a few years ago, so I wasn’t sure, but just found it at Rejuvination! There’s a bunch of different options of base colors and shades. Ours looks like it’s the oil rubbed bronze base with the orange striped cone shade. Hope this helps! Here’s the link:

I just wanted to say Thank you – I landed on your site having been looking for silver stars for a dark ceiling. I’ve just ordered the same ones as you have on your sons room so fingers crossed!
Oh yay! So glad it was helpful! Hope you love them as much as we do!
This room looks amazing! We are expecting our first and are working on the nursery over the next few weekends.
We were wondering how you brought the ceiling lower? Is that moulding or a strip of white paint? Any help is greatly appreciated!
Congrats! The room originally had skinny crown moulding, so we took it off and moved it down the wall about 18″. But, any moulding or trim would work! Hope that helps!
Love this so much! I am confused about the stars though- did you use white or silver? Thanks so much! Its gorgeous!
Thank you so much!! The stars come in any color you want! We used all white stars in here. Hope that helps!
Hi Samantha,
I LOVE YOUR BLOG!!! ENJOYING LOOKING AT EVERY SINGLE POST YOU DID. I AM TRYING TO DO THE STAR WARS THEME FOR MY SON’S BEDROOM. HOW MANY STARS SETS DID YOU ORDER FROM ETSY? HOW BIG IS YOUR SON’S ROOM?
Thank you so much for your kind comment! I can’t remember how many sets it was, but it’s about 600 stars! My son’s room is about 11×10 or so. Hope that helps and your son’s room turns out amazing! Here’s the post all about the stars for you!
http://www.littlebitsofhome.com/2016/05/star-wars-big-boy-room-progress-starry-eyed.html
HOW MANY STARS DID YOU use? What are the rooms dimensions?
Where did you buy the orange stripped light fixture? I’m in love with this room
