Rustic bedroom for a boy
Decorating a bedroom for a boy can be difficult, especially when they are at that age where toys are no longer cool and they haven't yet made of their mind what they like.
If you have some old pallets or scraps of timber lying around, Real Housewives of Bucks Country have come up with a fantastic idea for using scrap wood to create a rustic wall in their son's bedroom.
They sanded the wood lightly... so as not to lose cool character, but they didn't want splinters for the little man either.
The wood was arranged as it would look on the wall, so that they could figure out how they wanted to whitewash the wood.
To make the whitewashing colours, to cups water were added a few dabs of paint.
It was trial and error. They used the grey-blue wall paint, white paint, and some navy (which was used full strength) for cool tones, not the warm honey ones it originally had.
Before putting the pallet wood on the wall, they added some industrial looking lights.
