Expedit in boys room gets country look
Materials: Expedit, wood boards, driftwood stain.
Description: We have Cowboy/country theme in our children's bedroom.
Now the rest of the room has been updated. We have Expedit shelves, and placed boards around. I stained it with driftwood colour.
You'll see more pictures of the room here.
My first hack posted here was the boys cowboy bed.

Love the make over, would love to see a picture of what it looks like open curtain to see the contrast between the white, wood and fabric but if your boys are anything like the ones I know then maybe hidding it might be a better plan!
ReplyDeleteHi Ruthie! thanks for comment, see my blog for more pictures...

Hidding all the toys behind the curtains is better for my eyes and mind .. :P
That's a very neat idea! I will have to check out your blog and see what other creative things you've come up with!
ReplyDeleteYou're all welcome :p !
DeleteGreat idea and really makes the room come together well!
ReplyDeleteLove your take on Cowboy/Country!
Thank you for your comments :)
Deletewhich color did you use for the wood? is it a paint or a stain? I love the effect
ReplyDeleteHi Adriana! I used stain, and it's called driftwood. Brand name is Jotun Lady. Some places I had 2 coats, others 3, just to make it more lively. Hope this helps you.. thanks for comment :)
DeleteI went to the jotun website, but can't find a way to purchase the stain. Where did you buy it? I live in the US.
ReplyDeleteWhat sizes are the pieces of plywood planks you used?
