A few months ago Jenna from Q.A. Design contacted me about helping her with her little boy’s room. Jenna already has really great taste so it was really a matter of creating a concept that she could run with.
Here are the before pictures of the room.
Here is the plan I created for her.
We wanted a fun space that her boy could grow with. This plan introduced great patterns and colors and it’s definitely a room that any age could enjoy.
Here is the after!
The bedding is from West Elm. The roman shades were made by Windows By Melissa using this fabric by Dwell Studio.
The dark orange pillow was made by Erin from Plush Studio. The fish pillow is from Alice Lane.
Custom Portrait done by Birds of Ashmae.
The funky rug was found at CB2 but has since been discontinued. The gray lamp is from Alice Lane.
The whale bookends are from Alice Lane.
The turtle is also from Alice Lane. It’s a little box. The shell opens!
Trophies and canister are from Alice Lane. The boots were already owned by Jenna.
The orange frame and dog are from Alice Lane. The elephant print is by Sarah Jane Studios.
Car pillow is from Alice Lane.
The fox pillow can be found here.
I hope you love this room as much as I do. It really was such a fun concept and I hope that her little boy enjoys his room for years to come.

This is one of my favorite boy's rooms!!! What is the wall color?
Absolutely love it! The color combo is so fresh and that rug is stunning!
What a fabulous transformation! I love that the trend in nurseries is going toward making them a bit more grown up so they last.
Brilliant! What a great room to grow up in.
To say this is amazing would be an understatement! I love the color combination and fun elements you came up with! This room is great!
I love it! Cute but not overly so. Boyish but not too masculine. Just perfect!
Amazing Kirsten! With the vibrant punch of orange accents and the soft wall color, this room is exciting and soothing all at once. Great job!
Wow!!! I love the blue and orange combo!! This room looks amazing! You did such a great job!
It's adorable…love the color combination, and the stripe comforter is great!!
Fantastic!!! I love the bold orange, aqua and gray color palette and all the playful animal accessories! amazing job!

Darlling bedroom, I love the blues and oranges!
What a transformation! Looks great!
Wow! It looks amazing!! Have you consider using custom printed wallpaper in any of the rooms you transform?
Custom wallpaper can add the personal touch that paint can't.
Let me know your thoughts on the subject.
Great work!
sooo cute!
Where did the "Mighty Quinn" art work come from?
My friend is looking to re-do her sons room and these pictures are a great inspiration – can't wait to show her!!!
Beyond fun! Love the orange paired with gray and your bold accessories are perfect choices!
Crazy how much I love this! Great job both of you! I LOVE the huge scale patterns because they give it so much fun factor- without things getting busy and cluttered.
I think this is my favorite room you've done to date. Love it!

Beautiful room that he won't grow out of for years. The accessories are perfect.
Kirsten, you are a decorating genius! Love the gray/orange tempered by light blue walls. Now off to check out Alice Lane!
Perfect room! I love it! What is the paint color?
This room is great! What I love most about it, is that it looks sophisticated but still whimsical. You did such an amazing job, I'm sure your client and her son will enjoy it for years to come.
This room is amazing! I love the fun color combo – perfect for a little boy! And the details couldn't be more perfect! You are so talented, Kristen! 🙂
One of my favorites yet!
Love all the little details and styling.
Love the room…it eve looks much bigger! Yes, indeed, the details are amazing and really make the room. Thanks for sharing the before and afters.
You truly are talented at what you do! The before & after is absolutely amazing! I am inspired by your work! I hope that someday when I have a place of my own I can be as creative & talented at making a beautiful home as you are! 🙂 Love your work!
love jenna & love this room!
(and also, thanks for following my little blog. i am a design student @ ldsbc hoping to follow in your determined and successful footsteps!)
thanks for all you do!

It's so much fun Kirsten! And probably the most not-so-fun thing in the room is my favorite because I love it so much – the Expedit! It's awesome and would recommend to anyone. Great for storage, great for display, and super sleek. I love the room Kirsten – great work!
Kirsten, it's so fresh and fun. I'm loving all the little details and am sooo into the rug.
Looks awesome I love the light blue with the bright orange! The rug is awesome too. Great job 🙂

Love it! Beautiful as always. Where is the rocking chair from?
What a great room! I'll bet the little guy was so excited when he first saw his new digs. I'm also a big fan of the light blue walls with the orange & grey, great choice!
I can't believe this is the same room! What a change! And it looks so much bigger now! Great job!
I would like to feature this in my blog, with a link back to you of course!
Hope that's fine with you.
Love, Olga

Absolutely love the outcome! I have this same color in my little guy's room paired with orange. <3 it!
This post is beautiful. You are so talented. What a beautiful blog, I am glad I found it. Xx
Gorgeous! Fun, colourful and not babyish, love it!
Great room! Can you tell me what paint color you used on the walls? I want to do a deep pink and robin's-egg-blue color scheme for my 2nd child (girl due in May) and I'd love a color that looks just like this color you used!
Love this! The colour palette and all the little details are fantastic!
Your rooms are always so beautiful. I love this color combo for a boys room. My son would love it as well.
Love Love Love!! I almost ordered a similar rocker for my son's nursery and now I wish I had!
Great job, it's absolutely beautiful!
LOVE that color combo. Great room!
The photo where you have all your ideas & colors. Where can I make one like that?
Beautiful room!
Looooooooooooooooooooooove it!
oh my gosh, it looks amazing!
This is a beautifully done room! I am just loving everything you got from Alicelane, that is some store! Great job, and yes, I am sure the room will be loved for many years to come.
SOOOOO CUTE!!! That rug is KILLER!! I wish it weren't discontinued. this is my fav little boy room yet. How funny, too… Max totally has that same fox pillow. I was looking for something different and modern and that was one of the first things that caught my eye on etsy… Too bad my fox pillow doesn't look as cute in Max's room as in this room! 🙂 ha ha. Great job Kristen, it's so perfect. Jenna is a lucky ducky!
I meant Kirsten, LOL. I was typing too fast.
I love this color combination. One again Kirsten you did fabulous job.
So dang cute I can't stand it!!!
What is the name of this wall color? It's exactly what I'm looking for
Yes, please share the paint color of the walls! It's so subtle and is perfect with the orange and gray…
Love the room. I know that monitors differ, but how is the orange color, and how much is it enhanced? The fox pillow looks like a really bold orange, but on Etsy, they say burnt orange. Did you have it custom? Also, is there any way to include brands on the Alice Lane items, sine Alice Lane is the retailer not the brand? I noticed some Jonathan Adler items (bookends, turtle box), and since I don't live near Alice Lane, I would be curious if I could find the items elsewhere.
I want to echo the commenters that are asking the paint color and brand, what is it? It looks like JUST the color I've been looking for!
Its like you read my mind! You appear to know so much about this, like you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you could do with some pics to drive the message home a little bit, but other than that, this is great blog. A great read. I will certainly be back.
I love this room, it is simple calming yet so fun at the same time! Great design!

AMAZING job, just beautiful! You're so talented.
Where is the Mighty Quinn Art work from?
Thanks!
I'd love to know too, please!
I also would like to know 🙂
Beautiful Transformation! Love the color of the walls; very calming.
What i do not realize is in reality how you are no longer really much more well-liked than you may be now. You are very intelligent. You realize therefore considerably when it comes to this subject, made me individually consider it from numerous varied angles. Its like men and women aren't involved except it is something to do with Girl gaga! Your individual stuffs great. Always care for it up!

Wow dude…. Your comment not very much sense make!!
man! i love love love your work!
Why can't the designer share the wall color???
Inquiring minds would love to know???
Hi! I have actually had many questions about the wall color of this room and unfortunately I don't have it. The client had it custom mixed and can't remember the formula. So sorry!
