Decorating Xander's Room


So, as many of you know, we originally thought Xander was going to be a girl. Because of that, Tracy and I had bought a pink bedspread and a few things to go with it.

Well obviously Xander wasn't going to be a pink kid, so we had to take back the pink stuff, which was ok with me.

The next step was to find a new bedroom set for the little man.

Anyone that knows me knows that I am a sports guy. I love almost every sport - watching, playing, playing the video game, everything. We looked at several different designs that didn't invovle sports. They were cool, but not exactly what I wanted.

I was told that since I got to pick the name that I really didn't get a say in what the room looked like.

To start, we painted the room yellow. Luckily I was able early on to say that by painting it yellow we wouldn't tip people off to what we were (supposedly) having.

There were a lot of very nice looking bedroom sets for boys, but I still had my heart set on something sports.

Eventually Tracy found a set at Target that was sports that she liked. It has bright, bold colors, so it matches the yellow walls.

Now to just decorate the walls. . .
