Boys Bedroom Christmas Decor

Fa-la-la we are getting so close to Christmas!  I’m sharing Kole’s Christmas bedroom with you all today!  I had so much fun decorating it for the holidays this year!  My kids get so excited about Christmas decor (hmm.. wonder where they get that from?).  :)  I have definitely passed on a love of making our home festive this time of year because my kids always want their rooms decorated!  My girls decorated their own this year and Kole kept asking me to make his room “feel like Christmas too.” :)

So one day last week while he was at school I completely transformed his room with fun new bedding and decor from The Home Depot!  We often visit the store when we’re working on home projects, but I also love ordering things from The Home Depot on-line because they carry thousands of brand name home decor products and they ship for free over $45.  The biggest change I made in his bedroom was adding this cute Bear Tracks Flannel Duvet Cover and matching pillow shams.  I’m so in love with this bedding for a boy’s bedroom!  Especially fun during the winter months.  I also picked up these elegant comfort sheets to add a pop of red (they come in lots of colors!).  I’m thrilled about how soft they are for such a low price!

I knew I wanted to put some real trees next to Kole’s bed and was so excited to find these beauties at the The Home Depot garden section.  They couldn’t come home with me fast enough!  After Christmas I’ll add them to my porch or somewhere else fun in the house.  We’ll see how long I can keep them living.  My husband was shopping for other things and just shook his head when I told him to load these large trees in the truck.  He doesn’t even ask anymore.  Ha.

I found the tree on the right and it was so perfectly shaped so I kept trying to find one that matched it better, but the rest of the trees were a little more on the shaggy side. I had to remind myself of my favorite Christmas story “Why Christmas Trees Aren’t Perfect.”  It’s about a little tree who ends up looking messy when he’s all grown up instead of perfect like the other trees because he spends his life helping animals stay warm, etc.  (If you haven’t read the story it’s darling!  A favorite we read on Christmas Eve every year.)  So the shaggy tree on the left side of his bed stood out and came home with me.  Perfectly unperfect. :)

I also got some fun lights at The Home Depot and strung them across his bed and in the trees.  I just used scotch tape to hold the string of lights over his bed.  You don’t have to get too tricky with a metal headboard. :)

The rest of Kole’s room is also feeling festive!

This brown bark and faux fur tree is absolutely beautiful!  Lightweight and really tall.  I’m excited to have it for future years to move around my house.  I also picked up this fun vintage candy gum ball machine because ours broke a while back and it’s a favorite.  I used it as a reward system to potty train all three of my kids. :)  No gum in it while it’s in Kole’s room though.  When it’s back in our kitchen and I can monitor it I’ll fill it up again.  Trying to keep kids cavity free around here!

This small lighted grey Christmas tree is so perfect for rooms with an industrial vibe!  I love the way it looks at night.  Grinch is also a fan. :)

Admittedly project “finish up Kole’s room” got put on the back burner this year so I never added pictures to his bulletin board or pillows to his window seat (it’s usually covered in toys anyway).  All good because it gave me room to add some of my kids’ favorite Christmas stuffed animals.

Kole has loved having new “friends” in his room to play with. :)

I also never got around to styling this bookshelf so I just added these cute bristle pine trees that light up at night and some nutcrackers from The Home Depot we’ve had for years.  They are one of Kole’s favorite things to pull out every December so he was excited to have them all to himself in his room this year!

I also ordered these stacking baskets to try in his room and love the look, but I think I’m going to find baskets that are longer for this shelf and use these to organize some things in Kole’s bathroom.  Notice his perfectly lined up organized books!  Last week’s project because I was feeling stressed.  I walked into his room, pulled the messy books off of his shelf and started purging, categorizing, and stacking.

I instantly felt better.  :) #mytherapy

This wood tic-tac-toe table decor is another favorite find of ours!  Kole has always loved playing this simple game and I like this set for room decor when he’s not using it.  I snapped these pics quickly so they are a bit blurry.. I wanted to catch my kids in action before they really noticed and stopped playing!

Can you tell by their faces who won the last two rounds?

And the two rounds following that?  Ha ha.. keep practicing buddy!  Someday you’ll be running circles around her. ;)

I was especially excited to decorate this space for Kole because he is at such a fun age and so into Christmas.  He wakes up every morning and puts on his little robe and Santa slippers and races downstairs to see where our elf is hiding.  His excitement is contagious!  Because he’s my last and I know how fast these elementary school years go by I am soaking up every minute with him.  And maybe admittedly spoiling him just a tad.  I can’t help it. :)

    Oh wow, Erin! What a wonderfully decorated space you have created! Kole is a lucky young man to have such a thoughtful and caring mom! You did an amazing job filling his room with Christmas. Love the trees and the story about being perfectly imperfect. Every detail is thoughtful and loving and reflects Kole so well! Fantastic job!

    I love this room. It has the right amount of festive. I had no idea Home Depot carried bedding. I am definitely going to look into this. The Toc Tac Toe is a must have. I would like to know where you found the iron bed with wood.

      Hi Ralinn! Thank you! I’m so happy you like his room! Yes.. Home Depot carries some really fun bedding. A lot of people don’t realize that you can get so many great home decor items from them on-line! And we love our tic tac toe board! :) Kole’s bed is from PB kids and I added a link! It looks like they only have it in a full size or bunk bed now. Thanks again and happy holidays! xo

    Such a sweet room and really enjoyed your guest room too! I liked your Hot Cocoa sign so much that a ordered a small one (20×20) for above our cooktop and we have the Reindeer Sleigh Rides (48×36) above our piano with sweet sisal reindeer on the piano top – love them – I was delighted to see that you had the smaller version of that sign in your guest room! Lots of great ideas, thank you! Wishing your family a very Merry Christmas from a friend in Iowa :)

    Awwww……..koles room is so cute! Nice job! All of your rooms are so festive. My son still has his gum ball machine just like that one. He’s 33 years old and he can’t seem to part with it. I put it in his room when he was a toddler, his room was primary colored dinosaurs. Your home is perfect! Every room has Christmas decor but not over the top. Have a wonderful Christmas.!🎄And a happy new year!! 🎉

      Thank you so much Noreen! So sweet of you! I’m so happy you like Kole’s room and love that your son still has his gumball machine! That will likely be the case with my kids too.. they all love it! I bet it seems crazy your son is 33. I just can’t get over how big my kids are this year and how quickly it’s all going by. I hope you get to spend time with your family this holiday season! Have the best Christmas sweet friend and thank you for always being so kind and encouraging! XO

    I raised two wonderful sons and believe me when I say, they both would have loved this room. It’s so creative and not at all run of the mill predictable. Subtle masculinity. Love everything about it! Not always easy stylizing things for boys, but you nailed it!! Merry Christmas! Love your blog!
