Here it is! Henry's long awaited "big-boy room." I've had so much fun putting together this Montessori toddler bedroom and I'm so excited to share it with everyone.

This could get long, so I'll break it up into parts.
Sleeping Area
The twin-sized bed sits on the box spring on the floor. Its the perfect size for Henry to get in and out. The bedding is from Target. The wooden crates were found for around $1 each at Goodwill, then painted. The letters are from Michaels and are also hand painted.
Play Area
This area was created by hanging two Ikea shelves at different heights. The first is hung at a height that allows Henry to stand and play. The second is a small desk and hung so he can comfortably sit. Stay tuned for more information about these awesome robot prints! The crayon sorter was made using this tutorial.
Reading Area
This area was created by re-purposing a children's bookcase that has been in my family since I was a small child. With some new paint it is the perfect place to store Henry's growing library.
Play Features
The chalkboard wall was painted low to the ground so Henry could easily use it either sitting or standing with Benjamin Moore Chalkboard Paint. It still needs to be framed out so that the chalk stays off the wall. The chalk lives in a small bucket found at Target's dollar spot, and hangs on a hook next to the wall. In addition to the chalkboard, there is the DIY Mix-and-Match wooden robots -- you can find more about those here.
See here for a tour of Henry's Montessori toddler closet! We still have a few fixes in this room, mainly the curtains need to be officially hemmed and the framing on the chalkboard needs to be installed. But, Henry is officially moved in and doing great!
