{Zack's Bedroom Tour}

Kate from the blog and shop The Enchanted Closet, invited us into her home in Woodend, Victoria for a tour of her son's room. Pop by her blog for a visit and say hi.


Who lives here: Zack, 9 years old

Describe your style: I think my style is boyish but Mum is the decorator, with some of my ideas mixed in.

Where do you find inspiration: I really like red and blue, so I like these colours used in my room.

What's your favourite piece in your bedroom: Umm, my collection of snowdomes are my favourite things and all the lego things I build. I also love my big bed, it is so comfortable.

What are your favourite shopping haunts: I don't really like shopping but I asked Mum and she said most of my furniture is vintage and she loves places like The Mill in Daylesford, Victoria for old furniture. Provincial Living, Bed Bath & Table and Ikea are where other bits and pieces come from in my bedroom.

Are there any heirloom pieces: The horse painting was my great nan and pop's which they bought a long time ago.

What has been your most extravagant purchase: Mum said there was nothing too extravagant in my room, it was all a bit of a bargain really.

Your best bargain buys: Mum says the vintage style surfers pillowcases were a steal at $5 each from Bed, Bath & Table on sale.

Are you coveting anything: A Playstation 3 and a drum kit- sorry I couldn't think of anything I need for my room. Mum said to say a mural of the world map that covers an entire wall.

Are there any handmade touches: Mum painted the ‘Z’ on the wall and did up the tables beside my bed.

What storage solutions do your recommend for keeping an organised space: My room is like an attic so I have five big cupboards built into the walls for me to put all of my stuff in. I also like the white bookcase that I can keep a lot of stuff on (Mum said it is from Ikea).

What's next for the room: I’m not sure but I would like a desk area and computer in my room but Mum says no computer in my bedroom.

How can others achieve this look: Use lots of white, blue and red and Mum says don’t spend a fortune on furniture but look for vintage pieces that you can do up.

Thanks, Zack!
