So, Octavian's big boy room makeover has officially spiraled out of control. I am obsessed. OBSESSED! I can't stop adding more and more and more big and small details.

Overall, however, Octavian's room has been done on a budget. Thank you Ikea for providing me with a canvas and Pinterest for providing me with inspiration.

Can you imagine? HA! I can! (Potential hospital and vet visits aside) I can't decide what would win, my frustration or inability to stop laughing. Probably both.
