A few weeks ago, I wrote about Alessandra’s big girl room and designed a mood board for her parents to help with accessorizing the room. If you missed it, you can see the Princess and the Pea inspired room HERE.
When I was talking to her mom, Paola, about their plans for the room, she mentioned that her son Luca was wanting to change up his room too. I guess all the commotion and excitement for his little’s sister’s room made him want a little of the same. Understandable.
I honestly have no idea if any changes to his room are in the works, but for some reason, it got my wheels turning and thinking about Luca and what he likes. Right now, he is obsessed with paper airplanes. He makes them all of the time. His love for making paper airplanes has rubbed off on our boys. So now, at any given moment in time, you will find them strewn everywhere at our house. You might even have one fly into your pots and pans while you are making dinner. That’s a regular occurrence around here.
While that was still in the back of my mind, I stumbled upon the playful paper airplane pillow on Uncommon Goods, and I couldn’t help but put together some ideas for a little “refresh” of Luca’s bedroom. Just for fun. Because this is my idea of fun. I know…weird.
The mood board below is called “Dreams of Flight”. I think paper airplanes represent so many joyful things about childhood, imagination and creativity. Here’s what I came up with:
Pendant Light / Paper Planes Canvas / Honeycomb Wall Shelves / Paper Airplane Pillow / Blue Wall Hooks / Floor Basket / Bed / Metal Nightstand / Grid Sheet Set / Lamp / Gray Quilt / Rug / Dresser / Little Paper Airplane Print
One thing that stumped me was the wall color. I love how the elements look against white walls, but then, I remembered that Luca’s walls are currently a very pale light blue. When I see how the same elements look with the pale blue, I kind of like it! So I did another version with the blue walls. Do you have a preference? I think both could look really great!

Oh my goodness, Ale! You are so wonderful and special to us! We just finished reading the blog and we are all thrilled…especially Luca, his eyes grew SO big when he saw the mood board and he started jumping up and down, he LOVED everything! We now know exactly what we’re going to do with his room…starting with the wall art and pillow! We love you, thank you so very much!! XO
