We have not stopped around here lately. Since the holidays are around the corner, and I'll be into my third trimester by the time they are done, I have felt this pressure to have as much prepared for Chloe's arrival as possible before the end of November.
One thing that was really important to me to get done well in advance of the baby's arrival was to transfer Caleb to his new bedroom and out of his crib. We decided not to purchase a new nursery set and instead we purchased Caleb a twin sized bed that he would be able to use for years to come.
I knew I didn't want a dresser in the room because his closet has great bones and I preferred some toy and book storage in there, so one of the things on my list was a bed with storage underneath. We found this set from City Furniture, and I had my heart set on it since I spotted it. It was clean, had storage, and was sturdy. It was also a reasonable price.
We asked Caleb how he wanted his room decorated and made a really big deal of having him go with us to "pick out" the bed (I actually just led him over to the bed and asked him how he liked it and he said, "Mommy, wike it," and that was that. We made a big deal on delivery day, and that weekend, he announced that he wanted to sleep in his "big boy bed." He cried once or twice the first week, but now he jumps into bed every night and hasn't given us any issues whatsoever.
The sheets, comforter, rug, and pillows are all from Target - I linked as many similar items as I could below.
The letters that spell out his name, the sign over the bed, and the cartoon sound effect signs my parents picked up at Hobby Lobby. I had seen photos of a superhero bedroom where the capes were all hung on the wall, so when hubby ordered these capes (affiliate link) from Amazon, I knew I had to do the same thing.
Heeding my friend Jessica's advice (find her juicy morsels of organizational perfection on her site, Thoughtfully Organized), I organized his books by color. It's really just so pleasing to the eye! The bookshelf and bins are from IKEA - the bins hold SO much, so there are toys stored in there.
The lettering on the wall I had done when the room was Caleb's playroom, but I decided to keep it up and I think it adds a nice touch to the room. The trunk at the foot of the bed was a gift from my aunt - my dad painted it white and I hand lettered the top of it to personalize it some. It holds all his stuffed animals. Once his closet was finished, I asked him if he was ready to let his little sister have his old baby room, and his reply was, "Yeah, Mommy. Baby sister Chloe my baby room. I sleep in my big boy bed." So all in all, I'd say it was a successful transition! Let's see what happens when she arrives, huh?
What do you think? A room fit for a superhero?

A nice and plush mattress is what gives you the peaceful sleeping experience, isn't it? Most home owners prefer to cover their mattress with a nice bed sheet.
