When making Lincoln’s Room into his own we faced many challenges…the 100 year old walls of uneven plaster, logistics of the radiator, etc. We really wanted Lincoln to feel like his room is his sanctuary. We painted the walls a dark chocolate brown to cover the imperfections of the walls {without having to do an overhaul of the walls} and hung a small shelf above the radiator {which would otherwise be wasted space}. We incorporated all of his favorite things…cars, airplanes and big metal toys!
Here are some of the other things we did to the room and they will all be featured this month…
