I was tempted to style his room but thought it better to just show the room the way it really looks. The blog world is filled with beautifully perfect pictures and I find it refreshing every once in a while to see homes the way people actually live in them - half made Legos on the dresser and floor, pictures hung crooked, baseballs with no cases yet, etc.
So what is the record? I am now the proud owner of a wall with 30 (yes, 30!) holes. The original six boards had twelve holes, the new ones sixteen and the shelf two. Total of 30. I am hoping he will never out grow these boards as I will have many holes to patch.
Note: I have been absent the past few weeks due to computer problems. I am trying my best to catch up on everything I missed. Thanks for your patience.

My hubby would have a heart attack over that many holes in a wall! I always have to hang stuff when he's not home. This looks great! Good idea, too to build off of what was already there. The room is fine ~ he's a boy, it's a boy's room, there should be Legos lying around!
Love the corkboards, your sons room looks great!
Great idea to add the additional corkboards and the shelf. Had to laugh about the amount of holes. That would definitely put my husband (okay and maybe me a little bit too) over the edge. :-) Thankfully holes can always be patched...
I love that you think about your boys's room - even though the boys probably don't (as much). Trust me, it makes a difference - and they will remember that you were a thoughtful mom for it (I say this from experience!)
I can still vividly remember the first hole that we drilled in our new house - I was so nervous that my beautiful pristine walls were going to be ruined all for the sake of a painting. Luckily this fear has passed but I have to say I don't know how I'd go with 30 holes in one room! Your son's room looks fabulous. Leigh
Aw! What a nice mom you are!!! Love that you didn't "style" before the pic. What boy keeps their room spankin' clean anyways? Hope your computer bugs get fixed, that's the worst.
Bulletin board a much better place to hang things!
