Now that the World Series is over, I thought I would extend the season just a bit by sharing my son’s baseball bedroom. Our son, Luke, bleeds Cubbie blue (takes after his Dad), so it only made sense to create a fun, bright space where he can pay homage to his favorite team. No joke, he replaces the names in that annoying “Mommy finger” song to “Kris Bryant finger, where are you?” and cried the day we took down our W flag.
Now in Luke’s room, the season goes all year long! It has quickly become one of our favorite rooms in the house; it hosts daily train play and nightly batting practice. The huge windows overlook the beautiful fall foliage and allow the sunlight to pour in, making it a cheery space even in these windy Chicago days.
It wouldn’t be a proper Cubs room without the Wrigley Field marquis that we ordered from FatHead. The red helped to counter all the blue in the room and added the perfect focal point above the bed.
This little book nook is where Luke picks out his bedtime stories and keeps his “buddies” when they aren’t hanging out in his bed. The cubbies (pun intended) and striped baskets were an easy and affordable storage solution (love that free shipping from Target!) to keep that area organized. The navy blue chair is vintage from my grandmother that I recently had refinished and the grey star chair is a Pottery Barn Kids Anywhere chair.
The iron headboard is from Wayfair and helps to tie the vintage nightstands together with the more current pieces in the room. The comforter and sheets are both from Target’s PillowFort line.
The blue lamps are from HomeGoods and add the perfect amount of height to the wall – and the perfect amount of light for bedtime stories.
The area rug is what really makes this room. It is super soft and a fun play on a baseball diamond. Luke loves to hit home run after home run on it or use the trellis as train tracks. I have ordered multiple area rugs from RugsUSA and have yet to be disappointed! They are always running great promotions and offering free shipping.
My husband had fun getting in on the Cubs decor and ordered this special signed scorecard from Kerry Wood’s 20K game that benefits the Wood Family Foundation. I was very happy to find this cool hanging frame that perfectly fit the odd-sized scorecard from Heath and Hand by Magnolia at Target.
Luke loves all forms of transportation, so when I found the vintage-looking fighter plane at HomeGoods, I knew we had to include it. We used fishing wire to keep it in constant flight. The ceramic hot air balloon actually hung on the wall in my childhood bedroom as well as my mom’s! Fun little heirloom.
It probably doesn’t look like it, but this Fiddle Leaf Fig tree has made a huuuuge comeback and is very happy in this room. Before we moved it, there was only one leaf remaining – and now it is growing a second plant at the base of the trunk!! Highly recommend Lechuza’s Self-watering planters for house plants. The drainage system keeps the roots from rotting out – and have saved two Fiddle Leafs in our house!
This is how we are currently positioning the room while our little guy gets acclimated to his big boy bed.
Wicker storage basket is from Target (similar here).

And now we begin the countdown until opening day…
