We have made a start on a room for William
But it is not working for him or me
Not in the way that Esther’s bedroom works for her
I wonder if it is because Esther’s room
Has a definite theme
It was easier to finish
It is easier to adapt and change
As her likes and needs change and grow
I have been wondering what kind of theme
Might suit William
When I found the perfect furniture range for him
The Captain range from Babios UK
Invictus
William Ernest Henley, 1849 – 1903
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
William loves pirates
He loves stories
Adventure
He loves the sea
He would totally love sleeping on his very own ship
The Captain bedroom range is perfect for a boy like William
It has drawers and bookcases
And a boat bed with shelves
It has storage options galore
For a boy who likes books
Top Trumps
Lego
Stuff
For a boy who likes collecting treasure
Pirate treasure!
This pirate themed bedroom set may not be for everyone
But I know it would be for William
I can see his reaction walking into a room like this
Made for him
It would be … priceless
I can hear him saying
This is not furniture Mummy
This is funiture
Not furniture, Mummy
Funiture!
Here is some more of the range
I love the style of this furniture set
I think it would be fun to accessorise
I think it would inspire a life of adventure
And nights of dreams of sea faring treasure seeking
I can imagine William lying on the bed reading his books
Writing his Captain’s Log at his desk
At the end of each day
Inviting his sister’s in for pirate story time
And imaginative play
This Babios furniture is not cheap
But if I could afford it
I would definitely buy it
For my boy
I think that this could grow with a child
Through tween and early teen years
Through Peter Pan
And Treasure Island
To Pirates of the Caribbean
And I think it would be a lot of fun
As a parent too
To dress and accessorise
With the changing wants and needs of the child
Oh to be a pirate!
Oh to be the captain
Of your very own ship!
If your little one is more into wheels than water
And would rather race a car
Than sail a ship
Then this could be the bed for them
And all the inspiration you need
To create a race track room
