Fireman Room Junk Chic Cottage!

I have a special surprise I did for my hubby to share with all of you.

I think a lot of you that have been following me for this past year and a half in blogland and have gotten to know me, know I am married to a fantastic guy for 33 years.  He is a Fire Chief and lives in my white and chippy cottage world without any complaints.  He is always willing to jump in and help me achieve my decor changes.  I could not have Junk Chic Cottage without him.  I wanted to do something nice for this man that supports me and my love of white and chippy.  He needed a "man room" of his very own.  I needed to have a space in this house that says hey! "a great guy and fireman lives here".  So I changed up my small guest room into an office just for him.


I was able to go shopping at his work office for lot's of treasures to move home to the new place.

As you can see he has lot's to choose from in his work office.  He has been in the fire service for over 35 years and has collected so many treasures.

Sorry these pictures are not the best I took them from my cell phone while at his work office.

Ok I think you get the idea he has a lot of great things for me to pick and choose from in his office.

This is my old small guest room before picture.

This is the new "man room" made just for the hubby.
We painted the walls the same light grey as I did on the Master Bedroom and then used a darker grey for the crown molding in the room.

I left up one of the twin beds so I would have the extra sleeping for when I have guests at the holidays.  I used black and grey bedding with red fire department pillows.

I hung up one of his shadow boxes filled with fire items and hung his vintage fire department signs.  We still need to find a few more old vintage signs that he loves to collect for some of the open spaces on this wall.

Got him a new comfy leather office chair.  I had to laugh because we went together to Staples to pick out his  chair and desk and the chair and desk both were from the Martha Stewart Collection!!!! Shhhhh don't tell him but I think I am rubbing off on him.

On this wall I hung some book shelves and some of his collectibles.

This is an old vintage fire bucket that Terry got at a Fireman Flea Market.  Yep! they have a flea market once a year  just with fire department stuff!  So I hung the vintage fire bucket with his vintage fire extinguisher sign.

This antique Fire Alarm Call Box is one of his favorite possessions.  He got this old box at a flea market and then restored it  and mounted it on this old fire post and Terry made the base out of diamond plate.

He searched for a long time to find a collector selling the eagle top finial that always was on these old alarm boxes. This Alarm Box also had the original keys to the box.  It was a great score and I think he did a great job fixing this beauty up.

This is a shadow box made up of all his badges from the different ranks he has been in the fire service.

I made up this wall with all his leather shields that he has worn on his helmut throughout the years.  He started as a firefighter/paramedic and rose up through the ranks, Lt.,  Captain, Battalion Chief, Deputy Chief and now Chief.

I went to Hobby Lobby and got wooden letters to spell out the words and spray painted them black.

My Hero

There you have it the reveal of the new "fireman room" I made this past week end for the hubby.  He is not only an angel in my life but in the lives of others.  He has given his whole life to the fire service and saving and protecting others.  He it truly my hero and I was so excited to do this room for him.  Terry  jumped right in with painting etc. and the layout so it was fun working on this together.

Thanks for coming by
