Ok, I'm FINALLY done enough with the boys room to share pictures of it. I still have two projects to do but those probably won't get done for a long time...if ever :) So I already posted pictures of the boys' new bed...they love it! It's very sturdy too which makes me feel good about their saftey. (Excuse the blurry pictures, my wider camera lens is broken, I need to get a new one!)
I decided a travel theme would be fun to do and hopefully grow with them a bit. The bottom picture is of China in case you didn't know :) I just drew these onto scrapbook paper with a white paint pen. (actually traced them from a stencil I made, I did NOT draw them free-hand!)
The room isn't that big-you can see the bunk beds still on the left. I painted the curtains (just plain basic ones from Target) with wall paint to make the stripes. I wasn't sure if it would work but it did! I am obsessed with stripes lately :).
Ryan and I built that frame around the giant map because I couldn't find one big enough. It was our first time doing anything like that and in person you can definitely tell. But at least in pictures you can't!
This is at the foot of their bed. Just a few pieces of wood and I used my cricut and vinyl for the letters.
Lastly some photos of the boys! These are some of my favorites of them (and one of the four cousins).
I just painted the sides of canvases and then glued a photo on the canvas with elmers glue! So so easy. (I LOVE this photo of Cooper by the way-he's being Clark Kent and thought of it all by himself. He ran and got glasses and then just put a shirt on over his superman shirt! :))
My helper jumped in the picture and then did this silly face. Gotta love him!
So that's it! I still want to put some sort of shelf by each bed so the boys have a place to store the books they're reading, and I want to put a shelf up high for trophies and stuff like that. Nothing too hard, it's just a matter of making myself do it! Maybe one of these days. Now I need to get started on our daughter's room!
