My little guy’s room is almost done.
I have a few finishing touches to do like curtains, a couple of pillows, and more blue in the little room behind the door but here are some pictures that show the theme.
You guessed it…not so unique but he likes it. The football player is painted with white board paint and after 2 days of curing, my LG was anxious to put his dry erase markers to work. The plain white silhouette was creatively transformed into the likeness of every Indianapolis boy’s hero, #18 Peyton Manning.
I bought Colts fleece and made a blanket with that super soft fuzzy fleece on the underside and he LOVES it. The bunk beds were the cats meow a month ago and now the “couch” made out of an extra twin mattress and box spring is the bed of choice.
I used Sherwin Williams Duration paint in a Matte finish, Relaxed Khaki for the walls and ceiling and Blue Chip for the accent wall and stripe.
The white board is made by Rustoleum and is quite easy to work with but the silhouette does require a pretty fast worker. White board paint needs to be done within 2 hours of mixing the activator with the base. Three coats were necessary to cover the blue.
Before the artist got to work.
After the customization. Notice the flag football player on the wall.
Notice the details. Seems as though “that” company’s marketing campaign is working.
The furniture in this room is all “recycled.” Dressers are from Great Grandmas, bunk beds from a neighborhood garage sale, ladder, made by his dad from wood in the garage, desk in little room, $5 from a sale at the Catholic School, lamp table from Nana’s house many years ago. In other words, we don’t buy new furniture for our kids! When it came time to get a new bedroom set, WE got one! It’s just as well, the water stains, permanent marker and scratches look better on “weathered“ stuff.
It looks awesome- A really well done job and so happy the little one loves it!
Wow! Liam must be thrilled. Great job on Peyton.
This is just great, Peg! I’m sure that Liam just loves it! My house could really use your touch. It needs some new paint. I have all of the “old” furniture. I’m anxious to see Liam’s room when we’re there for Thanksgiving.
Much love to all,
Mom
Looks great, Peg! Nice job. I can imagine L loves it.
