I am so excited about sharing this, because I love the way it turned out! When we moved into our new house, I just brought all the baby stuff (cars and trucks) from his old room with, and hung it in his new room. I got sick of that, and knew it was time for a change. I wanted to pick a theme that would hopefully grow with him.
My awesome girlfriend Kristen painted with me, and did most of the ceiling. Thanks Kristen!
I decided to do C's room in retro robot and spaceship theme. I printed this pic off google images, and went from there...
I picked out the letters at The Wood Connection, and designed the robot and spaceship myself. Lucky for me, my cute neighbor friend works there, and let me do it right on the spot instead of waiting for 2 weeks. We all know how I like to wait for things!!! My friend thought the robot was so cute, that she wanted to start selling them. I haven't been back in to check though :) The shelf is from Robert's Crafts.
His solar system light rotates and lights up. He also has a cd to go with it that talks about the solar system. He loves to listen to it before he goes to bed every night. I got the pictures from Land of Nod, and had them framed locally. I also got the cute robot sheets from Land of Nod.
I made this headboard, and have a pic on the bottom of how it looked before it was finished. It cost a whole $22!!! I am so proud of myself! It was super easy, and Home Depot cut out all the wood. The side tables and lamp are from IKEA.
My super generous and fabulous neighbor cut out the metal for these cute wall decorations. He let me pick whatever design I wanted, and he cut them out. You can find him here if you are interested. I backed the robots with left over glitter paper from the wood letters, and the rocket is two pieces of sheet metal that we gorilla glued together after painting. I just LOVE them! Thanks BJ!
This is the bed before I painted it all the way. If you want the plans, please leave a comment with an e-mail address, and I will send you the measurements.I am linking to:

ReplyDeleteHow cute! Awesome job! I love the colors and the retro feel.
ReplyDeleteGlad Jen over at Tatertots & jello featured you. :)
I love it! My baby son's room is done in vintage space/robots. I knew that's what I wanted to do before I even had kids, so I'm thankful that I finally had a boy so I could get my space room. :) I've bought some really neat vintage space-themed felt pennants off of eBay and I have an incredible vintage space-themed game board from the early 1950s that I bought at an antique store years ago (that's what prompted the theme).
ReplyDeleteI love those prints from Land of Nod--I'm going to go check them out!
What a cute room! I LOVE the letters! It's all just so fun. Great job!

can you tell me where you found the silver comforter? This room is so cute!
ReplyDeleteHi Kellie,
ReplyDeleteIt is actually two flat twin sheets I got from IKEA and sewed together. I slipped his regular comforter in it. I couldn't find that color ANYWHERE, so I had to figure out a different solution. Hope that helps!
