This is a real boys room, now I try to get "cool" ideas to decorate his room, but when said boy has so many different interest and is still growing and trying every experience out there. How does one decorate such a room? He is just a well rounded individual, that wants to keep his options open, right?
This is the collection of interest. Let's have an inventory look, skateboarder wall sticker, a guitar picture, football frame, a favorite auntie holding up the Statue of Liberty, a jar of skateboard toy parts, a pinewood derby car. Now the stuff some might wonder about, lava lamp you might say cool, but pink for a boy, well we all know around these parts, pink can be a favorite color for a tough boy. A rock not a cool rock from an exotic beach trip but a rock, it is sweet his brother did paint a hieroglyphics on it for him. And the best yet, an air wick air freshener, now
little boys do stink and I'm all for him having a nice smelling room but, when a boy ask for a room freshener, I find that interesting, I just didn't know any type of guy thought about that sort of thing.
Now this thing over here is my attempt of a PB copy, in the PBteen catalog I saw skateboard shelves, how cool is that! I had my ah ha moment and thought to myself, that garbage out in the garage and back yard can become something cool. Not only is it recycling to some degree, it had personal meaning, being his first skateboard and all.
It was definitely loved. And so is my pink loving, nail polish wearing, skateboarding, football loving little boy.
Yet another shower curtain, the last thrift store find was perfect until I brought it home to hang it up and realized it was to short and did not have the feng shui I was looking for. Now, this was found at Ross while buying boys shoes, always on the look out for a good find. It compliments the frog every morning and the frog no longer has to stare at the darkness that was there before, he seems to be smiling now. Luckily for the frog he is having a nice conversation with the lovely curtain and not this behind him.
Darn that Santa, and that blue stuff that stains everything within spitting distance.
