This boy is a Spider-Man FANATIC!!! You can see the stickers on the walls, he was very hesitant to get rid of them but we compromised and saved the big one….
Let’s walk through what we did:
DECLUTTERED!!!!! And what a difference that can make!!
Now that I have a BLANK slate, I can visualize how to make the room function.
We did a quick clean with vacuuming and cleaning up the walls. Then, I enlisted my Dad and son to help me start moving furniture in.
The bed went in first and keeping Feng Shui rules in mind – we placed the bed on the right wall.
As I said in a previous post, none of this would have been possible without the hard work of all 4 of our parents. Donated bed, bedding, dresser, bookshelf, lamp, TV, and elbow grease! Thank you all so much!!!!!
The kids helped me make the bed.
Since my nephew was so excited about the bed, we had the kids go outside for an hour. Upon their return, he would have a sweet surprise waiting for him.
Thank God it was a nice day.
Here comes the rest:
After the furniture was in place, I kicked everyone out and did my thing. I did call my Dad back in the hang pictures but I could have done it (I think he loved being able to help).
Without further ado:
A few things – I left one Spider-Man sticker above his bed. I also left the letter I made him when he was born, even though its Carolina Panthers colors. He INSISTED that stayed! I asked him why he didn’t pick that theme….he said “maybe some day….” Ok kid, maybe some day!
While I can’t tell you how she did it, my stepmother made this dresser and bookshelf look more amazing then I could have imagined when she explained the process to me. I want to learn how to do this!!!
My Dad made the football play signs with a chalkboard.
I made the custom Cricut sign.
The lamp was made out of leftover fabric and Mod Podge. It was super simple and worked out great! (Thanks for the great idea Kate!)
As with all makeovers, especially this football BOY room –
Before and afters:
Needless to say, I have had so much fun doing this for my nephew and my sister. I am so grateful for the help of everyone involved in this room makeover.
- Kris for helping me with power tools.
- My kids for coming along because they knew I would need their help.
- Mom for coming and doing WAY more than I can share on here.
- Dad who thought he was coming to take the kids out of our hair….and ended up spending 6 hours there.
- Jan – I don’t even know what to say – I asked her to pick up a dresser I found on Craiglist because I couldn’t get there in time….and this is what she did.
- Tony for the bed and TV…where would we be without all of you????
My sister said, “Can you come back next weekend and do my room?” HAHAHA….nope! But I will come back and help you…..just might take me a year to recover from this one!
What do you think? Want a room like this one???
Happy Decorating,
