My Boy's Room

It's a yucky mess here today but I hope your Wednesday is going great! My girls and I had some quiet time without the boys and it's been kind of nice. We do start missing our men folk, tho.

Although I'm not ready to share a BIG reveal I wanted to show you some things I have been working on in my son's bedroom this past month.



This was made from old keys and washers glued (E6000) to a piece of wood I got from my girl's broken dresser. Completely free! (It's above my son's closest which has yet to be painted white.)




My son picked out the 'Monster Truck' sign. Hobby Lobby 50%! The license plate is from 'My Sweetie's' current vehicle project. The number's sign I made from reclaimed backyard (backyard instead of barn....) wood and some numbers I have been collecting. Just used E6000 to glue them down. The hinge hanger you can read about here. I apologize for picture quality. This was actually the best of about 10 pictures. Hmph.








This 'thing' is probably my favorite. I lurve it! I had some leftover keys after my other key project and just went to hanging them from an embroidery hoop and jewelry wire. I then took some burlap and ticking fabric and tied it to the hoop to add a 'softer' edge. I came across the old rusty pulley at an antique store this past weekend. I can see it being taken out by a flying pillow in it's future but for now it looks lovely!




Remember this from yesterday? It's on the next wall. I'm still working on window treatments and bedding. Then we have a little painting to do. It seems like the never ending project!

I'm going for an industrial, antique rustic look. Is there such a thing? My son loves it so that's what I was hoping for!

Hope you have a great Wednesday!

  2. Visiting from the party at Mom 4 Real. I love all the vintage touches, especially with the keys. My boys' room has a vintage feel to it as well and I'm always looking for more ideas. Great job!
