big brother's hot rod room

before tackling baby girl's room, we had the task of big brother's "hot rod" room. we also had not painted the trim in either bedroom since transforming the rest of the house's orangey 80's oak trim to a honey milk white about a year ago. so off to lowe's we go.

for the walls we found a great denim blue color, appropriately named Jekyll. i found a couple of cool vintage race car prints online to replace some french soda ads i had framed when decorating my first baby's room.

before...
and after...


i needed a large piece for over his bed, but struggled with the prices of stretched canvas and large poster art. my walls are textured, so i can't really use those trendy decals. i considered tacking a rug or pegboard up, and then finally found this little gem. a 24 x 36 floor puzzle for $19 - jackpot! a silver frame and a little modpodge later... and voila!

everything else is pretty much the same or other pieces that i already had (such as the blue side table). i think it turned out pretty cute!


(orbs!)
