Boy's Room Makeover (Part 1): The Art Work

Pin It

The month of May holds a fun DIY project for me — to makeover my son, Parker's bedroom. 

My to-do list includes:

• Create artwork
• Paint dresser
• Paint walls/trim
• Update window treatment
• Bulletin board
• Paint chalkboard one section on wall
• Update bedding

I'm done the first thing on the list, so that's a start!

While we were on our epic summer vacation last summer, we picked up some memorabilia with Parker's room decor in mind.

We got these coasters in Cars Land at Disneyland & the Lego minifigures at Legoland (you'll see them below).

After picking up some frames from Michael's, I simply backed the openings with cardstock, then mounted these coasters on with some permanent adhesive squares.

Framing the Lego mini figures was a bit trickier, just because it involved some trial & error before it worked.

I started with a shadowbox frame.

I had to use some adhesive foam to pop them out a bit because the heads of the figures didn't sit flush with the bodies.

After the foam, I stuck them on with a temporary adhesive square. That didn't last long... the figures started falling off within a few hours. 

I went back to Michael's & bought some permanent adhesive squares (By 3M - available in the framing section) & tried those. 

They worked like a charm & it's still holding strong!

Stay tuned for more boy room projects in the month of May!
