BOY ROOM DECOR

I'VE BEEN TRYING TO GRUNGE UP MY TODDLERS ROOM. IT'S HARD TO WORK WITH A SHINY BRIGHT BLUE RACE CAR BED.  I KEEP TELLING MYSELF HE WON'T BE IN IT FOREVER.

MY MOTHER-IN-LAW HAD AN OLD TENNIS RACKET AND BAT IN HER FREE BOX FOR A GARAGE SALE.  THAT IS WHAT STARTED MY BOY SPORTS THEME.

I USED MY DAD'S OLD BASEBALL GLOVE, FOUND A TRAIN PIGGY BANK, AND MADE A BANNER.  IT'S BURLAP AND CHECKER FABRIC SEWED ON CARDSTOCK PAPER.  IT ALL HANGS ON A SEAM BINDING.

I ALSO BORROWED THE IDEA OF MAKING A STAR OUT OF A FOLDING TAPE MEASURE.  THE LARGE CREAM COLOR DRESSER NEEDED SOME FLAIR, SINCE IT LACKED KNOBS OR PULLLS.  I CUT VINYL SHAPES ON MY CRICUT EXPRESSION USING THE HERITAGE CARTRIDGE.  WE DID HAVE AN INCIDENT, WHERE MY SON COLORED EACH IMAGE (AND SURROUNDING AREA!) WITH YELLOW CRAYON.  BUT SOFT SCRUB CLEANED IT OFF NICELY. 

I HOPE YOU'VE ENJOYED THE TOUR.  IT'S A SHORT ONE, BECAUSE HIS ROOM IS SMALL.
